Things will be the main driving force to promote the industrial development of MEMS sensors

MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems, MEMS) is the integration of microelectronic technology in mechanical engineering together with an industrial technique , which operate within the range of micrometers. Early application of MEMS common in automotive electronics, medical electronics and office automation needs induction field devices. In 2007 , 2008 smartphones kind of consumer electronics products after asked the city , MEMS sensors are increasingly being used . With the rise of the new wearable device can be applied , the future of networking technology and related applications will be the main driving force to promote the MEMS industry.

MEMS sensor current market demand mainly from mobile phones and other consumer electronics applications in order to meet the fast growing market demand , the recent Bosch (Bosch Sensortec) launched a new electronic compass sensor -BMC156. BMC156 is an integrated three-axis geomagnetic sensor and three-axis acceleration sensor in one of the sensors to BMC150 based electronic compass module , and an acceleration sensor is pin compatible with the Bosch Sensortec 2 × 2 square millimeters . Smartphone developers can easily design an upgrade to the existing acceleration sensors fully functional electronic compass design or plan to simplify electronic compass acceleration sensor for the program only , thus greatly reducing the design work, and shorten time to market.

Mr. Barry Bo , president of Bosch Asia Pacific (Leopold Beer) told correspondents , BMC156 primarily designed and developed for Chinese customers. "BMC156 can provide faster and more efficient designs and offer more competitive prices, in line with China's consumer electronics market, customers' design needs . BMC156 electronic compass sensor solutions , mainly for consumer electronics, such as smart phones.

To determine the orientation of the map or to determine the direction of East and West , need BMC156 electronic compass sensor solutions to implement the application . BMC156 major Bosch FlipCore technology , as well as an acceleration sensor technology integrated in the same package , and its low power operation features can provide high resolution and wide measurement range , "Mr. Barry said Bo .

In addition BMC156, Bosch also offers packages BSX3.5 proven solution that provides simulation gyroscope to achieve , as well as high-performance electronic compass sensor , can be applied to current and future smartphones networking applications . It 's so special is that pin 2 × 2 pin compatible with the acceleration sensor , when customers upgrade after the design of the sensor to the electronic compass, accelerometer just to get up , then go down the electronic compass sensors , hardware and software do not need to do any special changes , you can quickly realize electronic compass function. This design also makes maximum flexibility on the platform .
