New and Tiny

I was too busy for most of the Embedded Systems conference to go out and really study the exhibit hall but I did find a few things interesting.

For those of you working in the sensor arena, I ran across an interesting tiny little motion sensor. It's only 6.9mm x 3.3mm and is used to detect tilt and vibration. It's really easy to use to. It basically operates as an SPST switch. Stead, it's closed, motion, it's opening and closing.

We were also told about a 1x1mm BGA package with eight balls underneath. The manufacturer will be sending us some more information and I'll write up something about it when I get the information.
