Most of the latest 3-axis digital-MEMS accelerometers on the market can generate interrupts for a number of applications. Some of the applications—such as screen rotation, wakeup, freefall, single ...

There’s a good chance that you use a MEMS accelerometer every single day. It’s the small chip that let your smart phone automatically adjust its screen orientation. They’re great chips, and since they ...

The global MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) accelerometer and gyroscope market is experiencing rapid expansion, driven by the increasing demand for precise motion-sensing technologies across ...

Quantifying the vibration of industrial machinery and using that information for condition monitoring (CM) has long been an ambitious goal, but also one with significant technical and implementation ...

Sales of acceleration and yaw sensors only grew 7% to $2.54bn in 2012 as prices turned down after the 27% growth in 2011, but are expected to grow 12% to $2.84bn in 2013, says IC Insights.
