ST MEMS for Micro HDD Free Fall / Shock Protection ST MEMS for Micro HDD Free Fall / Shock Protection
ST MEMS Sensor is used to sense shock and free-fall in order to prevent the HDD head/media damage by stopping read/write and parking the head before the impact.

LIS3L02 can help GPS systems to record movements and understand the location and pointing direction of the user.
Digital compass compensation
Digital compasses have to be compensated for non horizontality:
Requires a 3 axis magnetic sensor for X, Y, and Z Use a tilt sensor to measure roll (θ θ θ θ) and pitch (φ φ φ φ)
LIS3L02 can do it with high resolution all over the sphere. This “spherical” compass introduce a world of new applications, like navigation assistance while in the pocket.
What is this buildingST MEMS for
When people run, there is Z-axis movement to determine how many steps have been taken and then multiply the number of steps taken by the average stride length. With the distance known and the weight of persons, we can determine the amount of calorie burntConclusions Conclusions
cheaper, smaller, high performance and high reliability sensors
choices for our customers (# of axis vs output mode)
product roadmap well supported by a good patent portfolio.
