NVE Corporation engages in the development and sale of devices that use spintronics, a nanotechnology, which relies on electron spin rather than electron charge to acquire, store, and transmit information. The company manufactures high-performance spintronic products, including sensors and couplers used to acquire and transmit data. Its products comprise standard sensors to detect the presence of a magnetic or metallic material to determine position or speed primarily for factory automation market; and custom and medical sensors for medical devices to replace electromechanical magnetic switches. The company also offers spintronic couplers, such as passive-input couplers, high-speed couplers, and isolated network couplers. In addition, it licenses the spintronic magnetoresistive random access memory technology to store data, as well as conducts contract research and development activities. The company sells its products through distributors primarily in the United States, Europe, and Asia. NVE Corporation was founded in 1982 and is headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
