The AIS226DS features 16-bit analog-to-digital converters.

STMicroelectronics (Carrollton, TX) has introduced a new motion sensor providing accurate measurements of vehicle movement for systems such as adaptive front lights, auto-leveling HID (high-intensity discharge) lamps, inertial brake lights, e-parking brake, advanced anti-theft systems and control of vehicle dynamics. The AIS226DS is a 2-axis in-plane accelerometer that features:

• Capable of sensing acceleration up to ±6 g.
• Resolve tiny angles of incline, smaller than 0.02°.
• A MEMS motion detector built on a silicon chip.
• An interface chip, available with an SPI or I2C output.
• 16-bit analog-to-digital converters.
• A resolution of 0.25 mg (on 2g full-scale).
• High accuracy of ±70 mg.
• A temperature range of –40° to +105°C.
• Offset drift in the range of 0.2mg per C°.
