SANTA CLARA, CA (May 5–7, 2026) – At this year's Sensors Converge, held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, iSentek showcased our advanced portfolio of magnetic and current sensing ICs to the global design engineering community. As North America's premier event for sensing, processing, and edge computing, Sensors Converge provided the ideal environment to demonstrate how our architectures are driving the future of intelligent, energy-efficient systems.
Live Hardware Benchmarking: Nanopower TMR Switch
For battery-constrained Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) applications, minimizing current consumption while maintaining high magnetic field resolution is a primary architectural constraint. Our exhibition centered on a live, side-by-side hardware evaluation comparing our new nanopower Tunnel Magnetoresistance (TMR) switch against existing competitor ICs.
The empirical data recorded during the demonstration verified the iSentek architecture as the lowest current consumption TMR switch globally available for CGM use cases.
Demonstration Metrics & System Advantages:
Ultra-Low Current Consumption: Recorded the lowest total current consumption in its class, significantly reducing power dissipation compared to legacy competitor components.
Superior Magnetic Sensitivity: Maintained precise switching thresholds at extremely low magnetic flux densities, enabling engineers to utilize smaller, lower-cost target magnets or increase mechanical air gaps.
System Impact: Directly extends battery lifecycles and ensures robust, non-contact state detection for critical medical device architectures.
Core Sensor Portfolio Showcase
Alongside the TMR hardware benchmarking, iSentek presented its core sensing portfolio, engineered for the rigorous specifications of modern IoT, consumer, and automotive designs:
TMR Position & State Sensors (IST8505x / IST8509x Series): High-sensitivity, non-contact detection solutions optimized for ultra-low power operation in battery-powered devices.
Integrated Current Sensors: Galvanically isolated Hall-effect and high-sensitivity leakage ICs delivering sub-milliampere fault detection and microsecond step response times for high-density power electronics.
3D Magnetometers & Hall-Effect Sensors: Monolithic and planarized 3-axis architectures featuring built-in precision temperature compensation, ultra-low hysteresis, and an on-chip absolute 360-degree angle calculation engine.
