Kionix, part of the Rohm group, has introduced a family of medium-g, tri-axis analogue accelerometers. Two versions are available, the KX220-1071/2 accelerometers which provide +/-20g and +/-40g ranges respectively. Maximum supported bandwidths range from 4.5kHz to 8kHz. Both sensors have built-in self-test functions, consume only 0.25mA at 3.3V and are delivered in 10-pin 3mm x ...
