#MEMS: "Top 12 MEMS Chips Pioneering New Markets"

First MEMS revolutionized the smartphone by allowing it to sense orientation--to switch the screen from portrait to landscape--then to sense motion for gaming and gesture recognition, and next to sense heading for digital compasses and to enhance location-based services even when GPS signals are unavailable like indoors. Now MEMS is poised to pioneer new frontiers in electronics, from automotive to environmental to medical. Here the 12 most significant MEMS chips announced in the past year are recounted, including predictions of how they will change the world of electronics in 2014 and beyond: R.

Sand 9's chip can be over-molded into the customer's own chip package, along with the chip for which it provides the
timing signals.
