Affected by the crisis in Japan slowed down the pace of semiconductor manufacturers cut production

According to "Japanese Economic News" recently reported that continued strong global economic crisis has cut the Japanese semiconductor manufacturers have recently started to slow down the pace of cuts.

Reported to Renesas Technologys semiconductor giants, represented by the recent rate cut began to narrow. The semiconductor industry from January to March this year, the operating rate was as low as 40% or less, is expected during the period April-June operating rate can be increased to 50%. Major semiconductor giants are expected this summer, the average operating rate is expected to increase to 60% to 70%.

Japanese semiconductor giant, however, put into production in the profit and MAX3085EESA datasheet and loss line basically around 70-80%, that is, even if the average operating rate increase this summer to 60% to 70% still failed to reach can generate profits level, can only say that through the most difficult period.

It is reported recovery of Japans semiconductor industry driving demand for digital home appliances from China, the main market, in addition, automated highway toll collection system (ETC) of the market demand better.

The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) recently released the latest projections, the world semiconductor market this year, the total size (shipment value) of about 194.7 billion U.S. dollars, down about 22% over the previous year.
