InvenSense Delivers A 6-Axis IMU Tuned For Wrist Worn Wearable Applications Enabling Fast Time-To-Market Product Launches

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--InvenSense, Inc., (NYSE: INVN), a leading provider of MEMS sensor platform solutions, announced the InvenSense ICM-20648, a 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) with an advanced software stack, updated for wrist worn wearable devices delivering many of the key features required from today’s smart wrist worn wearable devices. The ICM-20648 includes InvenSense’s 6-axis integrated MEMS (3-axis accelerometer + 3-axis gyroscope) motion sensors and InvenSense’s Digital Motion Processor (DMP) blocks for efficient lower power sensor processing in a small 3mm x 3mm x 0.9mm 24-QFN package. The updated wearable software stack for the ICM-20648 which is run in the IMU’s DMP at low power and in conjunction with a Host MCU or Apps Processor, delivers activity recognition (walk, run, bike, still), step counter, Bring-to-See (B2S) gesture, in addition to the standard Android fusion stack. The InvenSense wrist wearable IMU speeds an OEMs time-to-market by delivering the baseline features required for today’s wrist worn device that require inertial sensor processing.
