Enables Greater Precision in High-Impact or
High-Speed Motion Analysis
InvenSense, Inc. (NYSE:INVN), the leading provider of
intelligent sensor system on chip (SoC) for Motion and Sound,
announced the world’s widest full scale range (FSR) 6-axis
integrated MEMS (3-axis gyroscope + 3-axis accelerometer) device,
InvenSense’s new ICM-20601, for high-impact sports and wearable
applications. Many of today’s wearable and sports solutions, which
analyze the motion of a user’s golf or tennis swings, soccer ball
kicks, or basketball activities, require higher than currently
available ±2000 dps (degrees per second) FSR for gyroscope and ±16g
FSR for accelerometer to better insure that critical data is not
lost at the point of high-impact or high-speed rotation. The
ICM-20601 SoC offers the smallest size, lowest profile and lowest
power in conjunction with its industry-leading high FSR. With an
extended FSR range of ±4000 dps for gyroscope and ±32g for
accelerometer, the ICM-20601 enables precise analysis of contact
sports applications providing continuous motion sensor data before,
during and after impact providing more accurate feedback to the
end-user and enabling new markets and applications.
“High-impact sports can saturate the gyroscope and accelerometer
at the point of contact or during very high rotation rate.
InvenSense’s new solution helps to mitigate this common issue and
can benefit a wide variety of applications, including concussion
analysis,” said Eitan Medina, Vice President of Marketing and
Product Management at InvenSense. “As InvenSense continues to
improve technology and performance, the ICM-20601 with its
unrivaled FSR and low noise will enable OEMs and developers of new
sensor applications to collect data during the most critical
juncture of a golf or tennis swing, allowing continuous motion data
to be streamed from the motion pod for accurate motion analysis
processing.”
Wearables and sports applications are emerging markets for
motion and audio sensor devices, and the market is expected to grow
to 190M units by 2019 as greater sensor intelligence is
incorporated into a wide variety of new products. InvenSense is
currently a leading supplier to these markets, with design success
in a number of applications such as smartwatches, activity
trackers, smart glasses, HMDs, and smart headsets. The ICM-20601 is
available in mass production quantities now. For additional
information and datasheets about the ICM-20601, please visit our

Product Specifications
The ICM-20601 flexible programmable gyroscope FSR ranges of ±500
dps, ±1,000 dps, ±2,000 dps and ±4,000 dps, coupled with the
programmable accelerometer FSR ranges of ±4g, ±8g, ±16g and ±32g,
allow the OEM to pick the best motion range for any activity or
context. The ICM-20601 SoC includes integrated self-test and offset
temperature compensation, delivering ease of integration and
consistent performance. Other industry-leading features include a
3x3x0.75mm plastic 16-pin LGA package, on-chip 16-bit ADCs,
outstanding rate noise performance of only 0.013 dps/√Hz, built-in
FIFO, programmable digital filters, and programmable interrupts.
These industry-leading SoC’s are available with I2C and high-speed
SPI serial interfaces, along with a flexible operating range of
1.71V to 3.45V.
