TDK launches the world's first single-chip integrated three-axis MEMS gyroscope for vehicle scale

- High Temperature triaxial MotionTracking Gyroscope IAM-20380HT designed for non-safety automotive applications;

- Provides accurate angular velocity sensing in the operating temperature range from -40℃ to 105℃;

- Highly reliable MEMS technology based on TDK that has been widely proven in the automotive market;

- Compatible with pins and registers in the entire TDK SmartAutomotive™ series of non-secure applications;

- Complete vehicle gauge certification according to AEC-Q100 Level 2 test method.

The IAM-20380HT is a self-contained gyroscope in an ultra-thin package of 3 mm x 3 mm x 0.75 mm (16-pin LGA) that reliably operates over a wide temperature range and provides reliable and high-precision measurements for a variety of non-safety automotive applications, including but not limited to: Navigation and dead reckoning, vehicle tracking, telematics, door control and vision systems.

Leveraging TDK's market-proven, reliable MEMS sensor manufacturing technology, the IAM-20380HT, like all products in the SmartAutomotive™ series, is a single-chip SoC that eliminates lead bond interconnects between sensing components (MEMS) and processing circuits (ASics). Unmatched advantages in performance and reliability.

"With the launch of the IAM-20380HT, TDK further extends the SmartAutomotive™ series and its leadership in the automotive market," said Alberto Marinoni, Director of Senior product Marketing for TDK Group InvenSense. "Thanks to TDK's expertise in high-performance inertial sensor design and, without exception, RoHs-compliant, the IAM-20380HT takes autonomous systems to new heights, enhancing the user experience and making the vehicle smarter and more environmentally friendly."

The IAM-20380HT delivers best-in-class low noise performance and leading bias instability to ensure accurate vehicle positioning, a 16-bit on-chip ADC, and industry-leading sensitivity tolerance. It offers up to 4096 bytes of extended FIFO depth and two independent programmable interrupts compared to the previous generation three-axis gyroscope.

InvenSense IAM-20380HT Automotive IMUs are available from a number of dealers worldwide. They are the new addition to the SmartAutomotive portfolio of fully compatible, multi-axis, and multistage IMUs. Consolidated InvenSense's undisputed leading position in the three - and six-axle IMUs market for safety and non-safety automotive applications.
