TDK PositionSense Nine-Axis Solution Now Available Globally

2 reports · 2 sources

TDK announced that its InvenSense PositionSense nine-axis motion sensing solution is now available globally, with target markets including humanoid robots, drones, smart glasses, and mobile devices. The solution consists of a six-axis IMU, a three-axis TMR magnetic sensor, and on-chip fusion software, providing positioning and navigation capabilities. The solution is tiered by measurement range: the ICM-45608 offers ±16g acceleration and ±2000°/s angular velocity for conventional motion detection; the ICM-45689 raises this to ±32g and ±4000°/s, covering more severe rotation and acceleration. Subsequent reports stated that the solution has four hardware configurations in total, all with on-chip sensor fusion and gyroscope-assisted calibration, and respectively supporting 1.8V or 1.2V VDDIO and I2C/SPI/I3C interfaces, targeting IoT and battery-powered low-power scenarios. PositionSense had previously been promoted in smart terminals, and this global availability formally adds robots to its target markets. The statements above regarding configurations and applicable scenarios come from TDK.
