Colibrys Launches Worlds Best Open-Loop MEMS Accelerometer Displacing Traditional
High Cost, Fragile Solutions
Colibrys confirm launching today the IRIS accelerometer family, world?s best openloop MEMS accelerometer, to displace traditional vibrating quartz and
electromechanical solutions.
Neuchâtel, Switzerland, May 27 2009 -- Colibrys confirm launching today the IRIS
accelerometer family, world?s best open-loop MEMS accelerometer, to displace
traditional vibrating quartz and electromechanical solutions.
MEMS establishes a
new competition to historical high-end motion sensors, as typically offered by
Honeywell, by pushing the boundaries of its performances, offering higher
robustness at reduced cost in safety critical and harsh environment applications.
The first product released based on IRIS technology is RS9010.
A.
This ±10g sensor
specifically designed for AHRS (Attitude Heading and Reference Systems) and mid
accuracy navigation application offers an order of magnitude improvement over
existing leading MEMS technology and now seriously compete with traditional
vibrating quartz and electromechanical solutions.
This product uses an open loop
electronic interface, specifically designed for long term stability.
The enhanced
sensor design provides an overall composite repeatability of bias better than 1.
5mg
(1?) for ±10g and a scale factor repeatability of 500ppm (1?).
The vibration
rectification coefficient is 150?g/g².
?RS9010 will enable the AHRS designers to obtain excellent performance at reduced
cost while benefitting from the inherently rugged MEMS sensor, which open new
application opportunities and simplifies sensor handling during the manufacturing
process? commented Soheil Habibi, Business Development Manager for Colibrys
inertial sensors.
He added further ?IRIS is a big step forward in realizing our vision to
commercializing ?g stability accelerometers with high shock resistance and high
operating temperature, displacing the established vibrating quartz and
electromechanical solutions.
We believe that in near future, we will have ?g
stability accelerometers and high stability gyros based on MEMS technology,
enabling a wide range of existing and new applications in the Defense and Aerospace
markets?.

About MEMS Technology
MEMS (Micro-Electrical-Mechanical Systems) are highly miniaturized devices that can
realize a number of physical sensing functions including fluidics, optics and
mechanics on a silicon chip using techniques similar to traditional integrated
circuit process technology.
MST (Microsystems) merge these sensing and or actuating
functions combining them with electronic signal process chips to create highly
miniaturized systems that enable enhanced levels of perception, control and
performance.
