Tri-axis accelerometers can be used in wearables
MEMS manufacturer Kionix, part of the Rohm group, claims that its KX112 and KXCJB are the industry’s first thin, functional tri-axis accelerometers.
Software library broadens for wearables
Algorithms have been added to the SenseMe Sensor Algorithm Library, by QuickLogic. The algorithms, coupled with the company’s sensor hub silicon platforms and reference designs, enable designers of smartphone and wearable devices to expand device capabilities and features. This dramatically shortens design time, promises the company, while lowering risk, and improve battery life and data accuracy.
Compact pressure sensor IC operates over wide temperature range
Piezo-resistive pressure sensors from Rohm are claimed to have class-leading pressure accuracy and stable measurement at both low and high temperatures due to a built-in temperature correction function.
