Silicon Labs announced
that its Si1132 and Si114x ultraviolet (UV) index sensor family has received an
award in the “sensors” category at the EE Times and EDN 2015 UBM Canon ACE
Awards.
The ACE Awards program
recognizes the individuals and companies behind today’s most innovative
technologies and products.
The winners were announced at an awards ceremony held earlier this week at
the Santa Clara Convention Center
“Winning the prestigious UBM Canon ACE Award validates the breakthrough
innovation, versatility and value of our Si1132/4x UV sensors in biometrics
applications for wearables,” said Ross Sabolcik, vice president and general
manager of Silicon Labs’ Analog’s power and sensor products. “Silicon Labs has
won the ACE Award in the sensors category two years in a row, underscoring the
strength of our optical and environmental sensor portfolio for the IoT.”
As the industry’s first single-chip, digital UV index sensor IC solution
designed to monitor UV sun exposure, heart/pulse rate and blood oximetry,
Silicon Labs’ Si1132/4x sensor products provide efficient proximity/gesture
control for smartphone and wearables.
The Si1132 and Si114x sensor ICs are designed for activity-tracking wrist
and arm bands, smartwatches and smartphones.
Aside from enabling UV index sensing, the devices provide ambient light
and infrared (IR) proximity sensing capabilities for health and fitness
applications.
The Si1132/4x sensors meet the growing demand for UV sensing in
wearable/handset products with its integrated features that help protect people
from dangerous UV light exposure.
A panel of EE Times and EDN editors selected three finalists in each
category from the multiple entries, based on key criteria. A panel of
independent judges then selected the winners.
