Geneva, Switzerland — STMicroelectronics has added a power- and cost-optimized 3-axis accelerometer to its family of ultra-compact low-g linear accelerometers. Targeting customer demand for ...

Miniature smart sensor combines 3-axis digital accelerometer with embedded microcontroller, operating as sensor hub that runs sensor-fusion algorithms, together in ultra-compact package called iNEMO-A ...

The age of sensors is upon us. These days, it's unusual to experience an electronic consumer product that doesn't use sensors to create new experiences for its users. As micro-electromechanical ...

Freescale Semiconductor, a leading designer and manufacturer of micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) based sensor devices, is addressing the increasing demands for motion sensing in today’s smart ...

In a conference room at Analog Devices (ADI), Howard Wisniowski holds a demo board a little bigger than a commemorative stamp about a meter above the table top. An ADI motion sensor and associated ...

If you’re trying to detect the orientation of an object, sometimes you really don’t need a 6DOF gyro and accelerometer. Hell, if you only need to detect if an object is tilted, you can get a simple ...
