Murata announces the successful development of what is believed to be the world's first surface mount MEMS angular acceleration sensor.
Recent years have seen a growing customer demand for angular acceleration sensors with compact dimensions, which also feature high sensitivity, low noise and wide frequency band. Recognizing this demand, Murata combined its technology for designing inertial sensors, such as acceleration and gyro sensors with its MEMS (micro electro-mechanical sensor) process technology to successfully develop what is believed to be the world's first surface-mount-type MEMS angular acceleration sensor.
The unit is also believed to be the world's smallest SMD-type angular acceleration sensor, the accelerometer has dimensions of just 5.2 x 2.5mm typ. x 0.8mm max. It incorporates a detection frequency band of more than 1kHz and an angular acceleration equivalent noise effective value of less than 1rad/s2ms.
Murata's surface mount MEMS angular acceleration sensor can be used for the detection of angular acceleration and the detection of rotational vibration.
The unit has been patent registered in Japan and overseas and has more than than 10 patents pending.
The BAC05 series from Murata offers a rugged design, efficient and flexible family of AC/DC converters suitable for a wide range of applications including industrial, medical, building automation and IoT devices.
Murata have extended their range of Lithium Coin cells to include High Drain and Extended Temperature types to meet the demanding requirements of next generation IoT devices.
Murata's range AMR sensors are magnetic switches that have an integrated IC that produces high and low output digital signals based on the magnetic field strength detected.
Murata have introduced the NFG0QHB series of common mode noise filters, designed for high-speed differential interfaces such as those used on USB and HDMI interfaces.
Murata manufacture a wide range of sounder and buzzer components based on Piezoelectric ceramic technology, the range includes surface mount and through hole housed sounders and Piezoelectric diaphragms.
The LXRW series from Murata are innovative variable capacitors which allow their capacitance value to be varied by applying a voltage, the capacitance varies proportional to the voltage applied making them ideal for use in frequency tuning circuits.
