EM Microelectronic

EM Microelectronic, based in Marin, La Tène near Neuchâtel in Switzerland, is a developer and semiconductor manufacturer specialized in the design and production of ultra low power, low voltage integrated circuits for battery-operated and field-powered applications in consumer, automotive and industrial areas. It is a subsidiary of The Swatch Group.

EM began as a division of Ebauches Electroniques SA and was founded in 1975. In August 2022, they partnered up with Exeger, a manufacturer of solar cells.

EM Microelectronic has a design center at its headquarters in Marin, in the French speaking part of Switzerland near the city of Neuchâtel.

EM has subsidiaries and additional design centers:

EM Microelectronic specialises in the design and production of ultra low power, low voltage integrated circuits for battery-operated and field-powered applications in consumer, automotive and industrial products. It has in-house semiconductor fabrication facilities and also uses external foundries.

EM Microelectronic's products include RFID circuits, smart cards ICs, ultra-low power microcontrollers, energy harvesting, power management, LCD drivers and displays, optical sensors and sensor interface ICs. EM manufactures not only standard circuits and ASICs, but also systems and modules for applications such as access control, radio frequency identification, mobile phones, mass-market consumer appliances, alarm and security systems, utility and heating meters, sensor signal processing, controlling, car immobilization, electronic automotive subsystems and many more.

Their microcontrollers use CoolRISC instruction set, instructions are 22 bits wide and operate on 8-bit data.

EM Microelectronic designs and develops Bluetooth Low Energy products such as the EM9304, aimed at smallest footprint and lowest power consumption applications. When the 32 bit EM9304 launched in 2016 it was the smallest Bluetooth 4.2 SoC available. EM is an associate member of the Bluetooth SIG and is contributing through several working group to improve global specification and expertise in ultra-low power design for Bluetooth low energy wireless technology. EM Micro has also a proprietary link family of products with 1Mbits, 2 Mbit/s and Long range solutions.[buzzword]
