Micro tilt and Vibration sensor

The micro tilt and vibration sensor is used for the detection of slight movements, vibration and orientation or tilt by means of a mobile micro sphere. The ball bridges two contacts
reducing the resistance between the two external connection pads from several mega ohms (> 30 MOhm) to below 100 Ohms. The sensor is fully passive, requires no signal conditioning, and operates with currents as low as 0.2 μA.

With the aid of tool-specific evaluation electronics, the micro tilt and vibration sensor controls the operation of movement-sensitive devices. The micro tilt and vibration sensor is
utilised for converting many systems to environmentally friendly devices by implementing wake-up and power-down logic to conserve battery power and bringing energy consumption to a minimum, pushing the availability of green technology and green electronics into new areas of design and application. 

The sensor is typically used for wake up and power down of battery operated devices depending on motion and/or orientation of the sensor, e.g. applications such as bike computers, remote controls, electronic lock systems, RFID transponders, GPS tracking systems, wireless sensor networks, illuminated dog`s collars, access control systems, data loggers, bicycle lights.
