Infineon, POLYN collaborate on advanced tyre monitoring products

Infineon Technologies and POLYN Technology have unveiled a new collaboration to produce the next generation of tyre monitoring products. As a result of the collaboration, Infineon will provide new generation TPMS sensors with tyre vibration signal detection, leveraging POLYN’s NFE for vibration data pre-processing at the sensor. The collaboration specifically targets the aftermarket and fleet segments, new data-as-a-service business models, and anticipates autonomous cars.

NASP NFE contains a neural network extracting vibration patterns for tyre and road condition analysis. It reduces the volume of data collected from TPMS accelerometers by a factor of 4000 at extremely low power consumption of only few microwatts. By integrating NASP NFE with Infineon’s TPMS SP49, POLYN says it offers a unique solution with high performance at the lowest available power and highest reliability.

“The combined Infineon and POLYN solution for tyre monitoring will be especially suited to the fleet market and to autonomous cars, delivering new possibilities for road condition and tyre wear control in an energy and cost-efficient way,” said Henry Hu of Infineon’s Automotive Division. “We welcome POLYN as part of Infineon’s global startup co-innovation program. Innovation and partnerships are key to driving tomorrow’s solutions.”

“Infineon is a global and trusted partner to develop the product offering for POLYN’s outstanding data extraction on-sensor solutions,” said Aleksandr Timofeev, CEO of POLYN. “Together we are aiming to set a new standard for the tire monitoring industry, offering a unique value for next-generation tires and new business models based on data collection, classification, and analysis.”

POLYN is a fabless semiconductor company supplying application-specific Neuromorphic Analog Signal Processing (NASP) technology and products. Infineon Technologies is the global leader in automotive semiconductors.
