This application note explains the integration of a Kionix MEMS tri-axis accelerometer into a handheld electronic compass application. Required theory, plots, equations and circuit block diagrams are ...

Kionix, the 16 year-old New York-based MEMs company, announced a tri-axis accelerometer at Globalpress Summit Conference in San Francisco. The sensor can create up to twelve, unique, tap-enabled ...

Kionix’s low-noise KXR94 and KXD94 accelerometers feature high data-sampling rates, and internal low-pass filter, and multiplexed output for consumer- and automotive-grade applications. The tri-axis ...

Kionix, part of the Rohm group, has introduced a family of medium-g, tri-axis analogue accelerometers. Two versions are available, the KX220-1071/2 accelerometers which provide +/-20g and +/-40g ...

MEMS sensors include accelerometers to measure linear acceleration and earth gravity vectors, gyroscopes to measure angular velocity, magnetometers to measure earth’s magnetic fields for heading ...

In a conference room at Analog Devices (ADI), Howard Wisniowski holds a demo board a little bigger than a commemorative stamp about a meter above the table top. An ADI motion sensor and associated ...
