Yole Developpement is pleased to publish the reverse costing report of the SD746 MEMS from SensorDynamics, a division of Maxim Integrated Products performed by System Plus Consulting .

The SD746 combines a 3D accelerometer (manufactured by Kionix) with a 3D gyroscope and signal conditioning circuitry in a 6x6x1.2 mm³ QFN package.The SD746 IMU is designed for use in industrial and consumer applications.

This combo sensor measures the angular rate and acceleration along all three axes. The SD746 combines a 3D accelerometer (manufactured by Kionix) with a 3D gyroscope and signal conditioning circuitry in a 6x6x1.2 mm³ QFN package. SensorDynamics, a division of Maxim Integrated Products, targets industrial and consumer applications with this low-power inertial sensor.”
