About Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage
Toshiba Electronic Devices and Storage Corporation is the semiconductor and storage subsidiary of Toshiba Corporation. It sells power semiconductors such as MOSFETs and IGBTs, which switch large currents efficiently, plus diodes, isolators, motor driver chips, microcontrollers, linear image sensors and hard disk storage products. It focuses on power and analog parts rather than leading-edge processors. The 1875 founding date in this record belongs to the Toshiba group, not this subsidiary. Toshiba's flash memory business was separated earlier and is now Kioxia.
Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage was founded in 1875 and is based in Tokyo, Japan. It is listed under Custom Silicon, ASICs, Memory & Storage.

What Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage works on
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.
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.
Memory & Storage
Memory and storage hold the data that processors work on. Memory such as DRAM is fast and loses its contents when power is removed. Storage such as flash (NAND) is slower, cheaper per bit and keeps data without power.
