For a sensor, the amount of harmful exposure it receives from the environment and harmful constituents in the measuring process depends on what is being sensed and the environment itself. Different packaging is required to cope with and survive the specific situation. Two major considerations for protection are at the sensing element/transducer level or at […]

How can you get more than one measurement from a single sensing technology?
Getting more than one sensor measurement from a semiconductor sensor package that is perhaps 50% or more smaller than one commonly used a decade ago is no problem. Two and even all three of the accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer (AGM) sensors found in an inertial measurement unit (IMU) commonly found in a smart phone are […]
