MEMS Accelerometer is a inertial sensor system manufactured by Analog Devices / Honeywell / Various. It features easily replicated due to small size redundancy.
ABOUT MEMS ACCELEROMETER
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems accelerometers measure linear acceleration using microscale silicon structures. They are used in small satellite IMUs, sounding rockets, and as supplementary sensors on larger vehicles. Their small size and low cost enable dense sensor arrays for improved fault tolerance.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Micromachined silicon proof mass on flexures; capacitive or piezoresistive detection of displacement under acceleration
