austriamicrosystems announces new low-power high-resolution magnetic rotary encoder IC for battery powered applications
Housed in a small 4x4 mm QFN package, the low-power encoder is the smallest device in its class. Depending on the readout rate, the current consumption is reduced to µA-levels, e.g. 50µA average at 10 measurements per second – the lowest in the industry.
austriamicrosystems reports revenues and earnings for fiscal year 2009
austriamicrosystems was impacted by the global economic crisis and the resulting semiconductor industry downturn in the fiscal year 2009. Full year revenues decreased by 26% to EUR 137.2 million and the operating result was a loss of EUR -18.6 million. In the fourth quarter 2009, austriamicrosystems recorded a significant improvement in orders and returned to profitability with revenues of EUR 43.9 million, up 11% quarter-on-quarter. Total backlo...
austriamicrosystems - Hall-sensor IC based on contactless sensing for 360° navigation in human-machine interfaces
austriamicrosystems announced the AS5013, a contactless magnetic encoder IC that monitors the displacement of a magnet incorporated in a knob relative to its center position and provides x and y position information via an I²C interface. The AS5013 Hall-sensor IC is used in the EasyPoint module, which consists of a mechanical stack incorporating a navigation knob, a magnet and the AS5013 magnetic encoder IC. Its simple construction and conta...
