ADC and DAC ICs with 46% market share
Databeans claims in a newly issued market research report
titled "2010 Data Converters," that Analog Devices
leads the worldwide data converter market with a 46 percent
share. Databeans also says that Analog Devices continues

"In an increasingly digital world the need for analog
technology - especially data converters - becomes even more
important," said Dick Meaney, vice president, Converter
Group, Analog Devices. "More digital technology places
new demands on and for signal conversion technology. It
is the data converters that manage this signal conversion
and in many instances defines the performance of today's
digital devices. ADI has grown its global data converter
market share over the last decade to 46 percent, which is
greater than the next eight competitors combined, by continuing
to invest aggressively to provide customers with performance
leading data converter technology and signal processing
functionality".
