Adam Technologies, Inc.

Kionix, Inc., a subsidiary of the ROHM Group (headquartered in Ithaca, NY), developed the 3-axis accelerometer "KX126", which is ideal for pedometer functions on smartphones and wearable devices.

Linear Technology Corporation, a subsidiary of Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), introduced the LT8609S, a 2A (3A peak), 42V input synchronous step-down switching regulator. Its unique Silent Switcher® 2 architecture utilizes two internal input capacitors and internal BST and INTVCC capacitors to minimize thermal loop area. The LT8609S is designed to significantly reduce EMI/EMC emissions due to the extremely well-controlled switching edges, with an internal ground plane and copper posts instead of bond wires.
