The World’s First Direct-to-Digital Sensing Technology

Direct-to-Digital Sensing (DDS) is a revolutionary new approach to strain, force, pressure and vibration sensor design. Traditional sensors typically provide analog output that requires conversion to a digital format for data processing. DDS eliminates this digital conversion circuitry and instead offers a “direct-to-digital” output. The result is a sensor that is less expensive, requires no calibration, uses almost zero power and is well suited to high density scaling in large sensor arrays.

DDS MEMS

This video describes the remarkably simple principle behind DDS as well as providing a quick sense of the application space for this type of sensor when implemented using MEMS technology.

DDS Arrays

The inherent simplicity of DDS enables applications requiring huge numbers of inexpensive sensors. This video provides an overview of how DDS can be used to build large arrays of sensors that can be applied across a wide-range of applications from nano to macro scale.
