IMU to enhance automotive ADAS applications

TDK Corporation has announced the full-scale production of InvenSense IAM-20685, the smallest ASIL-B monolithic six-axis MEMS IMU produced in compliance with ISO 26262 for ADAS and autonomous car systems.

The device supports a broad range of ADAS applications, including but not limited to automated parking, ADAS domain controller, and vision systems.

“Thanks to its six-axis integration and its ASIL-B compliancy at the component level, the IAM-20685 simplifies automotive ADAS systems development, helping overcome weaknesses of other technologies,” said Alberto Marinoni, senior director, Product Marketing Automotive, InvenSense, a TDK Group company. “The high level of performance and the smallest size in the market means the IAM-20685 is the best IMU to integrate in positioning, vision, and radar modules in order to enhance their performance when the satellites are not available, road vibrations are applied, and the tilt is unknown, respectively.”

Safety manual and part approval documentation is now available upon request. The IAM-20685 ISO 26262 development compliance was assessed by a third-party consultancy company.
