MUSIK – merging microelectronics and micromechanics in design Objectives IMMS investigated and modelled MEMS characteristics to develop basic blocks as the depicted BAW resonater for the design of complex functional groups. Photograph: IMMS. By 2020 it is expected that mobile data traffic will be six times that of 2015. The prediction is a rise internationally that reaches 24 exabytes – 24 times 1018 bytes – per month.1 New radio bands with higher frequencies are already being prepared as one means of meeting the huge challenges. More bands…

Photograph: IMMS. For today's increasingly complex machinery and equipment to be operated safely with the highest possible efficiency in their use of resources and energy, it is essential that the state of each device and process be monitored at many points simultaneously with high speed and complete accuracy. The nearer to the process is any sensor…
“The Erfurt branch of IMMS is involved in finding methods by which models can be efficiently simulated. Not only the excellent collaboration but also the publication success bring me much pleasure.”
“IMMS has designed the digital components of the hardware to be used in our new digital ultrasonic testing device. The signal processing performance achieved is largely based on FPGA technology, a field in which IMMS has excellent references. Our joint work with IMMS went off perfectly.”
“To enable the signals from all 800 sensors to be received simultaneously without interruption, we needed analogue-digital ASICs to operate on the tiniest of power. The challenge, which was immense and hitherto unknown in any such context, was met by the IMMS staff with their ASIC development skills.”
”For many years, IMMS has been supporting us in the development and refinement of our ICs, among them those for LIN-based regulation of RGB LEDs. It is our intention to collaborate again with the Institute in the future, continuing to rely on its skills.“
“We have worked together with IMMS to develop for a Tier 1 automotive manufacturer who is one of our most imporant customers a completely new feature which will be integrated into a new sensor ASIC. When the complete system on chip was evaluated, the IP was confirmed to be operating perfectly.”
“IMMS delivered a vital contribution to our goal of restoring the sight of visually impaired people. The IMMS developed an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) used in our intraocular implant which we are using in our most recent systems as well.”
