Sponsored by Digi-Key and Analog Devices: After years of trials and tribulations from all corners of the industry to nail down the technology, two MEMS SP4T switches overcome those nagging RF hurdles.

Unveiled at CES 2024, Bosch Sensortec has introduced the BMA530 and BMA580 MEMS accelerometers for wearable and hearable devices. Claimed as the smallest in the industry, both devices measure 1.2 × ...

MEMS-based accelerometers are increasingly deployed in harsh environments where mechanical stress is not just expected but constant.

For roughly a decade, MEMS accelerometers have been making automobiles safer by triggering air bags in the event of a crash. But manufacturers of the tiny sensors have always had larger ambitions: a ...

In a major leap forward for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, researchers have unveiled a novel miniaturized accelerometer that can boost sensitivity, reducing noise and bias ...

Knowing the characteristics of MEMS devices lets different labs compare them accurately. Accelerometers—devices that measure change in velocity—are built into automobiles, airplanes, cell phones, ...

ADI’s ADXL375 200-g digital MEMS accelerometer delivers more than twice the bandwidth at less than half the power consumption of competing sensors used to measure high-g events. NORWOOD, ...

It’s been obvious for decades that the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switch could potentially replace PIN diode, mechanical, FET, and other types of switches in a broad swath of RF and ...
