IXYS Corporation's production of power semiconductor consists of Power MOS (metal–oxide–silicon) transistors and power bipolar. These series of products convert high voltage or current electricity to regular power. The company's production of integrated circuits are used for analog, mixed-signal and digital interface solutions in communication, such as solid-state relays (SSRs), line card access switch (LCAS), Litelink™. The RF Power Semiconductors convert high rates electricity for amplification or reception. In addition, IXYS provides laser diode drivers, direct copper bond (DCB).[12]
