MEMS module boasts advanced motion sensing

摘要

STMicro's new iNEMO (inertial module) integrates three-axis sensing of linear and angular motion in a 4 5 1-mm package-approximately half the size of competitive devices. The three-axis, 6 -of-freedom MEMS (microelectromechanical-system) module enables users of the company's single-function sensors to upgrade their designs, reaping the package-level integration benefits of size reduction and reliability. The LSM330DLC muitisensor module combines a user-selectable full-scale acceleration range from 2 to I6g with angular-rate detection of 250 to 2500 dps along the pit, roll, and yaw axes. The module includes power-down and sleep modes and an embedded FIFO (first-in/first-out) memory block for power management. It can operate with any 2.4 to 3.6V supply voltage.
