Thewireless segment is expected to overtake computers as theworld's leading application market for semiconductor purchasing by original equipmentmanufacturers (OEMs), starting in 2011, according to IHS iSuppli, El Segundo, Calif. Driven by sales of smart phones and tablets,
OEMs in 2011will buy $55.4 billionworth of semiconductors in 2011 for use inwireless devices, up 10.7 percent from$50.1 billion in 2010, according to a recent IHS iSuppli Semiconductor Spend Analysis report. In comparison, the report finds thatOEMs
will spend $53.1 billion on semiconductors used to produce computers, up only 1.2 percent from $52.5 billion in 2010. Thewireless semiconductor spending
TTI, Vishay Dale partner on resistor program
Global distributor TTI, Inc., FortWorth, Tex., has partnered with Vishay Intertechnology to create the Vishay Dale Resistors Classics Program. This new programrenews the promotion of classic resistor products for wirewound, filmand resistor network technologies used in the industrial infrastructure sector.
"The industrial segment continues to
design and develop long-life, high- reliability end products," stated Joel Smejkal, vice president of Vishay Dale Marketing. "The Vishay Dale resistor portfolio leads the industry in reliability and technical performance parameters like power rating, resistance range, and TCR and tolerance options. TTI's inventory of Vishay Dale leaded film, wirewound and resistor networks is positioned to support market demand."

OEMs will spendmore on ICs for wireless than PCs
segment consists of allOEMchip purchases for mobile devices such asmobile handsets, smart phones andmedia tablets aswell aswireless infrastructure gear such as routers and base stations. The computer segments includes notebook PCs, desktop PCs and servers, and excludes chip spending for computer peripherals such as hard disk drives and printers. "Led by Apple Inc.'s iPhone and iPad, demand
is booming for smart phones and tablet devices," statedWenlie Ye, analyst for semiconductor design and spending at IHS. "This is spurring a surge in sales of semiconductors used inwireless devices, including baseband chips, applications processors andmobilememory.With overall sales growth for PCs slowing, the balance of power in the semiconductor industry is shifting toward thewireless segment."
However, IHS iSuppli analysts don't expect
computer-related semiconductor purchasing to shrink significantly in the near future due to growth in notebook computers.
