MDT Unveils Leading-Edge TMR Sensors for Gaming Joysticks at Electronica and SPS

Innovative TMR Technology Redefines Gaming Experience with Drift-Free Durability, Extended Battery Life, and Superior Sensing Resolution

MUNICH and NUREMBERG, Germany, and ZHANGJIAGANG, China, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MultiDimension Technology Co., Ltd. (MDT), a global leader in magnetic sensors specializing in Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) technology, introduces its groundbreaking TMR2615/ TMR2617 series at Electronica and SPS. These cutting-edge TMR sensors are poised to revolutionize gaming experience with exceptional performance and innovative features.

Game-Changing Technology for Consumer Electronics

TMR2615/TMR2617 are powered by MDT's proprietary TMR technology, integrated with a programmable ASIC offering factory-preset tailored to user-defined parametric targets. This ensures high consistency and optimal performance across large-scale production, addressing diverse demands for thumbsticks and trigger keys in gaming controllers.

Compared to traditional carbon-film or Hall-effect sensors, MDT's TMR sensors deliver unparalleled advantages:

• Wear-Free, Drift-Free Operation: Non-contact design ensures long-lasting, stable performance.
• Extended Battery Life: Consumes less than 0.3mA, significantly extending playtime vs. Hall-effect sensors that consume 5–10 times more power.
• High Signal-Noise-Ratio with Large Dynamic Range: Provides enhanced precision and responsiveness for seamless control.
• Exceptional Temperature Stability: Reliable performance across a wide range of operating conditions.

The TMR2615 is available in compact DFN packages (2x2x0.55mm and 1.6x1.6x0.5mm). The TMR2617 serves as a drop-in replacement for Hall-effect devices, offering compatibility with standard SOT23-3 footprints for effortless upgrades.

Market Success and Enthusiastic Feedback

Since their launch in Q1 2024, these new TMR sensors have rapidly gained market recognition, achieving mass production by Q2 and adoption by leading manufacturers. The industry has warmly embraced these innovations, as demonstrated by enthusiastic user feedback:

• "So long Hall Effect – I'm only using controllers with TMR sensors from now on" – Tom's Guide
• "Exclusive: PB Tails Defender Limited Edition review, the world's first TMR stick controller" – Neowin
• "Say goodbye to drift as Gulikit reveals TMR stick upgrades for PS5 & Xbox" – Dexerto

Availability and Future Developments

TMR2615/TMR2617 are available for ordering in production quantities. They are being actively developed for broader applications, including magnetic gaming keyboards and mouse scroll wheels, along with dual-axis prototypes integrating X/Y-axis sensing in a single device, showcasing MDT's commitment to driving innovation across a wide range of user experiences.
