Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Devices that are designed to send or receives signals.

Analog Switches, Multiplexers, Demultiplexers Devices that are designed to block or reroute data signals.

Controllers Devices that are designed to control a signal between two points.

UARTs Devices that are designed to convert parallel bits into serial bits for transmission or convert serial bits into parallel bits for use in a circuit. UART is short for Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter.

Sensor and Detector Interfaces Devices that are designed to be used to facilitate communications between sensors and the rest of the circuit.

I/O Expanders Devices that are designed to increase the number of input/output ports.

Encoders, Decoders Devices that are designed to change data. Encoders change the input using a specific operation. Decoders reverse the process to provide the original data.

CODECs A semiconductor device that is used to transform data by compression/decompression. Transmission speeds can be improved and less storage space is taken up by compressing data.

Signal Buffers, Repeaters, Splitters Devices that are designed to hold, retransmit, or separate data signals.

Telecom Devices that are designed to help facilitate communications between external sources and an electronic circuit. Items in this family are designed to work in communication systems.

Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) Devices that are used to produce an analog waveform digitally.

Filters - Active Devices that are designed to remove unwanted frequencies and signals from a circuit using amplifying components.

Modem ICs and Modules Devices that modulate or demodulate an incoming signal.

Voice Record and Playback Devices that are designed to be store and or reproduce an audible signal.

Serializers, Deserializers Devices that are designed to convert parallel data into serial for transmission or take a serial signal and convert it into parallel data for use in a circuit.

Signal Terminators Devices that are designed to provide an electrical end to a signal path to prevent the signal from being reflected back into the circuit.

Modules Devices composed of multiple parts that are designed to help facilitate communications between external sources and an electronic circuit.

Specialized Devices that are designed to be used to facilitate communications between portions of a circuit in specific situations.
