Diodes are driving the discrete-semiconductor industry, thanks to the current- and power-delivery requirements of high-speed interfaces, such as USB 3.0 and HDMI. IGBTs also continue to increase in popularity, according to figures from IC Insights, which predicts that the discrete-semiconductor market will grow 8% this year to reach $24 billion as these devices play key roles in applications ranging from portable devices to power-distribution equipment.
