This application note explains the integration of a Kionix MEMS tri-axis accelerometer into a handheld electronic compass application. Required theory, plots, equations and circuit block diagrams are ...

Miniature smart sensor combines 3-axis digital accelerometer with embedded microcontroller, operating as sensor hub that runs sensor-fusion algorithms, together in ultra-compact package called iNEMO-A ...

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 ...

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

Last week’s CES clearly indicated the ever-growing, mainstream role of electronics in automobiles — where several years ago there were no automakers at the event, this year there were 10, from Audi to ...
