Handheld GPS diagram

Benefitting from increase in processor speed, MEMS technology and advanced manufacturing process, portable entertainment & navigation systems have come a long way since their inception. These systems have evolved from those with single function (audio playback) to more complicated ones which boast diverse software such as navigation, smart OS, and mobile games to provide users a better experience. The main contributor behind this would be MEMS sensors which feature high precision, digital output and small footprint. Hence, it is now possible for designers to integrate different types of MEMS sensors into smarter systems with smaller size and less power consumption. [+MORE]

Accelerometers and gyroscopes are used to replace traditional push buttons on joysticks by detecting human bodies’ movement to control games, giving gamers a totally different experience. Atmosphere pressure sensors and electronic compasses are used in personal navigation systems. Capacitive touch sensors have recently replaced traditional keypads to produce smaller and easy-to-use devices. Ambient light sensor and optic proximity sensors enable displays to adjust brightness based on ambient light condition in order to provide a better readability and save battery power. Temperature sensors are used to monitor temperature of batteries to prevent over heated batteries explode. Most of these sensors have low power consumption and digital output and can be connected to processors directly without the need of analog front end and thereby making the complete system simple and energy efficient. Additionally, portable entertainment & navigation systems adopt microphone sensors to implement audio recording function and image sensors to provide camera function.

MEMS sensors are still going towards the target of microminiaturization, higher precision and lower power consumption, aiming to enable more functions on a single portable entertainment & navigation systems.[-LESS]

Image	Description

	LFSTBEB845X Evaluation Board for MMA845XQ Freescale The LFSTBEB845X is an evaluation board for the Freescale MMA845X family of 3-axis high performance, high functionality low-g accelerometers

	XL_STAR S08 Freescale / element14 The XL_STAR board allows a user to develop, download and debug up to 64KBytes of 'C' or assembler object code for the MC9S08MM128 MCU using CodeWarrior for MCUs V6.3 Special Edition, a professional IDE, for just the cost of the board. Connected to the MM128 MCU, via I2C, is the MMA8451Q a three axes accelerometer. The board is pre-programmed with firmware that uses the MM128 MCU and MMA8451Q accelerometer to drive a star array of LEDs.

	STEVAL-MKI014V1 STMicroelectronics The STEVAL-MKI014V1 is a demonstration kit designed to provide the user with a complete, ready-to-use platform for the evaluation of the LIS344ALH.

	STEVAL-MKI062V2 INEMO MEMS Sensor Board STMicroelectronics The STEVAL-MKI062V2 is the second generation of the iNEMO™ module family. It combines accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers with pressure and temperature sensors to provide 3-axis sensing of linear, angular and magnetic motion, complemented with temperature and barometer/altitude readings, representing the new ST 10-DOF (degrees of freedom) platform.

	83859 Gyro/Pressure Sensors Evaluation Kit Sensonor Technologies AS The SAR100 Gyro Sensor Evaluation Platform (EVP) is a low cost evaluation tool providing rapid sensor measurements in an office desk environment.

	MCP9800DM-PCTL Thermal Sensor Kit Microchip The MCP9800 Thermal Sensor PICtail™ Demo Board demonstrates how to interface the MCP9800 to a PICmicro(R) microcontroller using the PICkit™ 1 Flash Starter Kit as a platform.

	MCP9700DM-PCTL Microchip The MCP9700 Temperature-to-Voltage Converter PICtail™ Demo Board demonstrates how to interface the MCP9700 to a microcontroller. This can be used by the system designer as an example of how to integrate an analogue temperature sensor into systems.
