Sponsor with the world's largest charity for orphans
A mixed-mode integrated circuit is an integrated circuit with both digital and analog electronics integrated on the same chip (silicon die).

The digital and analog parts are usually separated and placed in distinct regions on the die, often using different barriers against noise leakage.

Typical usage: radio chips, sound chips.
