At the 2012 International CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas, Frank Melzer, CEO of Bosch Sensortec demonstrates 9-axis sensing using a combined accelerometer and eCompass magnetometer with the company’s newest 3×3-mm triaxial gyroscope, the BMG160. The 9-degree of freedom sensing combined with an imaging system and additional software enables augmented reality. In addition, Melzer […]

Sense Acceleration with a 2 x 2-mm Package
Sensing acceleration in a space-constrained end product may result in the tradeoff of another feature if the accelerometer takes too much space. To avoid the conflict, STMicroelectronics introduced three-axis accelerometers in 2×2 mm packages. The tiny sensors have a quite a few features of their own. With full-scale ranges of ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g, the LIS2DH and LIS2DM […]
Miniature Triaxial Accelerometer in 6.3-mm Cube
Measuring acceleration or vibration in small spaces poses problems for applications such as small component qualification, structural vibration and environmental stress screening. PCB Piezotronics, Inc., new miniature Integrated Circuit – Piezoelectric or ICP triaxial accelerometer addresses these space-constrained applications. With a 6.3 mm (0.25-in) cube form factor, the Model 356A03 delivers 10 mV/g sensitivity. Other […]
