Højt integreret 9-akset positionssensor åbner nye muligheder

TDK lancerer PositionSense sensorløsningen, der integrerer en 6-akset IMU, et 3-akset TMR-baseret magnetometer, on-chip sensorfusion software samt off-chip 'pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR)' software (in english).

TDK Corporation announces the InvenSense PositionSense - a new 2-chip 9-axis sensor solution enabling next-gen positioning accuracy for navigation, wearable, mobile, and AR/VR devices. As the newest TDK sensor solution for precise orientation and relative position detection, PositionSense integrates TDK’s lowest-power 6-axis IMU and TMR-based 3-axis magnetometer with on-chip sensor fusion software and calibration software to enable fast and accurate orientation tracking.

PositionSense integrates seamlessly with TDK’s industry-leading PDR software for accuracy and power consumption, enabling applications such as geofencing and GNSS duty cycling. Samples are available via direct inquiry with InvenSense sales.

- When your device is built using PositionSense, its users are always on track and never lost. When people step out of a subway and ask their watch or phone for directions, they expect to be sent in the proper direction instantly and without delay; the PositionSense sensor solution ensures that happens, says Joseph Bousaba, CEO of InvenSense, a TDK group company

The speed and precision of PositionSense’s absolute orientation detection comes from the integration of its components:

- TDK 6-axis SmartMotion IMU, the lowest-power IMU with high-performance MEMS technology and vibration-resistant gyroscope

- TDK 3-axis magnetometer, the lowest-power magnetometer with high-sensitivity and accuracy, along with magnetic field shock resistance

- The new TDK 9-axis solution provides a best-in-class, fully synchronized IMU and compass solution capable of high accuracy, ultra-low power, and strong magnetic sock resilience, making it ideal for navigation applications, says Jordi Munoz, CEO of mRobotics.

TDK PositionSense addresses a wide range of consumer product applications, including but not limited to, smartphones, wearables, hearables/TWS earbuds, AR/VR, drones, robotics.
