MEMS global leading manufacturers launch innovative sensor for consumer electronics, implementations advanced motion control type user interface

Across multiple application field, the leading global semiconductor manufacturers and the worlds top consumer electronics and portable applications MEMS devices supplier STMicroelectronics [1] (STMicroelectronics, abbreviation ST; the New York stock exchange code: STM) expanded motion sensor product line-up, of the smallest marketed three axis analog output gyroscope. Stmicroelectronics latest gyroscope adopts 4x4x1mm3 super-small encapsulation, with excellent performance and reliability and intelligent power management and design flexibility, cell phone, tablet computer, game control and other consumer electronics product to achieve high precision accuracy gesture control and more straightforward of the user interface.

Stmicroelectronics whole series of MEMS gyroscopes products all adopt stmicroelectronics unique design concept: three vertical along the axial [2] share a test structure motion measurement. This innovative design method thoroughly solved the axes and shaft, mutual interference greatly enhances their various consumer electronics and industrial application accuracy and reliability. Stmicroelectronics were launched in the past two years, balance the gyroscope products in 40 consumer electronics and mobile applications from 2009 market share of less than 1% considerably increase 30% of 2010.

Stmicroelectronics L3G462A each axis of gyroscope are equipped with independent output, can provide precise angular velocity detection. + 625dps full range range can accurately measuring various gestures and movements and different speed, realize from the navigation to motion control type user interface and games, etc. Various kinds of applications. Analog interface reaction speed is quick, and in external filtering and application-specific demand has main parameters of trimming flexibility.

The new gyroscopes super-mini design completely solve the existing large size solution common layout and wiring problems, and will not affect the reliability of the sensor performance or. Incomparable stability (+ 0.04 ° C) and DPS/sensitivity (+ 0.017% / ° C) considerably increase the measurement accuracy, its low noise characteristics (0.017 Hz) ensure DPS/appropriate high standard of sports and gesture recognition accuracy.

Stmicroelectronics latest 3 axis of gyroscope analog output voltages scope for 2.4 to 3.6 V, shutdown patterns and sleep helps reduce the overall system awakens mode power consumption.

The new product is scheduled for 2011 beginning at the end of mass production in the third quarter.
