Quartz-Based Sensors: Beyond Quartz Crystal and Crystal Oscillator - (PPT)

摘要

Seiko Epson Corporation ("Epson") today announced that a joint development effort with NGK insulators, Ltd. ("NGK") has succeeded in developing the smallest gyro-sensor of its kind in the world. The XV-3500CB, as the new gyro-sensor is being called, is scheduled... and represents Epson's first salvo in a battle to expand the scope of its quartz crystal device business. The new gyro sensor boasts unprecedented stability thanks to the use of a monocrystalline quartz crystal for the newly developed gyro element... was able to achieve a gyro sensor measuring just 5.0mm × 3.2mm × 1.3mm, making it the world's smallest gyro-sensor with built-in drive circuitry...
