Introduction: Xicor is a technology leading electronic component manufacturer located in California, USA. Xicor utilizes its unique non-volatile product technology to provide programmable "smart analog" products and digital products for the communication, consumer, and industrial markets. Xicor's main products include CNC "analog" potentiometers, system management products using analog units, and encrypted standard digital storage products. All Xicor products have the feature of being programmable online, and can maintain information without loss when the system is shut down or accidentally powered off. This feature not only allows system designers to shorten the design cycle and accelerate the pace of bringing products to the market, but also allows users to modify software on-site, change work environments, encrypt data, achieve remote maintenance and personalized product settings. In addition, many of the company's products have low power consumption, work well at low voltages, and are lightweight and small in size, making them very suitable for use in portable devices. In 2004, Intersil announced the acquisition of Xicor Inc for $529 million to expand its analog chip product line.
