MEMS sensor components supplier, MEMSIC has signed a global distribution agreement with Digikey to distribute its inertial systems, wireless sensor networks.
As technology tries to fit more and more functionality into smaller and smaller spaces, MEMS has grown exponentially in utilisation,” said Mark Zack, Digi-Key Vice President, Global Semiconductor Product.
“By integrating IC and MEMS functionality, MEMSIC offers our customers a unique product to fill a growing need in their designs. We are pleased to partner with MEMSIC.”
MEMSIC designs and manufactures integrated micro-electromechanical sensors (MEMS) using a standard integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing process. The company combines proprietary thermal-based MEMS technology and advanced analogue mixed-signal processing circuitry into a single chip. This allows the company to produce high-performance accelerometers and other MEMS devices at substantially lower cost than most traditional processes.
John Newton, MEMSIC Vice President of Marketing said: “We are excited to be partnering with Digi-Key, and believe this agreement will significantly expand MEMSIC’s global reach to design engineers looking for the latest in sensor technology.”
