Our focus is on applied research and development in electronics. In the fields of microelectronics, embedded systems, sensors, actuators, and electronics development, we push the boundaries for our customers in terms of size, power consumption, or speed—continuously advancing to the global forefront—Tiny to the Top.
We develop application-specific CMOS circuits (ASIC) with analog and digital functions. Our focus is on sensor front-end circuits and systems with low power consumption.
We are excited to assist you in the development of sensor systems, from feasibility studies and prototype development to qualification and product development.
From Ultra Low-Power to Real-Time Data Processing, AI, and IoT: We implement intelligent microcontroller and FPGA solutions, from efficient end devices to powerful multi-processor systems.
Do you have innovative ideas and need assistance in implementing them with cutting-edge computer technology? Are you interested in low latency or high data throughput?
Our team consists of experienced experts and young professionals straight out of university. Each project is guided by both a junior and a senior team member. This way, our clients benefit from our extensive experience as well as the latest knowledge from academic institutions.
