DS Ingegneria Selects MEMSIC's Thermal Accelerometer For Use In Their OEM Vehicle Anti-Theft Systems.


N. ANDOVER, Mass. -- DS Ingegneria Uses MEMSIC's Thermal Accelerometer accelerometer

Instrument that measures acceleration. Because it is difficult to measure acceleration directly, the device measures the force exerted by restraints placed on a reference mass to hold its position fixed in an accelerating body.
 in OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  Car Alarm with Mercedes Benz Mercedes Benz

MEMSIC, the leading provider of CMOS-based MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s.  accelerometers/sensors, announced that it has been selected to supply its thermal accelerometers product to DS Ingegneria for use in an OEM vehicle anti-theft system An anti-theft system is any device or method used to prevent or deter the unauthorized appropriation of items considered valuable. Theft is one of the most common and oldest criminal behaviours.  for Mercedes Benz. The accelerometer will be used to detect tilt and motion on a number of Mercedes Benz models. When unwarranted motion is detected, the anti-theft system will transmit a notice to the owner via a cellular GSM link and the vehicle will be tracked via GPS.

"Being TS16949 certified shows MEMSIC's commitment in maintaining the stringent quality standards required in the OEM automotive market," said MEMSIC CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

. "Our highly reliable thermal accelerometer product does not require special manufacturing systems and it has a failure rate of 1.75ppm through May 2004. Once again MEMSIC has demonstrated that in demanding applications, MEMSIC accelerometers provide the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry."

"Reliability and performance are critical for the components that are selected for automotive anti-theft systems," said Mr. Amelio Pettinari, Managing Director, for DS Ingegneria. "MEMSIC's low initial offset and over temperature performance combined with MEMSIC's industry leading FIT rate enabled us to meet the stringent quality and performance requirements of Mercedes-Benz."

 and Fujitsu, MEMSIC has reduced operational costs by outsourcing nearly 90% of its manufacturing, resulting in products that offer the highest reliability, meet the most stringent quality standards, and offer customers a significant lower cost of ownership vs. competing technologies. MEMSIC also recently opened its new 45,000 square foot facility in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China. About a two-hour drive from Shanghai, this new facility has a manufacturing capacity of 3M units per month.

As the only dual axis accelerometer fabricated on a monolithic CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes.  process, MEMSIC's cost effective products are advancing into many new consumer applications. MEMSIC technology is being used for virtually any application that requires the sensing of motion, acceleration, vibration or tilt.

About MEMSIC, Inc.

MEMSIC, Inc. is a semi fabless IC company that specializes in MEMS (Micro Electric Mechanical Systems) ICs (Integrated Circuits Integrated circuits

Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1.
). MEMSIC has developed and brought to market a unique CMOS-based accelerometer that contains no moving parts. MEMSIC's product combines the sensor and associated electronics onto a single chip that is manufactured on a standard, sub-micron CMOS process. By breaking the traditional technology barriers in cost and reliability, MEMSIC technology turns traditionally expensive and not-so-reliable MEMS accelerometers into highly affordable standard IC products with the highest long-term reliability and performance available today in the IC industry.
