STMicroelectronics FC30: 3-D orientation sensor uses click/double-click detection

Using MEMS technology, the FC30 3-D orientation sensor embeds 3-D orientation functions and click/double-click detection, allowing integration of mouse-button controls. The device’s three external interrupt lines allow developers to build automatic portrait/landscape-recognition applications. Available in a 3×5×0.9-mm LGA-14 package, the FC30 orientation sensor costs $1 (high volumes).
