"Look for models in IEEE
Standard format that are
well-suited for mixed-
signal electronics and
multi-discipline systems.
These models can help
design engineers who are
struggling with increasing
power dissipation levels
in decreasing volumes to
assess the performance
of a sensor in a context
that closely represents its
actual application."

Versatility and Diversity
As has been reiterated throughout this eBook, sensors are used in a multitude of use
cases and applications. There is no one-size-fits-all sensor solution, and as such it is
extremely important that a broad and diverse market of flexible sensor offerings and
technologies exists.
One of the biggest challenges for our customers at the
beginning is trying to find the right technology to use
for their application. This is why we try to offer a broad
portfolio of products: to give the customer many options to
meet their technical and cost requirements.
Emmanuel Lemelle
Senior Manager, Product Marketing, Vishay Sfernice
The more unique offerings that are available on the market, the more likely it is
that designers can find the perfect solution for their product without requiring
customization. On top of this, it is often a good idea from a design engineer's
perspective to design with sensors that are flexible and versatile—offering a healthy
balance of performance, power, size, and cost. This combination will make a sensor
an acceptable solution for a variety of use cases as opposed to being confined to a
single application.
