EM Microelectronic's products include RFID circuits, smart cards ICs, ultra-low power microcontrollers, power management, LCD drivers and displays, sensor and opto-electronic ICs, mixed-mode arrays and standard analog ICs. EM manufacture not only standard circuits and ASICs, but also systems and modules for applications such as access control, radio frequency identification, mobile phones, mass-market consumer appliances, alarm and security systems, utility and heating meters, sensor signal processing, controlling, car immobilization, electronic automotive subsystems and many more.

2.4 GHz wireless

EM Microelectronic design and develop Bluetooth Low Energy products such as the EM9301.[3] EM is an associate member of the Bluetooth SIG and is contributing through several working group to improve global specification and expertise in ultra-low power design for Bluetooth low energy wireless technology.[4] EM Micro has also a proprietary link family of products with 1Mbits, 2Mbit/s and Long range solutions.

RFID

The popularity of EM Microelectronic's range of ~125 kHz RFID devices has led to product from other manufacturers being advertised as "EM4100 compatible" although this may simply mean that the active device embedded in the RFID tag/card is an EM Microelectronic product.

gollark: I see.
gollark: Yes, most people do.
gollark: But you don't need to bother managing your camera when you can just do the initial setup and have me do it.
gollark: Whenever I talk of scanning the entire IPv4 address range I'm actually joking, see.
gollark: Interestingly, heavpoot actually made something to scan all ngrok (a popular service for exposing internal services to the interweb™) ports/IPs for Minecraft servers.
