MEMS moduler baner vej for nye typer af mobile produkter

STMicroelectronics lancerer nye generation af featurerige MEMS sensorer, der fylder 20 procent mindre end eksisterende produkter (in english).

STMicroelectronics (ST), one of the leading supplier of MEMS solutions for consumer and portable applications, has announced a new inertial module that integrates three-axis sensing of linear and angular motion in a miniature 3 x 5.5 x 1mm package.

Reducing size by almost 20% over devices currently in production, ST’s newest iNEMO module with six degrees of freedom delivers advanced motion-sensing capabilities in today’s space-constrained consumer applications, such as smart phones, tablets and other portable electronic devices and will enable even more sleek products in the future.

In addition to the space-saving benefits, ST’s newest iNEMO module enhances user experience and motion-sensing realism through its advanced design and real-time sensor data fusion capabilities. The module design ensures precise alignment of the two sensors’ reference axes and superior thermal and mechanical stability, while ST’s iNEMO Engine data-fusion software employs sophisticated prediction and filtering algorithms to automatically correct measurement distortions and inaccuracies.

The LSM330D multi-sensor module combines a user-selectable full-scale acceleration range from 2 to 16g with angular-rate detection from 250 to 2000 dps along the pitch, roll and yaw axes 2. Addressing power constraints in battery-operated portable devices, the module includes power-down and sleep modes and two embedded FIFO (first-in first-out) memory blocks, one for each sensor, for smarter power management. In addition, it can operate with any supply voltage over the range of 2.4 to 3.6V.

Fully software-compatible with ST’s latest-generation 3-axis digital accelerometers (LIS3DH) and gyroscopes (L3GD20), the new iNEMO module makes it easy for customers using ST’s single-function sensors to upgrade their designs, reducing the board size, number of external components, and overall application system complexity.

The smallest 6 DoF (degrees of freedom) device in ST’s iNEMO inertial module family, the LSM330D is available in engineering samples.
