Hi,
In Digikey search “accelerometer”, and sort the results by price from low to high (registered user), MMA7660 turns out to be the No.1 cheap product among its total 661 accelerometers’ stock, costing
MMA7660FCT $1.21
MMA7660FCR1 $0.67
for each unit.
I have two questions on MMA7660:

Hello Bob,
According to the Freescale website, this part has the classification of "maturity/saturation" which means that it is still active.
The T suffix refers to "tray" packaging, whereas the R1 suffix refers to "tape and reel" packaging. You are actually comparing the unit price for purchace of a single piece, to that for a reel of 1000 pieces.

Mac

mac,
I found the information at http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MMA7660FC&tab=Buy_Parametric_Tab&from.... Its "status" is "active", which means this is currently production.
"Product maturity" should mean the type is already out of experimental phase and is a mature product.
But what does "saturation" mean here?
