STMicroelectronics has introduced a 2.5 x 3mm inertial measurement IC with low (±16g) and high (±256g) range accelerometers and a gyroscope for angular rate measurement – all three-axis types.

The main purpose of this demonstration was to sense a freely falling object by KX122’s built-in free-fall interrupt followed by a parachute deployment. Some calibration was needed to create hysteresis ...

Taiwan's National Science Council has announced that it will offer free accelerometer (g-sensor) IP to Taiwan IC design houses. The move is expected to help companies save R&D cost and allow them to ...
