Unitrode

Unitrode Corporation, acquired by Texas Instruments in 1999, was a leading manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal ICs with particular strength in power management. Its legacy portfolio includes PWM controllers for switch-mode power supplies, battery management ICs, hot-swap controllers, motor control ICs, and data acquisition converters. Unitrode innovations include early high-speed SLD-series PWM controllers and UC-series regulator ICs that became industry benchmarks for power supply design. While no longer operating as a separate company, Unitrode-designed products continue to be supported through TI and remain widely used in industrial power systems, telecom rectifiers, and server power supplies. icboms can source Unitrode-compatible power management ICs from Shenzhen.
