| 8 Mbit/sec and the highest shock rating of 700 G/1 ms. Current desktop hard disk drives typically have only a 200-G shock rating, which is equal to a 1-inch drop. The need for highly reliable and robust accelerometers is growing and MEMSIC is demonstrating its leadership in the industry for the third consecutive year with the highest shock rating and single digit PPM failure rate compared to the orders of magnitude higher PPM failure rate by competing technologies. |
