On November 7th, 2024, the China Microelectronics Industry Conference & The 19th “China Chip” Award Ceremony were grandly held in Hengqin, Zhuhai, Guangdong province. As the leading IC design company in domestic, Maxic won the “Excellent Technology Innovation Product Award” based on its advanced technologies and the innovation achievements in optical sensor field.

The ceremony, initialized by the China Center for Information Industry Development, is one of the very influential and authoritative ceremonies in the IC industry, it has been held for 19 consecutive years since its establishment in 2006. The evaluation of excellent products, which is widely concentrated and supported by the industry, aims to commend the product innovations, technology innovations and application innovations in IC field, plays an exemplary role, affects and leads industry developments.

Maxic wins the “Excellent Technological Innovation Product Award”

In this high-profile event, MT350X — Maxic’s self-developed, high-resolution, high-precision, high-integration optical positioning sensor featuring rotation detection and key detection — won the “Excellent Technological Innovation Product Award”. The honor not only highlights Maxic’s innovation strength in IC design field, but also a high recognition and encouragement of our core technologies and innovation achievements in optical sensor field. 

MT350X: high-resolution, high-precision, high-integration optical positioning sensor

MT350X is the first high-resolution high-precision high-integration optical positioning sensor in the industry that features rotation detection and key detection. It integrates 850nm VCSEL emitter, infrared pixel array, high precision ADC and high-speed digital imagine processing module, has advantages of transceiver in one, high integration, ultra-low power dissipation, easy production testing, etc. The chip has been shipped to a number of well-known customers in large-scale, and widely applied to various devices for rotation and key detections, including but do not limited to smartwatches, smart bracelets, smart glasses and so on.
