The STMicroelectronics pressure sensor LPS25H was the most popular product in January. This component was by far the leader over other products with more than five times as many searches as the second-place product. This means that this product has both a strong market profile and the correct marketing strategy.

Texas Instruments’ analog to digital converter (ADC): adc12j4000 occupied second place, and since 2014 it has been a key product of interest in the market. Although its amount of exposure has not increased, it continued to have a stable presence in the market. This means that the use of this product has been highly praised.

This was the first time that the third place product, pqi connect 210, made an appearance. It is a multifunction connector that is entirely manufactured by the Taiwanese company PQI, and it can provide various additional connection features for mobile devices.

The other products, such as TSMC’s 16nm technology and MediaTek’s 802.11ac chip, MT7615, are both products that currently have a considerably large number of searches on the Internet.

In addition, Taiwanese MCU provider Holtek’s HT24LC02 is another product, which appeared for the first time. It is a 24K-bit serial read/write nonvolatile memory device.
