    TDK Announces Thermally Stable Industrial IMU for Tilt and Stabilization Applications

    01/04/2023

    ­TDK Corporation announces the expansion of the InvenSense SmartIndustrial sensor platform family. With its support for an extended temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, this new 6-axis IMU targets industrial applications that require extreme stability over temperature and great vibration immunity.

    The IIM-20670 features a robust monolithic 6-axis IMU, 3-axis accelerometer, and 3-axis gyroscope, with proven shock robustness and capability to simultaneously measure all the six axes with a current consumption below 10 mA under all operating conditions. The IIM-20670 is calibrated over multiple temperature points and available in a compact QFN 4.5 x 4.5 x 1.1 mm3 form with wettable flanks that simplify inspection at the end of the assembly line. It also features programmable digital filters and a 10 MHz SPI interface where data integrity can be assessed by a CRC-based error-detecting code algorithm.

    The IIM-20670 contains an accelerometer thermal stability of 1.7 µg/C, an accelerometer bias repeatability of 1 mg and a programmable output of 64G alongside with a tilt algorithm that outputs pitch and roll data over the full temperature range. These specifications allow the IIM-20670 to provide one of the most stable 6-axis tilt outputs in the industry, making it ideal for applications that need robust, fast, and accurate tilt or stabilization performance such as 5G platforms, industrial tilt modules, industrial/agricultural drones, etc.

    “With the introduction of these new thermally stable products with a tilt-ready algorithm, we are helping many industrial segments realize their designs in a quick and efficient manner,” said Camilo Delgado, Director of Industrial Marketing at InvenSense, a TDK Group company.

    “This product delivers uniform performance across all temperatures, creating a robust platform stabilization application,” said Vamshi Gangumalla, Director – Software Systems at InvenSense, a TDK Group company.

    This new thermal stable IMU for industrial applications delivers:

    • Precise measurements enabled by highly stable IMU
    • Support for extended temperature range (-40°C to 105°C)
    • 64g accelerometer output
    • Best in class accelerometer bias offset & repeatability
    • Strong vibration rectification performance
    • A comprehensive development and evaluation platform along with necessary software to enable quick-to-market development of customer systems
