Silicon Sensing Releases New Zenith Accelerometer
Silicon Sensing latest accelerometer, Zenith, has been released to the marine market.Zenith (CAS150/170) is a closed-loop, single-axis micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometer designed for critical marine applications. It combines low-noise performance with low SWap-C, delivering sustained linear-acceleration measurement for many applications, including long-endurance or fast-changing operations in the harshest surface and sub-surface environments.Zenith combines low noise spectral density for superior signal clarity, with a 14g dynamic range, enabling accurate data capture in demanding
Silicon Sensing Launches New Gyroscope
Silicon Sensing has launched its latest gyro, the CRG21. The CRG21 is Silicon Sensing’s latest compact micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscope. This closed-loop, single-axis rate sensor is a direct replacement for the company’s CRG20 gyro. Engineered to operate in harsh conditions, this single chip, fully integrated digital solution also minimizes space and weight requirements.Available in multiple rate ranges and bandwidths to meet a wide range of requirements, CRG21 has an identical footprint to CRG20 for a ‘plug and play’ retrofit. At just 9.5 x 9 x 3.
