Accelerometers are essential for sensing motion, orientation, and gravity, transforming digital systems into a “sixth sense” that detects activity, maintains stability, and ensures safety. ST’s recent expansion of its MEMS accelerometer portfolio offers unparalleled performance and reliability, particularly in safety-critical applications. By integrating advanced MEMS technology with embedded intelligence, ST accelerometers exceed motion measurement to provide deep context understanding while maintaining industry-leading energy efficiency, delivering unique value to customers.
ST leads in MEMS innovation, engineering accelerometers that set new standards in precision, durability, and integration.
- Embedded intelligence (edge AI): Our integrated machine learning core (MLC) and finite state machine (FSM) enable on-sensor data processing, reducing power consumption and easing host processor load.
- Ultralow power: With industry-leading low power consumption, our devices can perform continuous, complex sensing, including contextual awareness, in battery-powered applications.
- Versatile sensing: We provide sensing solutions that span from ultra-precise low-g sensors for orientation to robust high-g accelerometers for impact and vibration monitoring.
- Miniaturization: We achieve top performance through advanced silicon technology in some of the smallest form factors, ideal for compact designs.
