The Nanusens solution
Free up space for battery
Longer audio on the go is a trademark of Nanusens
- We free up space inside the earbud design by replacing sensors with our nanosensors.
- The freed-up space can be used for additional features such as more sensors
- A typical MEMS sensor package is 4mm3 but ours is only 0,5 mm3
Multiple sensors on one chip
- Our products combine several sensors on one chip with hardly any increase in chip size
- The sensors are tiny and we can share most of the control electronics on the chip
- This gives the designer the choice to free up more space or add more sensors without much space loss
Roadmaps of solutions for earbuds
- Headphone sockets are being designed out
- With 1.5 billion smartphones shipped each year, the market potential for Nanusens technology into the earbuds that these will need is tremendous.
- The first product from Nanusens will be a 2D motion detector for earbuds which can be used to implement tap and double tap for control, wake-on-movement and sleep-on-rest functions, and, soon after, a 3D accelerometer.
A typical MEMS sensor package is 4mm3 but ours is only 0.5 mm3 so we free up 3.5 mm3 for every sensor replaced with one of ours. So, three MEMS sensors replaced frees up 10.5 mm3 for example and needs less PCB real estate. This can be used for bigger batteries or a supercapacitor to give Longer audio on the go™.
Our nanosensors can be easily added as they take up very little space giving them the freedom to design in as many sensors as they want.

Roadmaps of solutions for earbuds
The first product from Nanusens will be a 2D motion detector for earbuds, which can be used to implement tap and double tap for control, wake-on-movement and sleep-on-rest functions, and, soon after, a 3D accelerometer. A bone conduction sensor for noise cancellation is next to be integrated into the single chip solution. Chips will be available in a small package such as WLCSP or as bare die that can be attached directly to the PCB. Nanusens can deliver solutions for earbuds that no one else can. +
Headphone sockets are being designed out
The key driver for earbud market growth is that phone manufacturers are designing out bulky headphone sockets to free up space inside phones for larger batteries and more features, and using Bluetooth connectivity to earbuds. With 1.5 billion smartphones shipped each year, the market potential for Nanusens technology into the earbuds that these will need is tremendous.
