21ic News STMicroelectronics (ST) launched a new line of gyroscope products that bring better optical image stabilization to smartphones and digital cameras. This article refers to the address: http:// Optical image stabilization has become an important feature of today's smartphones and digital cameras. By adjusting the lens in real time to correct the adverse effects of camera shake on imaging, it can greatly improve the sharpness of the image, especially for taking pictures under the condition of insufficient light source, because the exposure time is long when the light is insufficient, and the shaking of the hand when shooting The image is blurred. In addition, to ensure maximum reliability, the new 2-axis (L2G3IS) and 3-axis (L3G3IS) gyroscopes operate at a resonant frequency of approximately 20 kHz. Customers may clean the device before installing the device, and the high resonant frequency and its mechanical structure prevent the ultrasonic cleaning device (typically operating at approximately 30 kHz) from damaging the sensor. Fabio Pasolini, general manager of STMicroelectronics' motion MEMS products division, said: "In addition to completely changing the user interface with intuitive gesture recognition, MEMS gyroscopes bring optical image stabilization and other advantages to handheld digital camera devices. With the LxG3IS series With the introduction of the product, ST's market-proven MEMS manufacturing process and supply chain are applied to gyroscopes with image stabilization to further improve image quality." Other key features of the new product include ±65 dps / ±130 dps full scale, SPI digital interface, embedded temperature sensor, and low bandwidth and high pass filters with integrated bandwidth options. The operating supply voltage is 2.4V to 3.6V and is available in an LGA-16 3x3.5x1 mm package. According to the latest report from market research firm IHS, 2012 sales of MEMS chips and sensors from STMicroelectronics totaled approximately $800 million, an increase of more than 19%. Mobile phones and tablets are the largest market for MEMS motion sensors, and STMicroelectronics has a 48% market share, more than double the closest competitor. As the manufacturer's preferred MEMS one-stop supplier, ST has a broad portfolio of MEMS accelerometers, gyroscopes, pressure sensors, magnetometers and microphones that integrate different sensors and signals into one multi-sensor module. Processing, control functions, sensor fusion algorithms and wireless interfaces. As a recognized leader in the market, STMicroelectronics' MEMS technology research and development is also at the forefront of the market, with more than 800 MEMS-related patents. STMicroelectronics leads the development of sensor technology to be intelligent and independent, and will open up new fields in many fields such as consumer electronics, healthcare, and environmental science. ST's new 2-axis (L2G3IS) and 3-axis (L3G3IS) gyroscopes are available now. Wuxi Lerin New Energy Technology Co.,Ltd. , https://www.lerin-tech.com
