The supplier of audio and mixed-signal chips mainly in to the consumer and industrial markets has just completed a year "refreshing” its product lines.
This has resulted in a wider range of products aimed at different consumer and industrial markets.
“High performance audio and mixed-signal semiconductor solutions are no longer only found in portable music players and hi-fis; they are being designed into hundreds of products, from TVs and set-top boxes, to mobile phones and mobile accessories, car infotainment, secure-access systems and medical electronics devices,” said Andrew Bickley, sales director for Europe at Wolfson.
A key part of the deal will be the tracking European or US design ins which are manufactured in Asia.
“We can see a huge amount of demand for products such as silicon microphones, high-performance digital-to-audio converters and low-power audio ICs,” said Colin Weaving, technical sales director at Future Electronics in Europe.
