SINGAPORE - Media OutReach
Newswire - 2 September 2024 - Ontech Group, a global leader in
electromagnetic field sensor technology, today announced a significant
breakthrough with the launch of a new family of 128-channel
Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), designed to significantly
enhance the technical capabilities and commercial benefits of its
revolutionary Controlled Electromagnetic Field (CEMF) sensor.
Designed to meet market demands in growth industries such as health
technology, wearable devices, and personal computing, the new ASICs
deliver unprecedented precision and flexibility. Featuring enhanced
resolution, reliability, and accuracy, the new ASICs also provide a
larger sensing area per chip and a smaller form to simplify integration.
These advancements enable CEMF sensors to offer up to double the
resolution and accuracy in a wider range of devices and applications,
when compared to the leading short-range sensor technologies in this
segment.
"The requests for new ways to overcome existing sensor
limitations was the key driver in developing this new family of
ASICs," said Dr. Juan Aponte, CTO and co-founder of
Ontech. "Our customers need to meet surging demand for
features like high-resolution and high precision 3D physicality sensing,
low power consumption and easier integration. We have transformed our
CEMF sensor technology to empower innovations that could redefine sectors
such as health technology and personal electronics."
Expanding Market Applications
Ontech's new 128-channel ASIC builds on CEMF's abilities to
simultaneously detect, track, map, and measure both external and internal
features. It significantly boosts the existing commercial benefits of
CEMF in a wide array of industries, including health technology, consumer
electronics, robotics, wearables, power tools and IoT/ IIoT.
Ontech has secured confidential collaborations with leading consumer,
industrial, and technology companies to use the new ASICs. These
partnerships pave the way for a leap forward in human-machine
interaction.
"We are excited to see how our customers will leverage these
chips to create innovative solutions that will shape the future of
human-machine interaction." said Martin Wikstroem, CEO and
co-founder of Ontech. "One customer is creating a novel
gesture-controlled personal device that demands spatial sensing in
high-definition at very close range, works in any light, through
obstructions, and complies with strict biometric privacy rules."
Specifications
The new 128-channel ASIC family builds on the high
standards set by Ontech's previous 32 channel ASIC. Improved capabilities
of the 128-channel family include a compact 1.5 mm2 form factor, HV-CMOS
technology with 0.13?m, voltage up to 3.3V, flexible scan sequences of up
to 32 steps, and an acquisition frequency of up to 2GHz. Additionally,
peripheral blocks such as LDOs, clocks, and references have been
integrated to minimise the PCB space required for customers to
incorporate the CEMF sensor, while the new ASIC core itself is designed
for a high degree of application-specific customisation.
