Sentons was started in 2011 by a team of experienced RF technologists after selling their previous company to a global semiconductor company.
The team had a theory — that many fancy tricks from the RF signal processing world could be applied to ultrasonic waves to create an entirely new type of touch sensing technology. One that could sense through virtually any substrate, scalable to any size, and highly cost effective.
Over the past 7 years, our team has taken that idea from unproven theory to commercial success.
Our technology is now used by many of the world's leading electronics brands to enable faster, more intuitive, and unique user experiences on smartphones and other products. And we're just getting started.
We provide our technology in the form of our custom-developed ASICs, together with complete reference designs, project-specific design and customization support, and a network of partners to provide other necessary components.
Sentons has a global team working from offices in Silicon Valley, California, Taipei, Taiwan, South Korea, and Hong Kong.
