Intersema Sensoric SA, headquartered in Bevaix, Switzerland, is a globally recognized leader in the design, development, and manufacturing of high-performance micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) pressure sensors. Founded in 1998, the company established itself through deep expertise in silicon micromachining and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design, creating robust and precise sensing solutions.

Core Competency: Intersema's core strength lies in its mastery of MEMS technology for pressure measurement. The company specializes in producing a wide range of piezoresistive pressure sensor elements and fully calibrated sensor modules. These products measure absolute, gauge, and differential pressure across diverse ranges (from a few mbar to several hundred bar), offering both analog and digital outputs to suit various integration needs.

Technology & Innovation: Intersema excels in the monolithic integration of the MEMS sensing element with signal conditioning ASICs on a single silicon die. This integration enables exceptional performance characteristics, including high accuracy, excellent long-term stability, low power consumption, and strong resistance to media and environmental factors. Their sensors are known for reliability in demanding conditions.

Key Markets & Applications: Intersema's precision sensors serve mission-critical applications across multiple high-value industries:

• Medical & Life Sciences: Patient monitoring (blood pressure, respiration), ventilators, infusion pumps, diagnostic equipment.

• Industrial Automation & Process Control: Pressure monitoring in hydraulics, pneumatics, compressors, pumps, HVAC systems, and industrial machinery.

• Test & Measurement: High-accuracy instrumentation, calibration equipment.

• Consumer & Automotive: Altimeters, weather stations, specialized automotive subsystems.

Value Proposition: Intersema provides more than just components; it offers application-specific solutions. Leveraging Swiss precision engineering and manufacturing quality, the company emphasizes:

• High Performance & Reliability: Critical for medical and industrial use.

• Customization: Tailoring sensors to specific customer requirements (pressure range, output, packaging).

• Technical Expertise: Deep application support from design-in to volume production.

• Quality: Adherence to stringent industry standards.

Acquisition & Future: Since its acquisition by TE Connectivity (TE) in 2012, Intersema operates as a Center of Excellence within TE's Sensor Solutions business unit. This provides enhanced global reach, manufacturing scale, and R&D resources while maintaining its Swiss engineering heritage and focus on innovative MEMS pressure sensing technology. Intersema Sensoric SA continues to be a trusted partner for sophisticated pressure sensing needs worldwide.
