Recently I’ve noticed an increasing emphasis on reliability in automotive electronics devices and systems. Perhaps I’m simply more aware of the topic, but I prefer to think that engineers are paying more attention to reliability, as they should.
Take Analog Devices Inc. (ADI), for example. This week it launched a third-generation automotive-qualified MEMS (microelectromechanical system) gyroscope that … Read More

STMicroelectronics said this week that it will increase its MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) production capacity to more than three million sensors a day by the end of 2011 based on “exploding” demand from industrial, healthcare, and automotive customers.
Automotive applications for MEMS devices include airbags, navigation systems, electronic stability control, and tire pressure monitoring systems. … Read More
