A tiny 3-axis MEMS accelerometer, the LIS2DTW12 from STMicroelectronics embeds a temperature sensor that boasts typical accuracy of 0.8°C. The device’s thin 2×2×0.7-mm LGA-12 plastic package allows it ...
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 ...
The invisible sensor network that powers your phone's smartest features.
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 ...
Accelerometers are used in vehicles for applications such as airbag deployment, electronic stability control (ESC), and tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS). Airbag systems incorporate ...
The just-launched Brain Sentry Impact Sensor™, a lightweight helmet-mounted impact-monitoring device, will use ST’s MEMS accelerometer to monitor head impacts that may cause concussions or other brain ...
