Melexis presents its latest quarterly innovations, including a new thermographic sensor for smart monitoring, a position sensor for industrial controllers, and an automotive LED driver for lighting, as well as the publication of Melexis' Robotics e-Guide and the completion of its China supply chain.
New Product Highlights Across Automotive and Smart Industry
Melexis’ recent product releases show its ability to serve the needs of today’s fastest-evolving markets, helping engineers to build more intelligent and functional designs. Here are some of the key highlights from this quarter:
- MLX90642 InfraRed (IR) Array: An advanced thermographic infrared sensor that facilitates temperature monitoring. This device captures detailed thermal data to enhance safety and performance across home cooking appliances, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), and industrial safety (including fire hazard detection). Its functionality is also well-suited for AI-driven machine vision tasks like smart building monitoring and gesture recognition.
- MLX90427 Triaxis® Rotary & Joystick Position Sensor: A state-of-the-art magnetic position sensor designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern vehicle controls, including infotainment systems and steer-by-wire technology. Leveraging Melexis’ proven Triaxis® technology, it offers four operating modes and ensures precise control and lasting reliability in safety-critical applications thanks to its highly accurate and contactless magnetic operation. It resists electromagnetic interference and features a 360-degree stray field immunity mode.
- MLX80142 Smart Six-Channel RGB-LED Controller: Building on the success of its predecessor, MeLiBu® 2.0 boasts control over 10,500 LEDs. This high LED count allows for the creation of sophisticated interior and exterior dynamic matrix panels, as well as more complex adaptive mood lighting and other distinctive LED styling cues. Thanks to the compact footprint of each driver, it can also be easily fitted into traditionally challenging assemblies, like vehicle headliners.
- Melexis Robotics e-Guide: Mastering Sensory Integration: This engaging resource provides a comprehensive look at the challenges and opportunities in creating high-performance robotic sensor systems, examining how engineers can decrease development time and increase scalability. The e-guide also offers an in-depth analysis of Melexis’ emerging robotic solutions like Tactaxis® for 3D tactile sensing and Arcminaxis® for high-precision angular measurement, as well as its wider portfolio of integrated circuit (IC) sensors and drivers, examining their influence on today’s and tomorrow’s robotic applications.
- Expansion of China Strategy: Locally Embedded Manufacturing and Logistics – Melexis has announced the latest update to its China strategy, strengthening its local presence with an expanded office, a dedicated logistics hub, and fully localized semiconductor manufacturing. Building on over 20 years in the region, the latest initiatives will support faster lead times and closer customer alignment, particularly in the fast-growing automotive, industrial, and robotics sectors, underscoring Melexis’ continued commitment to innovation, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
