Abov Semiconductor

Abov Semiconductor makes microcontrollers, small chips that act as the brain inside everyday home appliances and industrial electronics, along with touch and ambient-light sensors and power semiconductors.

Its products are used across a wide range of consumer and industrial devices, with its core microcontroller line serving appliance makers in South Korea, China, Japan, and more recently Europe and India. Listed on KOSDAQ, Korea's tech-focused stock exchange, the company's primary business is eight-bit and thirty-two-bit microcontrollers for consumer electronics, and it develops its own analog circuit designs in-house rather than relying on third-party design libraries.
