Ideally Suited for Wearable, IoT and Smartphone
Applications
InvenSense, Inc., (NYSE:INVN), a leading provider of MEMS sensor
platform solutions, announced its 3rd generation 9-axis
MotionTracking device. The ICM-20948 is the lowest power 9-axis
motion sensing device on the market at only 2.65mW and comes in a
3x3x1mm QFN package. The fully integrated 9-axis device includes a
3-axis accelerometer + 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis magnetometer and
includes an onboard Digital Motion Processor™ (DMP). The DMP allows
for complete 9-axis sensor fusion performed on chip, which enables
lower system power by offloading motion processing algorithms from
a host processor while improving system performance and
responsiveness in low power applications, especially critical to
wearable and IoT devices.
InvenSense has partnered with Asahi Kasei Microdevices
Corporation (“AKM”), a leading manufacturer of 3-axis magnetometer
using Hall element technology, to combine AKM’s new magnetometer
with InvenSense’s latest 6-axis solution, providing an integrated
9-axis solution that is factory pre-calibrated and tested. The
ICM-20948 is supported by 9-axis MotionFusion software available as
part of the InvenSense production-proven MotionApps™ software
platform. The ICM-20948 is package and pin compatible with the
InvenSense MPU-9250 MotionTracking device that has been widely
adopted in many IoT applications. The ICM-20948 supports an
auxiliary I2C interface to external sensors, on-chip ADCs,
programmable digital filters, an embedded temperature sensor and
programmable interrupts.
“A 9-axis IMU is necessary to enable use cases for wearable
products and other IoT applications, such as panoramic viewing for
VR/HMD, head tracking for smart glasses, overlay of text and
pictures for augmented reality devices, providing true north
heading, dead reckoning, and even counting the number of laps in a
swimming pool for wrist worn devices,” said Eitan Medina, vice
president of marketing and product management at InvenSense.
“InvenSense delivers the lowest power, smallest size, and highest
performance 9-axis IMU enabling our wearable, IoT, and mobile
customers to solve all their accelerometer/gyroscope/magnetometer
related sensor applications efficiently and at a lower BOM price
solution.”
InvenSense’s ICM-20948 will be sampling in Q1 of 2016.
InvenSense is exhibiting in booth #36217 in South Hall 4 at
the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show taking place in Las Vegas,
Nevada from January 6 - 9, 2016. To schedule press and partner
