Silicon Designs (SDI)

Silicon Designs Inc. was founded outside Seattle, Washington, in 1983 with the goal of improving existing MEMS capacitive accelerometer design standards.At that time, industrial-grade MEMS capacitive accelerometers were bulky, compact, and expensive..Silicon Designs is committed to developing accelerometers that are more compact, more sensitive, stronger, more efficient, and more affordable.Silicon Designs has since expanded the capabilities of these accelerometers, introduced a digital series, designed new three-axis MEMS capacitive accelerometer modules, and developed inertial navigation sensors for companies around the world..

Silicon Designs has grown steadily over the years, but its core competency has always been MEMS capacitive accelerometers.Continuous R&D has led to many breakthrough technologies and processes, and this dedication to continuous improvement is part of SDI's continued growth and success..The concept of "better, stronger, smaller, cheaper" has been maintained to this day.In addition to its exceptional products, Silicon Designs attributes its success to the people behind the products.From engineers to production staff to managers, every employee is empowered, valued and recognized for their hard work and commitment to excellence.Many employees have been with Silicon Designs for over 15 years, creating a level of teamwork and expertise that ensures absolute quality..
