ICM-20645 SoC Features Ultra-Low Power,
AlwaysOn Context-Aware Motion Hub
InvenSense, Inc. (NYSE: INVN), the leading provider of
intelligent sensor solutions, announced the 6-axis ICM-20645 MEMS
SoC, optimized to support on-chip new functions introduced in
Android Lollipop. The ICM-20645 incorporates the newest version of
InvenSense’s patented Digital Motion Processor™ (DMP) to off-load
new Android 5.0 AlwaysOn features such as on-chip activity
classifier, tilt sensor, device context gestures, and wake-up
sensors. The integrated hardware and software solution includes a
gyroscope, accelerometer and DMP, targeting next-generation
smartphones, tablets, fitness devices, watches, and wearables that
run Android 5.0 and Android Wear.
The InvenSense ICM-20645 complete embedded motion hub solution
is designed to offload the complex protocol processing and event
filtering necessary for the new sensor functions in Android
Lollipop, enabling:
- Lowest-power, highest-performance
6-axis (accelerometer + gyroscope) sensor subsystem
- Background run-time calibration
- AlwaysOn activity classifier (walk,
run, still, vehicle, bike)
- Management of Wake-Up and Continuous
sensors
- Hardware FSYNC for accurate sensor
time-stamping for imaging applications
- World-class and field proven
pedometer
The ICM-20645 SoC performs these functions on-chip,
significantly lowering system power consumption for AlwaysOn
contextual awareness, reducing system cost and complexity, and
eliminating the need for additional sensor hub processing ICs.
Further, the ICM-20645 SoC has been designed to meet or exceed all
new Android Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) sensor requirements for
power, performance, and timing accuracy in Android 5.0.
“The newest member of our M-2 series product line, the
InvenSense ICM-20645 MEMS SoC enables the next generation of
activity, location and context aware applications,” said Ali
Foughi, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at
InvenSense. “Incorporating an embedded motion hub for all motion
processing, including fusion with complementary sensor data, the
ICM-20645 is easily upgradeable for existing smartphone, tablet and
wearables designs running Android Jelly Bean or KitKat; and
benefits from InvenSense’s MotionApps™ software consisting of open
source drivers and software libraries, thus providing a complete
sensor system on chip (SoC) solution.”
As the market transitions to Android Lollipop, the ICM-20645 -
currently in production - can be found in smartphone devices later
this year. For additional information and data sheets, please visit
