ST unveils inclinometer with machine-learning core

STMicroelectronics has unveiled the IIS2ICLX, a high-accuracy, low-power, 2-axis digital inclinometer for use in applications such as industrial automation and structural-health monitoring. The device features a programmable machine-learning core and 16 independent programmable finite state machines that help edge devices to save both power and reduce data transfers to the cloud. With advanced embedded functions, the IIS2ICLX is able to lower system-level power consumption to extend the operation of battery-powered nodes. The sensor's inherent characteristics simplify integration into high-performing products, while minimizing the effort and cost of calibration. Using MEMS accelerometer technology, the IIS2ICLX has a selectable full scale of 0.5/ 1/ 2/ 3g and provides outputs over an I2C or SPI digital interface.
