In summary, accelerometers enable a wide variety of applications in medical, consumer, industrial, and automotive systems. Although only a few accelerometer applications were discussed, such as tap detection and device orientation, many more exist. Activity monitoring for pedometers, vibration detection and control in industrial equipment, and hill hold in automotive are a few more examples for accelerometer use. Kionix’s accelerometers consume very little power, have high resolution, and come in small packages.
