What is MEMS? Analog Devices Inc.

Microelectromechanical systems, or MEMS, is a type of technology that integrates mechanical and electronic elements on a microscopic scale. This technology can be found in a wide range of devices, such as smartphones and wearables, and in applications including automotive and medical.

With the help of Analog Devices, we explain how a MEMS accelerometer works, and how MEMS sensors and devices are used in a wide range of applications.
