ST’s eCompass Modules raise the bar in power consumption
As per a recent update, STMicroelectronics has been an early bird in introducing its LSM303D accelerometer and magnetometer combo module to Xiaomi (Mi1S) and other emerging mobile phone makers in China.
LSM303C which is a part of ST’s LSM303 eCompass family has been selected as “Device of the Year” by the MEMS Industry Group.
“In smartphones and other mobile devices, every milliwatt matters. The ST device meets minimal size constraints and allows significant reductions in power consumption without compromising performance in other areas. These advantages help manufacturers to provide mobile devices that meet customer expectations while minimizing the drain on the world’s resources,” said Benedetto Vigna, Executive Vice-President & General Manager, Analog, MEMS and Sensors Group, STMicroelectronics.
Vigna added, “Our MEMS technology continues to raise the bar in every quarter: power consumption, performance, price, and physical size. This, in turn, allows dynamic new companies such as Xiaomi to raise the bar in their own markets.”
In addition to being the leading supplier of MEMS sensors, ST has underpinned its continued strong leadership with over 900 MEMS-related patents granted or pending worldwide.
