What Is an SI Value?
The SI value (or spectral intensity) is equivalent to the magnitude of
the destructive energy imposed by seismic motion on structures.
The SI value, which is the average value of the integrated velocity
response spectrum, is an index that expresses the destructive force of
seismic motion and is highly correlated with the damage to structures.

The D7S can be embedded in essentially any device thanks to
its ultra-small size and ultra-low consumption to contribute to
package downsizing.

Comparison of SI Values and Acceleration
As an index, the SI value has a higher
correlation with the seismic intensity scale
of Japan than the maximum acceleration
does. This makes it possible to make
judgments that accurately reflect structural
damage.

The SI value correlates
highly with the measured

calculated easily, so it is
used by major gas
companies and railroads too.
