Silicon Sensing

Silicon Sensing develops and manufactures precise, ultra-reliable and highly affordable silicon MEMS gyroscopes, accelerometers and inertial systems. An Anglo-Japanese joint venture, we have delivered over 30 million sensors worldwide.

With solutions across the price/performance curve, our products find a home wherever functionality, performance, survivability and integrity are critical. DMU30, our latest high-performance all-MEMS IMU, offers ultra-reliable inertial performance equivalent to fibre optic gyro (FOG)-based solutions, but at lower size, weight and cost. Our DMU11 already delivers low-cost 6-DOF inertial sensing for customers worldwide and we also offer CMS300/390 multi-axis inertial modules, a single-axis gyro and dual-axis accelerometer chip - all supported by an expert team providing comprehensive technical support.
