Sensirion has made its low-power SFA40 formaldehyde sensor globally available. The electrochemical device combines calibrated I²C output, 80µA typical average current consumption, and a specified operating lifetime exceeding six years.
-
Melexis has started local Chinese IC production with MLX91241 sensor. The 250kHz Hall device targets traction inverters and power-conversion systems.
-
Arbe has launched Alerion for high-resolution counter-UAS radar detection systems. The solid-state platform targets small, low-signature drones and transfers automotive imaging-radar technology into fixed, mobile, and portable security architectures.
-
ST has launched VD56GA for lower-cost automotive infrared cabin sensing. The 1.1MP device combines higher infrared sensitivity, integrated image processing, and compact packaging for volume vehicle programmes.
-
Singular Photonics has launched Litavis, a programmable multimodal SPAD sensor. The Edinburgh-developed device combines photon counting, timing, histogramming, and statistics on-chip while reducing external processing requirements.
-
Siemens Healthineers has opened a photon-counting detector fab in Germany. The €100m Forchheim facility adds European CdTe crystal growth, wafer processing, and sensor production as the company’s Japanese operation approaches capacity.
