CEATEC 2008: Virtus Launches First Sensor Product
Virtus Advanced Sensors, Inc. has unveiled a three-axis analog accelerometer, the first product of its multi-axis motion sensor family to meet the growing demand for motion sensors in cost-sensitive consumer electronics.
The VAS340A accelerometer includes a sensing element manufactured using Virtus’ proprietary technology in an ultra-compact plastic package. The sensing element has a single proof mass structure capable of measuring accelerations in X, Y, and Z directions.
