MEMS oscillators cracking mass market

Adding a keen ability to sense motion, MEMS have started moving into cell phones, the largest single product category in consumer electronics in terms of unit sales. The MEMS market "boomed" with the entry into cell phones, Strauss said.

Nasiri says the MPU-3000 will add "touch anywhere" and other features to cell phones. Users will be able to turn on and off smart phone applications with a touch, and "zoom in and out just by moving your wrist," he said.

MPU-3000 MEMS will address another problem faced by makers of smart phones and tablet computers. More info...
