With the technology leap again and again and improve the quality of life, the individual needs of travel is increasingly concerned about the automotive replacement market is more towards the dazzling.
Maxim (Maxim Integrated Products) announced that it has completed the acquisition of SensorDynamics. In the automotive and high-end market solutions that turn the sensor on a qualitative leap.
SensorDynamics MEMS sensor technology has many patents. For the rapid growth of MEMS sensors and their associated low-power interface and wireless connectivity markets, the company has invested a total of 800 person-years for program development. Maxim believes the acquisition will accelerate in the automotive and high-end consumer market share expansion.
As new applications continue to expand the sensor, MEMS-based sensors market showing rapid growth. According to market research firm HIS iSuppli predicted in 2011 based on MEMS sensor market will total $ 7.7 billion, which SensorDynamics gyro inertial sensor technology will account for about $ 900 million in market share. IHS iSuppli predicts that the market in 2011 to 2014 within three years, compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach 14%. In the long run, Maxim will be involved in some of the MEMS sensor, expanding its market share.
Maxim in the analog integrated with a recognized leader in the field, this acquisition will help the many types of sensors and integration of Maxim's analog technology to further enhance the Maxim's integration strategy. Sensors, analog circuits with low power integration of wireless connectivity solutions to provide users with better performance, smaller program size, lower system cost, end to end mixed-signal solutions.
In the short term, this acquisition makes SensorDynamics to continue to develop its sensor and MEMS technology research and development strengths, and with Maxim huge production, distribution and sales resources to quickly occupy the inertial sensors, wireless and sensor interface, a leading market position.

MEMS comment
MEMS are micro electromechanical systems (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) abbreviation. It is available in volume production, the set of micro-institutions, micro-sensors, micro actuators and signal processing and control circuit, until the interface, communication and power is one of the micro-devices or systems. MEMS is a micro-processing technology with semiconductor integrated circuits and ultra-precision machining technology and developed the current processing technology has been widely used in MEMS microfluidic chips and synthetic biology and other fields, so the biochemistry laboratory chip technology integration process.
