About Littelfuse
Littelfuse is best known for circuit protection, chiefly fuses that cut power when current becomes unsafe. It also sells switches, sensors, power semiconductors and, through its Zilog subsidiary, microcontrollers. Its products are supporting components in automotive, industrial and electronics equipment rather than compute processors. Edward V. Sundt founded it in 1927, and it is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The company is listed on Nasdaq and has expanded through acquisitions including Hamlin in 2013 and IXYS in 2017.
Littelfuse was founded in 1927 and is based in Chicago, IL, United States. It is listed under ASICs, Custom Silicon. Its shares trade as LFUS on NASDAQ.

What Littelfuse works on
ASICs
An ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit, is a chip designed to do one job or a narrow set of jobs. Its circuits are fixed when the chip is made. A CPU can run any program; an ASIC does what it was designed for and nothing else.
Custom Silicon
Custom silicon means a company designs its own chips for its own products or data centers instead of buying standard parts. The chip is made by a foundry such as TSMC, but the design belongs to the customer.
