The industry's first thin full-functional tri-axis accelerometers

In addition to its thin compact design, the KX112 is one of the most full-featured accelerometers available. With 16-bits of resolution and excellent stability, it features built-in digital algorithms for detecting motion for power management, free fall for device protection or warranty monitoring, an orientation engine for portrait/landscape detection and tap/double-tap for user interface functionality.

It also incorporates Kionix'sFlexSet technology, allowing fine granularity for balancing power and performance. Most notably, the KX112 has the largest FIFO/FILO buffer available on a mass-produced accelerometer. With 2kB available, the rest of the system can sleep while it's recording more data than any other accelerometer on the market, enabling superior power-savings and event context.

The KX112 features user-selectable g range and output data rate, digital high-pass filter outputs and internal voltage regulator. It also features enhanced integrated directional Tap/Double-Tap and device-orientation algorithms, user-configurable wake-up function and free fall engine, as well as digital I2C up to 3.4MHz and factory programmed offset and sensitivity. It provides low power consumption with a self-test function, as well as lead-free solderability, excellent temperature performance and high survivability.

The KXCJB is the thinnest accelerometer available in any footprint, measuring just 3x3x0.45mm thick. It supports the drive for thinner smartphones, tablets, PCs and hard disk drives as well as compact wearables such as activity monitors and smartwatches. The form-factor is half the thickness of most accelerometers on the market. This brings the ability to embed motion detection and motion sensing capabilities into a host of devices such as badges, access cards, and payment/smart cards, while also opening up possibilities of maintaining low profiles when mounting on or in glass, plastic and other thin structures.

The KXCJB features an ultra-thin design at just 0.45mm, as well as featuring a RoHS compliant, internal voltage regulator and 8-, 12- and 14-bit resolution. The tri-axis accelerometers also offer a self-test function, programmable interrupt engine and user-confrigurable motion wake-up function. It also supplies voltage range: 1.8-3.6V, ±2, ±4 or ±8g user-selectable ranges and I2C digital communication interface.

The KXCJB provides low current consumption: less than 1µA in standby, 10µA at low resolution and 135µA at high resolution

"Among the many innovations and numerous firsts in the company's history, Kionix was first to develop the tri-axis accelerometer in 2004, followed by introduction of the first ‘thin' 0.7mm tri-axis accelerometer in 2013," said Nader Sadrzadeh, President and CEO, Kionix. "We're constantly pushing physical and technological barriers. Our proprietary technology has allowed us to break boundaries once again to introduce a new lineup of full-featured ‘ultra-thin' low-power accelerometers."
