White Goods

NEC Electronics is one of the leading suppliers of electronic components to white goods manufacturers. Because of the high voltages involved in white goods appliances protection against voltage spikes is of paramount importance. Electronic components must continue to function properly when exposed to high voltage spikes to ensure that high power motors continue to operate within safety parameters.

NEC Electronics' microcontrollers deliver excellent immunity to voltage spikes, which is why many leading white goods manufacturers have developed successful products in partnership with us.
