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 ...
Bosch Sensortec says it has launched the world’s smallest MEMS accelerometers – the BMA530 and BMA580. BMA530 tracks activities with its step counter and is suitable for wearables, and BMA580 targets ...
In what is being described as "a breakthrough for body sensor and navigation technologies", a team of scientists in Sweden and Germany have developed the smallest accelerometer yet reported, using ...
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 ...
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 ...
