Motion sensor boasts current consumption of 790µA compared to 925µA
Tiny MEMS motion sensors are all around us. They make consumer products easier to use and improve how our smartphones and other gadgets interact with us. These sensors are precise, compact, and power-efficient, however, until now, they have been complex for basic applications. To address this issue, Bosch Sensortec is launching the BMI323, an affordable […]
Automotive MEMS accelerometer optimizes for sensing road noise, vibration
STMicroelectronics is enabling more acoustically comfortable cars, with its new sensor for road-noise cancellation (RNC) through active noise-control (ANC) techniques. Cars have traditionally been defined by engine performance, exterior design, and powertrains, but drivers and passengers are increasingly focused on comfort. Indeed, while Electric Vehicles (EVs) are intrinsically less noisy than internal combustion engine […]
