Industrial motion tracking device delivers reliable precision

Mouser now stocks the IIM-42653 SmartIndustrial MotionTracking device from TDK InvenSense. The six-axis MEMS device delivers precise, reliable motion-tracking capabilities in industrial applications. The device is optimised for performance and power efficiency in challenging environments, and applications include navigation, orientation measurements, platform stabilisation, and robotics.

The device incorporates a three-axis gyroscope and a three-axis accelerometer into a compact 2.5mm x 3mm x 0.91mm package. The device, which features an operating temperature range of -40C to +105C, is 20,000g shock tolerant. It supports an extended full-scale range of up to 32g and 4000dps, ideal for demanding industrial conditions. The device features a 2KBytes FIFO that lowers energy consumption by allowing the system processor to read sensor data and switch to low-power mode. The sensor supports a highly accurate external clock input, which is advantageous for robotics, tilt sensing, and other applications requiring precise navigation and orientation measurements. For communication, the device's host interface can support i3CSM, I2C, and SPI modes, with respective maximum speeds of 12.5MHz, 1MHz, and 24MHz. The I3CSM interface also supports speeds up to 25Mbps in DDR mode. The device has an operating voltage range of 1.71V to 3.6V.

The device is supported by the TDK InvenSense DK-42653 development kit. The DK-42653 provides an onboard embedded debugger and necessary software, including InvenSense Motion Link, a GUI-based development tool, and embedded motion drivers.
