Semiconductor maker STMicroelectronics announced today a new generation of geo-magnetic MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems).
ST's newest geo-magnetic module (LSM303DLM) is said to address energy efficiency on both the chip and the system level and its operating power consumption of 360micro-A represents a 50% reduction over devices currently in production.
According to STMicro, “the device boasts a 30% increase in magnetic sensing resolution over its predecessor, the LSM303DLH.“

According to STMicro, “the device boasts a 30% increase in magnetic sensing resolution over its predecessor, the LSM303DLH.“
The module is pin-to-pin and software-compatible with the previous-generation device, so customers can easily 'hot swap' and protect their investment in application development.
The new module is available immediately, with unit pricing at $1.95 for volumes in the range of 100,000 pieces.
