Aceinna launches reliable and highly accurate 1.3°/hr IMU sensor

28 April 2020

Aceinna has announced high volume availability of the new Aceinna IMU383ZA, which integrates triple-redundant, three-axis MEMS accelerometer and gyroscope sensors. This miniature module is factory-calibrated over the -40° C to 85° C industrial temperature range to provide consistent performance through extreme operating environments for a wide variety of applications including automotive advanced driver-assistance systems, autonomous systems, drones, robotics, agricultural, construction and other industrial machines.

The IMU383ZA offers improved performance and a fault-tolerant sensor architecture for improved reliability.

Other critical new features include advanced synchronization and a bootloader for field upgradeability.

Measuring only 24 mm x 37 mm x 9.5 mm, the Aceinna IMU383ZA integrates a triple-redundant architecture, that, combined with the small, low-cost packaging, meets the challenging performance, reliability and cost requirements of the automotive market including the areas of autonomous vehicles, self-driving taxis/delivery vehicles and electronic stability control.

The triple-redundant sensor architecture consists of three independent, three-axis accelerometer and three-axis gyros for excellent accuracy and reliability. By embedding a triple-redundant sensor array, the IMU383ZA uses Aceinna’s proprietary voting scheme to utilize only valid sensor data. Any defective sensor output or errant dataset will be ignored or de-rated in importance.

Find datasheets and more information about the IMU383ZA at Aceinna. Engineering samples and evaluation kits are available to qualified customers at WPG Americas or Mouser or by contacting Aceinna Inc. directly.
