Submitted by baitron on Thu, 12/01/2016 - 22:31

Koxix, Inc., based in Roxm Group, has developed shock and acceleration sensing applications for industrial and sports fitness equipment. The KX222 / KX224, a small accelerometer that supports high G-range detection, .

"KX222 / KX224" range up to ± 32G, respectively, 2 * 2mm2, 3 * 3mm2 the LGA package, help a variety of high-performance applications of small.

This product was sold in September 2016 (sample price 1,500 yen / month, excluding tax; specific contact your local sales representative), plans to begin in December to temporarily produce 1 million units in volume production.

<Background>

At present, the general acceleration sensor only supports the measurement of less than ± 20G acceleration shock detection; is widely used in mobile devices, such as smart phone slope detection applications. With the emergence of a variety of new applications, accelerometer applications are increasingly widespread, requiring higher performance, more feature-rich. Especially in recent years, to achieve the field of white goods and industrial equipment, vibration detection, physical fitness equipment, such as the impact of the highly anticipated. ZXCT1022E5TA

In this context, Kionix MEMS sensor as a leader in accelerating the expansion of the sensor measurement range, the gyroscope sensor and sensor portfolio to expand the portfolio,

<Details of New Products>

The development of the "KX222 / KX224" with ± 8G, ± 16G, ± 32G of the three detection range, the user can independently set to meet the application requirements of the detection range. Kionix leverages MEMS technology that has been accumulated over many years to achieve MEMS structures with higher acceleration detection than previous products. Vibration detection and shock detection enables acceleration detection up to ± 32G, and ensures extremely low noise levels consistent with previous products .

This product supports a maximum data output rate (ODR) of 25.6kHz, which is about three times higher than that of the conventional acceleration sensor, and has high bandwidth characteristics, which can effectively cope with vibration detection and impact detection. In addition, its structure has more excellent impact resistance and durability, to ensure that products in harsh environments normal work. qqb575r30t1000

ROHM Group will further expand its portfolio of high-precision, small-size sensor products in response to the needs of IT equipment, industrial equipment and IoT markets.
