Kionix, Inc. is a global MEMS inertial sensor manufacturer based in Ithaca, NY, USA. Kionix offers high-performance, low-power accelerometers, gyroscopes, and 6-axis combination sensors plus comprehensive software libraries that support a full range of sensor combinations, operating systems and hardware platforms. Leading consumer, automotive, health and fitness and industrial companies worldwide use Kionix sensors and total system solutions to enable motion-based functionality in their products.
Kionix's newest product innovations include the ultra-thin KXCJB accelerometer at only 0.45mm high, the high-sensitivity, low-latency, low-power KMX62 magnetometer-accelerometer, the 32g high bandwidth KX222 and KX224 accelerometers, and the industry-leading low power KXG07 and KXG08 six-axis accelerometer-gyroscopes.
Kionix utilizes a deep-silicon, proprietary MEMS technology known as plasma micromachining for its high-volume production. To see an example of this technology, please watch our plasma etch video that shows how a MEMS inertial sensor takes on its form. This technology enables Kionix to produce MEMS products that are unmatched in performance and manufacturing cost. As such, the Company holds an extensive portfolio of licensed and internally-developed intellectual property.
