Sensor and analog IC company ams AG has acquired NXP’s advanced
CMOS sensor business. The Austrian company ams aims to expand its
environmental sensor portfolio.
The
acquisition adds advanced monolithic and integrated CMOS sensors to
ams’ sensor lineup, which already includes a variety of light management
chips. The NXP chip business includes a single sensor to measure
relative humidity, pressure and temperature.
“The
acquisition…is a synergistic addition to our chemical sensor
capabilities and smart lighting solutions,” Thomas Riener, executive
vice president of marketing and strategy, said in a release.
Ams
expects its new business to influence the smartphone, wearables, smart
homes, industrial, medical and automotive markets. NXP’s low powered
sensors can combine with ams analog componentry to develop a range of
air quality, building automation, and volatile organic compound sensors
that can be networked with sensor fusion software and protocols.The deal
also includes more than 100 patents.
NXP is set
to merge with Freescale Semiconductor in November 2015, although NXP and
Freescale don’t have much overlap in their sensor businesses. Terms of
the deal were not released, and NXP did not return requests for comment.
This
is not the first sensor business ams has acquired. The company bought
acam-messelectronic, a vendor of highly accurate time-based measurement
technology and related sensor solutions, in 2014.
