"MEMS: A MEMS IC developer eyes what's in the mix"

Analog Devices Inc. began microelectromechanical-system development in the late 1980s. Since then, ADI has shipped hundreds of millions of MEMS-based accelerometers for automobile applications, and last year it broke into consumer electronics by shipping more than 1 million three-axis accelerometers for Nintendo's Wii video-game controller. ADI envisions MEMS applications in microphones and acoustics, medical diagnostics and drug delivery, RF devices, and ultrahigh-precision measurement and test equipment. Robert Sulouff, director of business development at ADI's dedicated MEMS facility in Cambridge, Mass., recently spoke with EE Times contributor R. Colin Johnson.
