history
Kionix was founded in 1993 with the focus on silicon-based micromechanical acceleration sensors. In November 2009, the Japanese semiconductor company Rohm Co., Ltd. Kionix.
Products
Kionix supplies microelectromechanical sensors such as 3-axis acceleration sensors and yaw rate sensors ( gyroscopes ) including a mixed-signal interface semiconductor component that processes and evaluates the sensor data. Kionix products and technologies include:
- Acceleration sensors in the low- g or mid-g range with one, two or three axes;
- Yaw rate sensors for the x, y or z axis
- Power management options and self-test functions
The electrical connection to the sensors is implemented either through digital I²C or SPI interfaces and / or analog outputs.
