STMicroelectronics’ new three-axis high-resolution accelerometer has two embedded finite-state machines. These programmable blocks enable custom motion recognition inside the sensor, raising the bar in reducing system complexity and power consumption in motion-sensitive mobile phones and other smart consumer devices that let users answer calls, turn the ringer on or off, or launch applications like a pedometer, with a defined motion.ST’s LIS3DSH accelerometer provides accurate output across full-scale ranges of ±2g/±4g/±8g/±16g and is stable over time and temperature. Other features include power-down and sleep modes, an embedded FIFO (first-in first-out) memory block, a temperature sensor, and a self-test function.Learn more from STMicroelectronics.
