Kionix

Kionix is a company that designs and manufactures MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) inertial sensors. Founded in 1993, Kionix is a subsidiary of ROHM Semiconductor. Their primary products include accelerometers and gyroscopes, which are used in a wide range of applications. These sensors detect motion, tilt, and vibration.

The technology developed by Kionix enables devices to sense and respond to their physical environment. Their MEMS sensors are characterized by their small size, low power consumption, and high performance. These attributes make them suitable for integration into portable electronics, automotive systems, industrial equipment, and medical devices.

Kionix's accelerometers measure linear acceleration along one or more axes, while their gyroscopes measure angular velocity. These sensors are crucial components for functionalities such as image stabilization in cameras, navigation systems, motion tracking in gaming, anti-lock braking systems in vehicles, and fall detection in wearable devices. The company focuses on innovation in sensor technology to meet the evolving demands of the electronics industry.
