Elmos Semiconductor SE will present its latest semiconductor innovations during CES 2026 in Las Vegas from January 6 to 9, 2026. The company will demonstrate how its technologies make vehicles smarter, safer, and more efficient through various application-focused displays. For business and technology leaders, these developments signal significant advancements in automotive electronics that could reshape vehicle architecture, manufacturing, and consumer expectations.
The Thermal Management demonstrator shows how intelligent motor control ICs optimize temperature control in electric vehicles by controlling pumps, valves, and flow sensors, potentially increasing efficiency and range. Similarly, the Air Flow/HVAC demonstrator uses the E533.06 BLDC controller, E523.62/63 actuator driver, and E703.15 ultrasonic flow sensor to ensure quiet, energy-efficient climate control through precise motor management. These technologies address critical challenges in electric vehicle adoption by extending range and improving energy utilization, which could accelerate the transition to electric mobility.
Safety technologies feature prominently with the Brake-by-Wire demonstrator, where the E520.47 dual-bridge sensor signal processor measures brake pressure with maximum precision for faster, safer braking. The Smart Electronic eFuse demonstrator addresses power distribution in modern zonal vehicle architectures with intelligent fuse solutions offering real-time monitoring and flexible load control. These advancements support the industry's move toward software-defined vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems that require reliable, responsive safety mechanisms.
Ultrasonic sensor technology takes center stage with the Ultrasonic Near-Field Ranging Demonstrator, which measures objects at distances as close as seven centimeters for applications like automated parking. An accompanying AI kit enhances sensor data interpretation from the E521.44 and E524.20 chips through AI-supported grid mapping, enabling more precise height differentiation and improved object recognition. Elmos presents a ready-to-install ultrasonic sensor kit containing all necessary components for vehicle integration. This integration of AI with sensor technology represents a significant step toward more sophisticated autonomous driving capabilities.
Lighting innovations include the OLED Rear Light demonstrator featuring ultra-thin, dynamically animated rear lights that combine design freedom with energy efficiency. The Dynamic RGB LED Light Bar transforms vehicle communication through flowing animations and color gradients responsive to driving situations, while the Dynamic Glass Roof Light creates adaptive interior lighting moods for enhanced comfort. These developments illustrate how semiconductor technology enables both functional improvements and aesthetic differentiation in competitive automotive markets.
The compact System-on-a-Chip sensor E527.06 reliably detects rain and darkness, with modular software architecture enabling complex signal evaluation for optimal windshield wiper and light control. The rain-light tunnel demonstrator shows how Elmos combines sensor and actuator technology by controlling an autonomous rear windshield wiper that reacts to varying rain intensities, fog, or changing light conditions. This integration demonstrates how semiconductor solutions can create more responsive, automated vehicle systems that enhance both safety and convenience.
Cybersecurity receives quantum-level attention with Elmos' patented single-chip Quantum Random Number Generator solution. The 2 x 2 mm chip uses quantum principles based on in-chip photoemission to generate high-quality random numbers for cryptographic security in automotive and networked systems. The second-generation QRNG appears in a compact USB stick format that generates true, physically random numbers based on quantum events with online verification according to the NIST standard. This quantum security approach addresses growing concerns about vehicle cybersecurity as vehicles become increasingly connected and autonomous.
