Abstract—(MEMS) Microelectromechanical systemsin consumer electronics are growing faster each year, with increasing demands from the mobile market, which is dominating the growth for this emerging ...

TDK Tronics adds two digital MEMS accelerometers to its AXO300 series providing high linearity and stability, even in high vibration environments. The AXO301 is a low ...

How do piezoelectric accelerometers — vibration sensors — work? The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the sensor's mass to “squeeze” contained piezoelectric ...

ST has integrated six accelerometers into a 2.5 x 3mm inertial measurement unit for sports wearables. “Capable of measuring events ranging from slight movements to intense impacts with equal accuracy, ...

Many of your smartphone's coolest feats are accomplished with a wide range of sensors—but what are they and what do they all actually do? Reading time 6 minutes Your smartphone is a remarkable feat of ...

Why is a dual-mode IMU sensor needed for some applications? Accelerometer inertial measurement units (IMUs) are useful in ...

Sitronix Technology has developed its first 3-axis accelerometer with a launch expected to come soon, according to industry sources. The company is also looking to tap the markets... Driven by the ...

Silicon Designs has launched a series of low-g mems dc accelerometer chips. Model 1525 accelerometers come in ±2, 5, 10, 25 and 50g versions, and are aimed at low-frequency (including seismic) ...

US-based accelerometer (g-sensor) design company Kionix is expected to see 15-20% growth in its g-sensor product shipments in 2009 because it has successfully cut into the supply chains of Motorola ...
