xEV, ADAS and industrial automation drive the need for cutting-edge ASICs

By 2030 over 30% of the cars sold will be electric, leading to three times more sensors and the need for more intelligent battery and current management. In addition, more cars will have some level of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), requiring more sensors, such as solid-state LIDAR. Both disruptive trends drive the need for innovative ASICs. ICsense […]

ICsense and innovative startups: the perfect match

The story of Sapiens and deep brain stimulation Sapiens Steering Brain Stimulation (Eindhoven, NL) is founded in 2011 as a spin-out of Philips Research and got integrated into Medtronic in 2014.
