IC manufacturers with a name starting with 'E'

Click on the first letter of the IC manufacturer you're looking for:
0..9	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M	N	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U	V	W	X	Y	Z

Notes:

Beware that a company may be listed under it's abbreviation ('IBM') but also under it's full name ('International Business Machines') so when you want to make sure, check both places.
These listings usually cover about 99.9% of all chip manufacturers so it will be very appreciated by me and currently about 250,000 of your colleagues (monthly) all over the world when you would email me about anything that should be changed or added.
For foundries see also the foundry and chip making pages.

ECG

(Used to be part of Sylvania. Owned by Philips, also called Philips ECG. 20010119 bought by NTE.)

www.nteinc.com/	New owner
www.ecgproducts.com/	Has cross reference database for parts from others

Since about 1966 Philips ECG has led the industry in supplying universal replacement semiconductors and relays to commercial, industrial OEM/MRO, computer, entertainment and communications businesses. With ISO-9001 registration, ECG offers the broadest line of replacement devices. All components meet or exceed OEM specifications. Our master replacement semiconductor guide cross references over 300,000 industry part numbers. Our relay guide crosses more than 64,000 industry numbers covering of 271 different brands. Available worldwide, the ECG product line also includes environmentally friendly chemicals, digital multimeters, surge protectors, flyback transformers, flameproof resistors, antenna rotators and rechargeable batteries.

Remarks from users:

ECG was a part of Sylvania, some years back, before Philips bought them. They were a manufacturer of vacuum tubes, so it seems natural that they would transition into solid state devices as they became more popular. When I worked in field service for an international medical imaging company, we used ECG replacements quite a bit.

Philips ECG is a direct competitor to the RCA SK series of replacement semiconductors.
