How do piezoelectric accelerometers — vibration sensors — work? The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the sensor's mass to “squeeze” contained piezoelectric ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced a 2.5 x 3mm inertial measurement IC with low (±16g) and high (±256g) range accelerometers and a gyroscope for angular rate measurement – all three-axis types.

Accelerometers turn motion into measurable signals. From tilt and vibration to g-forces, they underpin countless designs. In this “Fun with Fundamentals” entry, we demystify their operation and take a ...
