STMicroelectronics IIS3DHHC 3-axis accelerometer

Click2Contact

STMicroelectronics is releasing a line of high-stability MEMS sensors with 10-year product-longevity assurance. The first of the sensors is the IIS3DHHC, a 3-axis accelerometer optimised for high-measurement resolution and stability to ensure accuracy over time and temperature.

The accelerometer targets precision inclinometers in antenna-positioning mechanisms for communication systems, structural health monitoring (SHM) equipment for keeping buildings and bridges safe, and stabilisers or levellers for a wide variety of industrial platforms. Its long-term robustness makes it suitable for high-sensitivity tilt and security sensors, as well as image stabilisation in high-end digital still cameras (DSCs).

ST’s 10-year longevity commitment ensures long-term availability of a wide range of high-performing components used in industrial equipment, helping vendors handle the typically long in-market lifetimes of their products and extended operation in challenging environmental conditions. In addition to industrial sensors, the program covers STM32 microcontrollers, motor drivers, analog components, power converters, LEDs and existing MEMS sensors that will be supported for at least 10 years.

The IIS3DHHC is in production now, in a 16-lead 5 x 5 x 1.7 mm ceramic LGA package.
