austriamicrosystems and Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (IIS) have announced a cooperation agreement, where both members plan to develop a new generation of magnetic motion sensing integrated circuits (IC), which will be based on Fraunhofer’s patented HallinOne magnetic sensor technology.
During this cooperation program, austriamicrosystems and Fraunhofer IIS will develop a family of magnetic encoder products specifically targeted for applications within the industrial, medical and automotive markets. austriamicrosystems will offer these products as a part of its comprehensive magnetic encoder IC portfolio.
The core of this new magnetic encoder product family is Fraunhofer’s proprietary HallinOne sensor technology. This sensor technology allows measuring of magnetic fields in horizontal and vertical dimensions, providing magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at any measured point. The HallinOne sensor can be implemented in a standard CMOS process, and can be seamlessly integrated with signal processing on a single die.
