Tronics Expands its Business Model to Mobile and Wearable Technologies

DALLAS, TX: Tronics Microsystems, manufacturer of innovative nano and microsystems, expands its business model to mobile and wearable applications via licensing its unique Magelan and M&NEMS technologies.

The products manufactured on these breakthrough platforms offer key differentiators, from inertial sensors enhancement to the combination of all measurement types on a single chip, paving the way for new fields of application, in particular for the mobile and wearable devices market.

Tronics continues to demonstrate its commitment to make innovation a reality by providing advanced solutions to the industry and offering a cost- and power-efficient response to the increasing miniaturization of electronic devices and the proliferation of wearable electronics. Available technologies and products include:

•  Magelan process technology platform: state of the art capacitive technology for 6 axis monolithic chips, designed for miniaturized high performance inertial sensors (accelerometers and gyros), with a proven track record in high volume applications
• M&NEMS process technology platform (in close collaboration with CEA-Leti): breakthrough piezoresistive nanowire technology combining up to 10 axis (accelerometers, gyros, magnetometers, pressure sensors and over time, microphones). The inertial 6 axis chip is currently the smallest combo sensor of the industry on a single die (less than 4mm²): it exhibits reduced size and cost, low power consumption, as well as an improved ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit).
