Elmos Semi backs ARM for automotive
The deal continues the partnership between ARM and Dortmund-based Elmos for the next five years for ADAS safety systems, autonomous driving, dynamic lighting and thermal management.
“Our long term collaboration with ARM gives us access to industry leading IP, such as the Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33, that is ideally suited to sensor and control applications in the modern vehicle architecture,” said Dr. Jan Dienstuhl, CSO at Elmos. “The Arm Cortex-M family has a rich feature set, comprehensive tools and a robust development ecosystem. This improves the functionality and accelerates the time to market for our next generation products.”
“Vehicle architectures are evolving rapidly as OEMs and Tier1s look to optimize their supply chains, control costs, increase processing capability and maximize the reuse of software throughout the vehicle,” said Chet Babla, vice president, Automotive Line of Business at ARM. “Through this long-term partnership, Elmos can access the proven foundations of ARM MCU technology to underpin their next-generation devices and execute quickly on an innovative roadmap of products.”
Elmos is the leading developer of chips for ultrasonic distance measurement, ambient light and intuitive human interfaces. It saw record sales of €80.8m in the third quarter of 2021, almost double that of Q3 2020, and anticipates full-year sales of €320m ± €5m in 2021.
“We were able to continue our solid business development in the third quarter and performed well in an ongoing challenging market environment. Record sales of €80.8m and an EBIT margin of 16.8 percent are both encouraging figures,” said Dr. Arne Schneider, CEO of Elmos Semiconductor. “The global wafer capacities remain tight, which is why we expect allocation to continue in 2022. This of course has an influence on our growth expectations for next year.”
