ST launches new tri-axis accelerometers

Oct. 13, 2005 – STMicroelectronics, a supplier of MEMS devices, announced that it has expanded its portfolio of three-axis accelerometers with three new models designed to address different system needs from hard disk drive protection to motion user interfaces.

The company’s LIS3LV02DQ features adjustable bandwidth and direction detection, as well as a digital interface. The company says the adjustable bandwidth lets designers make changes in software to eliminate interference. Intended application areas include user interfaces in computer and consumer applications, such as 3D mice or gaming consoles.

The analog-output LIS3L02AL and LIS3L06AL sensors are packaged in slim-and-small plastic LGA packages in order to meet the space constraints of mini disc drives, mobile phones, and other portable electronic devices. ST says they also offer high temperature stability and high immunity to vibration and a shock.
