Founded in 2006, Crocus Technology develops and manufactures high performance magnetic field sensors for a variety of applications: Automotive, consumer goods, industrial and medical IoT. Crocus Technology is present worldwide: In Grenoble, France, with magnetic technology development and product design, as well as pre-production and Europe sales support; In Milpitas, California, USA, with Headquarters, Operations, Sales & Marketing, as well as Digital/Analog design and customer applications support; In Japan and China, with Asia sales and technical support.
Crocus has developed a disruptive magnetic technology based on magnetic tunnel junctions with high magnetoresistance (TMR). It focuses on developing and manufacturing magnetic sensing solutions based on TMR and on its own proprietary Magnetic Logic Unit™ (MLU™) technology, with the goal to become a world- wide leader and provider of robust and intelligent magnetic field sensors. TMR is poised to replace existing magnetic sensor technologies (Hall/AMR/GMR), as a solution with higher sensitivity, better SNR, ultra-low energy consumption, and extremely stable performance over a wide temperature range. Crocus holds over 150 patent families relating to TMR technology, memory and sensor design.
