Smallest Sensor Week: Dual-Axis Digital Accelerometer Boasts Smallest Packaging
The second of this week’s small sensors is the world’s smallest and most robust digital accelerometer from MEMSIC Inc. Using patented MEMS thermal technology manufactured with a standard 0.18 µm CMOS process and advanced wafer- level packaging (WLP), the MXC6226XC two-axis digital accelerometer fits within a 1.2. x 1.7 x 1.0 mm package. Per the company’s […]
Digital Output DC Current Sensor Avoids Sampling and A/D Converter Circuitry
Typical current sensing techniques that use a Hall Effect sensor or a resistive shunt deliver an analog output that requires additional circuitry for use in digital control circuits. Micro Oscillator Inc. has introduced an isolated high-side DC current sensor that provides a uni-directional current sensing system with a frequency output. The pulsed output of the […]
