A stable, robust, state -of-the-art MEMS low-g analog servo accelerometer with a noise floor near 100ng/vHz and a dynamic range of >115dB has recently been developed by Applied MEMS, Inc. (Stafford, TX, 281-552-3026)(www.appliedmems.com) for Input/Output Inc. (NYSE: IO) (Houston, TX 281-933-3330) (www.i-o.com). Applied MEMS, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of I/O.
The accelerometer chip is coupled to a custom CMOS integrated circuit chip. The sensor was developed for use in the demanding environment of oil and gas exploration, where shock and temperature extremes are common. Commercial production of the Si-Flex (tm) accelerometer has commenced in an automated ...
