Geneva, Switzerland — STMicroelectronics has added two new accelerometers to its ultra-compact portfolio of devices in 4 x 4 x 1.5-mm LGA packages, with a full-scale selectable range of ±2g or ±6g.

Let’s first take a look at the motion of the mechanism, as shown in the simulation results below. The kinematics for this problem are a little complicated. Recall that we studied these types of ...
