IC manufacturers with a name starting with 'P'
Notes:
- Beware that a company may be listed under it's abbreviation ('IBM') but also
under it's full name ('International Business Machines') so when you want
to make sure, check both places.
- These listings should cover about 99% of all chip manufacturers by now,
so it will be very appreciated by me and 100,000's of your colleagues all
over the world when you would email me about anything that should
be changed or added.

meta page.

Product:
| The Paralan SCSI expander ASIC (PAR5780) provides a conversion |
from single-ended SCSI to differential SCSI and vice versa, with isolation between two ports. |
- It may also be used in a single-ended-to-single-ended mode
where the intent is to act as a switch or as a regenerator of the SCSI input
on one side to the other side.
- The Expander ASIC does not consume a SCSI address or node,
making it completely transparent in a SCSI system.
Comment:
- We make our own SCSI chip, which we use in all our products, and we also sell this chip.
- The PAR5780 allows us to build single to differential SCSI Converters,
SCSI Regenerators, SCSI Extenders.

- Leading LED Manufacture
- Light Emitting Diodes are generally classified as infrared LEDs or visible
LEDs depending on the wavelength of the light they emit.
- The abstract structure of an LED contains Epoxy resin, LED chip, LED leads,
Gold bonding wire. LED chip has two electrodes; one is on the suface of the
P layer and the other on that of the N layer. The LED lead contains two sections,
with a LED chip on one side and a gold wire connected to the other side. Voltage
will be able to be applied to P/N junction of LED chip. When a voltage is
applied to the junction, a current flows through the P-N junction and light
is emitted from the LED chip.
