About

We provide custom sensor interface ASICs for demanding factory automation applications, enabling precise, reliable and real-time sensing. Our solutions support a wide range of use cases including optical proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors, light curtains, optical encoders, pressure and flow sensing supporting industrial communication interfaces such as IO-Link.

By integrating analog front-end, signal processing and communication functions into a single ASIC, we reduce system complexity, improve performance and enable compact designs. Our expertise in low-noise signal acquisition and high dynamic range ensures accurate sensing even in harsh industrial environments.

With a structured development flow and turn-key approach, we accelerate time-to-market while ensuring robustness, EMC compliance and long-term availability.

We enable advanced building control systems with custom sensor interface ASICs designed for energy efficiency, reliability and seamless system integration. Our solutions support key applications such as HVAC control, smoke detection, flow sensing and KNX-based building control.

By integrating sensing, control and communication into a single optimized IC, we reduce component count, lower system cost and improve power efficiency. Our ASICs enable accurate monitoring and control of environmental parameters, contributing to smart and energy-efficient buildings.

Designed for long lifetimes and robust operation, our solutions meet industrial requirements including extended temperature ranges, high voltage capability and EMC robustness. Our turn-key development model ensures smooth project execution from concept to high-volume production.

We deliver custom sensor interface ASICs for high-precision medical sensing applications, enabling compact, reliable and power-efficient systems. Our solutions address laboratory diagnostics, medical grade wearables, implants as well as stationary medical equipment.

Leveraging our expertise in low-noise analog front-end design, high-resolution signal conversion and integrated signal processing, we enable accurate measurement of biological and physical parameters as well as physical characteristics, like flow or pressure. Our ASICs support a wide range of sensing principles including optical, capacitive and resistive sensing.

Our designs focus on minimizing power consumption and size while ensuring performance and reliability. With a turn-key development approach and long-term supply support, we help customers bring advanced medical sensing solutions to market with confidence.

We offer a structured and proven development flow for sensor interface ASICs, guiding projects from initial concept to high-volume production. Our approach starts with the joint definition of system requirements and device specifications, ensuring full alignment with customer needs and application targets.

Following specification approval, we perform design, layout and verification, supported by regular design reviews. After tape-out, we handle manufacturing, assembly and test development, ensuring a smooth transition into silicon realization.

Engineering samples are provided early for evaluation, followed by tested samples and qualification units. This allows customers to validate performance and system integration step by step. The process concludes with qualified product release and long-term supply.

Our turn-key model ensures transparency, risk reduction and accelerated time-to-market through clearly defined milestones, close collaboration and full lifecycle support.
