About Vishay Intertechnology
Vishay Intertechnology makes discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components. Discrete parts are single-function devices such as diodes, rectifiers and MOSFETs, which are power switching transistors, and passives include resistors, capacitors and inductors. These parts sit around processors and power circuits in cars, industrial gear and computers rather than performing computation themselves. Felix Zandman founded the company in 1962, and it is headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Vishay is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and has grown largely through acquisitions since 1985.
Vishay Intertechnology was founded in 1962 and is based in Malvern, PA, United States. It is listed under ASICs, Custom Silicon. Its shares trade as VSH on NYSE.

What Vishay Intertechnology 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.
