MEMS sensors include accelerometers to measure linear acceleration and earth gravity vectors, gyroscopes to measure angular velocity, magnetometers to measure earth’s magnetic fields for heading ...

MEMS-based accelerometers are increasingly deployed in harsh environments where mechanical stress is not just expected but constant.

Microelectromechanical-systems (MEMS) technology uses micro fabrication techniques to combine microelectronics capabilities with the mechanical properties of microsensors. Increasingly, MEMS ...

TDK Corp. has introduced the miniature Tronics AXO315 one-axis, closed-loop MEMS accelerometer with a 24-bit digital SPI interface in a SMD package. The company claims the force-rebalance MEMS ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The use of MEMS accelerometers to sense rapid deceleration for airbag deployment is well over a decade old and considered a well-known technology.

ADI’s ADXL375 200-g digital MEMS accelerometer delivers more than twice the bandwidth at less than half the power consumption of competing sensors used to measure high-g events. NORWOOD, ...

A MEMS accelerometer is a sensor that can be used to measure vibration, shock or change in velocity. By deploying many of these detectors as part of a complete sensor network, HP will enable real-time ...

Standard Finite Element (FE) models, especially those that incorporate multiple physical domains, consist of detailed representations of a device that include a large number of Degrees of Freedom (DoF ...

When it comes to testing microelectromechanical system devices and sensors, sometimes you have to shake and bake. and sensors are physically different from standard ICs. They require a specific type ...

Most people’s personal experience with seismographs begins and ends with simple childhood science experiments. Watching a pendulum make erratic marks on a piece of paper while your classmates banged ...
