ADI’s new RF-MEMS switch technology is enabling faster, smaller, lower power, more reliable instrumentation equipment by resolving multiple performance limitations commonly attributed to relays, whose origins date to the earliest days of the electric telegraph.

SiTime Corp., a MEMS and analog semiconductor company and a wholly owned subsidiary of MegaChips Corp., introduced an innovative Elite Platform™ encompassing Super-TCXOs™ (temperature compensated oscillators) and oscillators. These precision devices are engineered to solve long-standing timing problems in telecommunications and networking equipment. With the Elite Platform, communications equipment can deliver the highest performance, best reliability and highest quality of service, even in the presence of environmental stressors.

DelfMEMS announced that its twelve throw, RF-MEMS ohmic contact switch design has just passed the one billion test cycles milestone and is still going strong.

STMicroelectronics announced its Open.MEMS program to boost time-to-development with quick and easy single-node evaluation licensing, which went live on November 11, 2014, and will be expanded regularly with additional low-level drivers, middleware/libraries and application-layer code.

 STMicroelectronics has shipped 5 billion MEMS sensors, which combined with its total of more than 3 billion micro-actuators shipped, is claimed to demonstrate that ST is the only company with the expertise to cover the full range of micro-machined silicon devices. 

STMicroelectronicshas launched the first iNEMO^®Design Challenge in Italy, inviting students and engineers to design innovative applications built around the company’s iNEMO smart multi-sensor technology.

Sand 9 Inc. became the first micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) company to achieve the stringent low-noise, high-stability and harsh environmental requirements for precision timing in communications infrastructure, industrial and military applications. As the first product based on Sand 9’s patented Temperature Compensated MEMS Oscillator (TCMO™) platform – which features the industry’s highest-performance MEMS architecture – the TM651 offers system designers a better alternative to existing quartz and MEMS-based timing solutions.

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI)  introduced a wireless vibration sensing system that allows industrial systems operators to remotely monitor production equipment health, improve system performance, and reduce maintenance costs. The new networked system includes the ADIS16229 iSensor(R) wireless vibration sensor node, which combines dual-axis digital MEMs (micro-electro mechanical systems) acceleration sensing with advanced frequency-domain and time-domain signal processing.

Cavendish Kinetics, a leading provider of RF MEMS solutions for dramatically improving connectivity between wireless devices and cell towers, announced availability of production samples of its tunable RF capacitors to key strategic partners.
