Semiconductor Manufacturers

I have found the sites on this list useful for getting data-sheets, information and sometimes samples. Some of the links are to the manufacturer's home page, some are to their search engine, or data sheet archives.

• Analog Devices (lots of nice analog stuff, precision, low power...)
• Burr-Brown (lots of nice analog stuff, precision, low power...)
• Cypress Semiconductors (programmable logic and some other things)
• Dallas Semiconductor (interesting parts, digital potentiometers, non-volatile RAM and clocks...)
• Intel
• Fairchild
• International Rectifier (power HEXFETs and IGBTs)
• Harris (specialty analog electronics)
• Micrel 
• Microchip (the maker of the PIC microcontroller)
• Maxim (lots of interesting parts, low power, power supply...)
• Motorola
• Motorola DSP's
• Phillips
• National Semiconductor
• STMicroelectronics System-on-Chip (SoC) and semiconductor solutions
• Texas Instruments
• Unitrode (specialty electronics - transformerless power supplies...)
  
  
• A good alternative listing
• Another good listing (Chip Directory)

Send me email if you have any additions to this list, or if a link doesn't work. If it is a small company, please include a short description of the types of parts they manufacture.
