STMicroelectronics announced (11 June) a new 3D orientation sensor, the FC30, which it claims will be the first in a new family on MEMS (microelectromechanical) sensors. The company claims that the new device combines the ability to sense both 3D orientation and mouse click detection, which will allow developers to combine mouse/button controls with orientation sensing.

STMicroelectronics said that the FC30, a 14-pin LGA device measuring 3 x 5 x 0.9mm, has a low power drain (together with an external power-down control) and three external interrupt lines, making it a candidate for installation in portable devices requiring applications such as portrait/landscape recognition.
STMicroelectronics, a large producer of MEMS products, stated that the FC30 will shortly be available for approximately USD1.00 per unit, but that samples for development are now being released.
