Swindon is a provider of custom integrated circuits (ICs), including Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) ICs, for the industrial, industrial IoT (IIoT) and automotive sectors. Its custom IC sensor solutions measure pressure, temperature, position, acceleration and proximity, among others. Swindon’s focus at this year’s Embedded World is the industrial sector with an emphasis on smart sensors and the IIoT.
Swindon’s sensor interface Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) for the connected world help engineers to design intelligent and efficient factory automation and control systems that increase productivity, extend system life and save energy.

Smart sensors
Smart sensors function by sensing, measuring, processing and interpreting, and are the interface between the physical and the digital world in today’s increasingly automated arena. Swindon specialises in incorporating these functions into a mixed-signal Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) or a System in Package (SiP) solution which provides many advantages and performance enhancements for the smart sensor over traditional discrete component-level solutions.
ASICs and SiPs offer many advantages
Enhancing a product with a customer-specific IC brings many advantages, including greater functionality, smaller size and lower overall cost. A custom IC solution will also reduce a user’s inventory and bill of materials, protecting the originator’s intellectual property and provide longevity of their product life through non-obsolescence assurances. This is in sharp contrast to a solution manufactured using mainly standard components that are often made obsolete, once the part is no longer sold in high enough volume by the supplier.
End-to-end solutions
Remarking on the value of the event, Richard Mount, Swindon’s Sales and Marketing Director, said, “We are excited to be taking part in the digital event his year. Standout features of Embedded World have always been the quality of the visitors and the wide range of projects that they wish to discuss with exhibitors.”
Mount adds, “We look forward to engaging with visitors to learn about their needs and to demonstrate how, as an end-to-end custom IC solutions company, our close partnership and collaboration with customers throughout the entire design and production process sets us apart from other suppliers.”
