New digital BMA020 acceleration sensor – down-scaled SMB380 For cell phones, notebooks, PDAs, sport articles and game controllers
Bosch Sensortec has launched the BMA020, expanding its selection of ultraflat, digital triaxial acceleration sensors. In this way, the Bosch subsidiary enables a broader penetration of MEMS sensors into consumer electronics market.
Many manufacturers in these markets are discovering what are in part spectacular new functions paired with user advantages made possible by MEMS sensors. But mass markets for consumer electronics have their own laws, presenting component manufacturers with quite different challenges to traditional MEMS markets. Bosch Sensortec has consequently initiated product diversification in order to offer big industry customers sensors of high quality and with performance matched to the particular purpose. The dominance, witnessed to date, of universal sensors capable of taking on so many different applications is receding, to make way for components like the BMA020 that are designed to meet specific market requirements.
