Melexis
Melexis design and manufacture advanced integrated semiconductors, sensor ICs and programmable sensor IC systems with unique customisation and configuration capabilities to meet the stringent needs of the automotive industry. Melexis specialise in electronic control applications that require sensors, signal conditioning, signal processing, actuation and programmability.
With QS9000 and VDA6.1 certification, Melexis bring innovation with the highest levels of quality to its customers via facilities in Europe, USA and the Far East. Melexis focus on the design and manufacture of products for the automotive sector, for which it offers a multitude of sensor ICs, ASSPs ( Application Specific Standard Product ) and ASICs, creating many "world first" products across a spectrum of applications requiring Hall effect, pressure and IR sensor technology.

Melexis is a leading manufacturer of fully-protected microcontrollers with sensor compatible interfaces and contact-less identification ICs that are used in vehicle key identification systems to control secure access and as identifiers for valuable inventory.

Sensing Across the Spectrum
The Melexis range of hall effect, pressure and IR Sensor ICs, all with either analogue or digital outputs and optional on-board microcontrollers are used for position, movement, pressure and acceleration detection. They have developed the world's first programmable sensor IC family that minimises discrete components and associated assembly costs, substantially simplifies the speed and complexity of design and increases reliability through high-level integration. Their micro-machining capabilities are used on an increasing number of sensor products including accelerometers, gyros and IR.
