Elmos Semiconductor

Elmos Semiconductor SE is a German automotive semiconductor company founded in 1984 and headquartered in Leverkusen, designing analog and mixed-signal ICs for vehicle electronics. The company addresses automakers’ need for specialized chips that control motors, sensors and lighting as vehicles add more electronic functions per model.

Elmos designs motor control ICs for stepper, brushless DC and DC motors, ultrasonic distance-sensing ICs, pressure and other sensor signal processors, LED driver ICs for exterior and interior lighting, and interface transceivers for automotive networks such as LIN and CAN, alongside a quantum random number generator (QRNG) for secure applications. Customers are automotive tier-1 suppliers and OEMs across ADAS, body and convenience, infotainment, lighting and powertrain systems, with mid-2026 revenue reported at EUR 314.5 million.
