ABLIC started its analog semiconductor business in 1968 with the development of CMOS ICs for the world's first mass-produced quartz watches. ABLIC has been playing an important role in the analog semiconductor business, one of the 8 spears, with its strength in product development utilizing "advanced analog technology that realizes small size and low power consumption," providing high-precision analog and mixed signal semiconductors to customers in the fields of automotive, medical equipment, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics.
In particular, the medical equipment business, which was transferred from Hitachi, Ltd. in 2016, is one of ABLIC's focus areas and has been growing steadily with transmitter ICs, key devices for ultrasound diagnostic equipment, and high-voltage switch ICs, as its main products.
Subject Business develops and sells handheld type ultrasound diagnostic equipment solutions (LSI/board modules/devices) for the healthcare and medical fields, featuring wireless, low power consumption, small size and light weight, and high-definition images. The source of Subject Business's competitiveness is its in-depth knowledge of systems, including firmware in addition to LSA, and its reception technology, including high-definition image generation.
