SDI specializes in industrial grade plug-&-play capacitive MEMS accelerometers
Silicon Designs specializes in industrial grade accelerometers with integrated amplification and an extremely rugged design. As the OEM of its accelerometer chips and modules, SDI is able to ensure quality, provide custom design, and still keep prices low. SDI’s accelerometers offer full scale sensitivity from 2g to 20,000 g. Within the standard range (2 to 400g), most accelerometers can continue in spec. operation after exposure of up to 10,000 g and limited temperature exposure above 200°C.
SDI’s chips and modules are used in equipment and part calibration; crash detection; stability testing; vibration analysis in race cars, shipping containers, and airplane engines; and monitoring structural integrity in bridges, hydroelectric power generators, & wind farm turbines. SDI’s miniature accelerometer technology is currently used by the US Military, NASA, and in the automotive, transportation, and agricultural industries.
