PCB Piezotronics Releases New 60,000 G MEMS Piezoresistive Triaxial Shock Accelerometer

March 1, 2013, Depew, NY – PCB Piezotronics, Inc., introduces a new triaxial High-G MEMS, Piezoresistive Triaxial Shock Accelerometer. The unit features an unique 45 degree package orientation, with DC response, damping and mechanical stops for over-range protection. PCB Model 3503A1060KG contains three silicon MEMS sensing elements. The sensor is designed for shock testing, and is packaged in atitanium housing, with two through-holes for 4-40 mounting screws and has a measuring range of 60,000 G and minimum zero-shift after a shock. The new sensor compliments PCB’s 20,000 G triaxial Model 3503A1020KG.

The accelerometer is supplied with an integral cable with options of pigtails or a connector termination for use with PCB® Model 482C27 and 483C28 bridge conditioners. The conditioners feature low noise operation and simplicity of use. Each channel is selectable between two input types: Bridge/MEMS or ICP®/Voltage. For technical information, please contact Bob Metz, Product Manager, at 866-816-8892 at or via e-mail: bmetz@pcb.com

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
