InvenSense Enters Mass Production With The World’s First And Only Seven-Axis Motion Sensor

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--InvenSense, Inc. (NYSE:INVN), a leading provider of MEMS sensors platform solutions, has entered mass production with the world’s only 7-axis motion sensor. The ICM-20789 integrates InvenSense’s leading 6-axis (3-axis accelerometer + 3-axis gyroscope) MEMS motion sensor with InvenSense’s world class pressure sensor, providing a solution with performance on par with best in class discrete parts. InvenSense six-axis motion sensors have long enabled the drone market, including toy and commercial segments, owing to their reliable core performance, and immunity to the wide range of harsh stimulus that a drone experiences in its various stages of flight. The ICM-20789 provides an easy upgrade path for our customers to build on the time-tested performance of InvenSense 6-axis sensors, by adding a relative pressure sensor based on capacitive technology with class leading performance and exceptional temperature stability. The combined performance in these two key areas are a must-have in toy drones, where a majority of consumers have limited flight control expertise, or smart drones that need to maintain autonomous flight stability, for example, in order to follow a user while capturing video.
