Monolithic Power Systems designs, develops and markets high-performance power solutions. The company focuses on the market for high-performance analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs). Monolithic's products are widely utilized in industrial applications, telecommunication infrastructures, cloud computing, automotive and consumer applications. Being a fabless company, Monolithic works with third-party contractors and chip assemblers for the manufacturing, assembling and testing of wafers and ICs. This approach permits the company to focus more on the designing and development of process technology at a lower-fixed cost. Unlike other fabless semiconductor companies, Monolithic installs its own proprietary process technologies in third-party contractors' equipment and facilities.
