MICRO! - Intelligent Sensors / MEMS

The trend towards increasingly smaller, multifunctional, self-organizing systems with interfaces for communication with the outside world is a fascinating challenge also for Saxony’s companies.

RENESAS ELECTRONICS CORPORATION, DRESDEN BRANCH

In autumn 2018, the Japanese semiconductor group Renesas Electronics Corporation took acquired the Zentrum Mikroelektronik Dresden AG (ZMDI). Steeped in tradition, the company is a leading global developer of energy-efficient analog and mixed signal semiconductor solutions for the automotive, medical, and consumer goods markets as well as for industrial automation. One of the company’s exemplary products is an intelligent microchip which is able to save energy by systematically monitoring the charging and/or discharging process of lithium-ion batteries; thus, also extending the batteries’ life cycle.
