May 11, 2016- MEMSIC, Inc., announced the shipment of its 1 billionth MEMS sensor. MEMSIC’s products, ranging from accelerometers to sophisticated inertial guidance systems, are used in a wide variety of applications including automotive safety systems, avionics, industrial controls, and consumer electronics.
MEMSIC’s thermal MEMS technology enables monolithic accelerometers, where both the MEMS sensor and the signal processing circuitry are implemented together on the same CMOS die.
The MEMSIC technology has no moving parts or resonance error, providing vibration and shock tolerance (up to 200,000g), and reliability. This is critical for challenging environments such as automotive, construction equipment, UAV’s, and other applications where high performance and ruggedness are critical.
