designs,
develops,
manufactures
and
markets
a
wide
variety
of
programmable
mixed-signal
integrated
circuits
and
nonvolatile
memory
products
used
in
networking,
computing,
communication,
consumer
and
industrial
applications.
By
virtue
of
their
non-volatility,
Micro's
devices
retain
their
information
content
when
power
is
lost
or
turned
off.
Reprogramming
is
accomplished
by
"writing"
over
the
old
data
without
a
need
for
first
"erasing"
the
old
data.
Micro's
devices
can
be
reprogrammed
bit
by
bit
or
in
larger
groups
of
bits,
called
bytes,
words
and
pages,
without
being
removed
from
the
system,
and
operate
from
the
same
power
source
used
in
micro
controller
and
microprocessor-based
systems,
or
even
lower
voltages
common
in
hand-held
and
portable
products.
