ICsense possesses extensive expertise in both wireless and wired communication protocols, tailored to the specific requirements of the ASICs we develop. Our wireless capabilities focus on inductive links, RFID, and NFC protocols, optimized for power and data transfer in line with our customers’ application needs. This includes proprietary NFC adaptations designed for deep tissue power and data transmission in medical implant applications. We also have strong proficiency in high-frequency RFID tag protocols.
On the wired side, our expertise spans standard on-chip communication protocols such as SPI, I²C, I3C, JTAG, LVDS and UART, as well as specialized protocols for automotive and industrial markets, including CAN (HS-CAN, SW-CAN), SENT, LIN, RS485, OWI, PSI5, among others, optimized for high reliability, and EMC compliance.
ICsense is a leading provider of custom ASIC solutions with specialized expertise in wireless power and data transfer technologies for medical implants and wearable devices. Our innovations enable efficient battery charging for active implants and even battery-free operation for passive implants—reducing the need for surgical interventions and enhancing patient comfort.
Our solutions are based on electromagnetic coupling between coils, operating across a wide frequency spectrum (from kHz to MHz), and supporting low to moderate data rates. ICsense has developed, proprietary inductive links, RFID-based protocols (13.56 MHz), customized NFC (Near Field Communication) protocols. These protocols are engineered for ultra-low power consumption and optimized for maximum energy transfer efficiency. A standout example is our adaptation of the ISO15693 NFC protocol, which enables reliable power delivery to implants located several centimeters deep within the body. With over 20 years of experience and ISO 13485 certification, ICsense ensures high-performance, safe, and reliable solutions for medical device manufacturers worldwide.
ICsense designs and develops custom automotive ASICs with integrated on-chip transceivers and sensor interfaces, enabling compact, reliable, and standards-compliant solutions for next-generation vehicle electronics. Our ASICs incorporate multiple automotive PHY transceivers (se below). These are complemented by active voltage sampling for precise diagnostics and system monitoring. ICsense ASICs are built on high-voltage BCD and SOI technologies, supporting voltages up to 200 V, and are fully compliant with EMC and ISO pulse standards such as ISO 16750-2 and ISO 7637-2.
With deep expertise in automotive-grade mixed-signal ASIC design, ICsense delivers robust, space-efficient, and highly reliable solutions that meet the stringent requirements of the automotive industry.
At ICsense, we specialize in the development of custom ASICs that power next-generation RFID solutions, with deep expertise in the UHF EPC Gen-2 standard. Our engineering capabilities span the full spectrum—from initial feasibility studies and system architecture to silicon-proven designs ready for mass production.
RFID EPC Gen-2 systems demand robust analog front-ends, ultra-low power consumption, and precise timing control. ICsense brings all these elements together through tailored mixed-signal ASICs that meet stringent performance and reliability requirements. Whether it’s optimizing RF sensitivity, integrating secure memory blocks, or ensuring compliance with global standards, our designs are built to deliver.
Our multidisciplinary team combines analog, digital, and RF design expertise with a strong understanding of the application domain. This enables us to co-develop with our customers, ensuring that each ASIC is not only technically sound but also aligned with business goals and manufacturing constraints.
