Crocus Technology, a leading developer of magnetically enhanced semiconductor technologies and TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader, today announce that Crocus’ CTSX magnetic field sensor family has completed qualification. The CTSX magnetic sensor product family includes CTSX100, 200 and 300 series. They are based on Crocus’ proprietary Magnetic Logic Unit™ (MLU) technology and are ready for shipping to selected customers.
TowerJazz, Crocus’ strategic manufacturing partner, qualified the sensor products on its 130nm CMOS process. TowerJazz will fabricate the CTSX product family and offer the new highly-advanced developed sensors to its customers.
Crocus developed the CTSX magnetic sensors to respond to market demand for high sensitivity and low-cost solutions in multiple applications.
“The magnetic sensor market is expected to surpass USD 2 billion by 2015. Crocus’ introduction of the CTSX magnetic sensor product family targeting a wide range of market segments is a further example of the strength and far-reaching capabilities of our MLU technology that spans security, embedded memory applications and now sensors,” said LJ. Ristic, VP and general manager of the Sensor Business Unit at Crocus Technology. “No other MRAM technology can address multiple markets the way the Crocus’ MLU technology does.”
