CODECs are devices that transform a signal or a data stream. CODECs are often used in applications such as video conferencing and streaming, and are often used primarily in the radio and television industry. Data compression can improve transmission speed and reduce storage space.
Interface ICs provide complete electronic interface circuit functions on a single chip, delivering low-cost reliability for information sharing between devices. Because of their ability to control and manage communications between different electronic systems, interface ICs are used in biometrics, electric vehicles, telecommunications, power inverters, process control systems, medical technology, navigation systems, and gaming controllers.
