Overview

MEMS are made up of components between 1 to 100 micrometers in size and MEMS devices generally range in size from 20 micrometers to a millimeter. They usually consist of a central unit that processes data, the microprocessor and several components that interact with the outside such as micro sensors. MEMS has many applications. (1) Inkjet printers, which use piezo-electrics or thermal bubble ejection to deposit ink on paper. (2) Accelerometers in modern cars for a large number of purposes including airbag deployment in collisions. (3) Accelerometers in consumer electronics devices such as game controllers, personal media players / cell phones and a number of digital still cameras. (4) In PCs to park the hard disk head when free-fall is detected, to prevent damage and data loss.

NVM IP for MEMS controller

NeoBit OTP HR, NeoBit PMTP HR or NeoEE Flash HE can be used to record sensor parameters of MEMS chip at CP, FT or system adjustment stage, record values for circuit properties, and trim sensor and circuit resolution at both the CP or FT stage.
