August 24, 2018 - Silicon Designs, a designer and manufacturer of industrial-grade MEMS variable capacitive (MEMS VC) accelerometer chips, modules, and supporting data acquisition, announced that it is now offering MEMS VC accelerometer module samples, in ranges from ±2 g to ±100 g, via Amazon.com. This Amazon offering will allow Silicon Designs to distribute MEMS VC accelerometer samples to its customers, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, from anywhere in the world.
In parallel, Silicon Designs looks forward to continuing to offer via the factory, larger quantities and higher-g ranges of its standard and custom MEMS VC accelerometer modules, including the Model 2422H Series specialty hermetic line; standard and custom MEMS JCC/LCC chips with integrated amplification; and supporting data acquisition. MEMS VC accelerometer modules from Silicon Designs are offered in standard ranges from ±2 g to ±400 g. On-board voltage regulation and an internal reference minimize temperature and voltage changes, while eliminating additional external power regulation requirements. Series units are relatively insensitive to wider temperature changes and gradients.
Carefully regulated manufacturing processes ensure that each Silicon Designs MEMS VC accelerometer is manufactured to virtually identical performance standards, allowing users to swap out parts in the same g-range with few-to-no testing modifications.
