ÅAC Microtec has developed a MEMS sensor that detects and measures extreme accelerations with high precision.  The sensor can measures acceleration perpendicular to the mounting direction.

The sensor design and sensor range is customizable. Contact us today for a quotation and design requirements.

Summary of the Ã…AC IVS sensor (extreme acceleration sensor):

• Sensor is in production
• 2.0 V to 10 V single voltage supply
• Analogue output
• Temperature compensated by design
• Detects and measures accelerations up to 40.000 g with high accuracy
• Shock tolerance up to 150.000 g
• Not sensitive to disturbances in lateral motion
• Standard µBGA interface
• Dimension: 3.36 x 1.86 x 1.4 mm

The physcial design and shape of the extreme acceleration MEMS sensor (IVS) is shown in the figure below. ÅAC's proprietary and robust through silicon via (TSV), XiVIA® technology is used for 3D stacking.
