Results for tag: "MEMS Accelerometer"

The MEMS Accelerometer market is a subset of the larger Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) industry. MEMS Accelerometers are small, low-power devices that measure acceleration and tilt. They are used in a variety of applications, such as automotive, consumer electronics, industrial, and medical. MEMS Accelerometers are typically composed of a micro-machined silicon structure, which is suspended on a flexible membrane. This structure is then connected to a sensing element, such as a piezoelectric material, which is used to detect acceleration. MEMS Accelerometers are becoming increasingly popular due to their small size, low power consumption, and high accuracy. They are also relatively inexpensive, making them attractive to a wide range of customers. As a result, the MEMS Accelerometer market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. Some of the major companies in the MEMS Accelerometer market include STMicroelectronics, Bosch Sensortec, InvenSense, Kionix, and Freescale Semiconductor. Show Less Read more
