These cover semiconductor components for electrical drives in industrial applications, such as for machines and locomotives, and energy generation applications like solar and wind power plants. The new Power Management & Multimarket (PMM) Division will concentrate on businesses in the field of energy-efficient power supplies and high frequency applications. These are mainly used in consumer goods such as television sets, games consoles, PCs, mobile devices and in computer servers.
