Murata has introduced a new microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) inertial sensor for safety-critical automotive applications.
The sensor can be used for safety automotive technology through data fusion with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and various perception sensors such as camera, radar and lidar. The sensor offers a six degrees of freedom component with GNSS and perception sensors for L2+ and higher levels of autonomy.

The SCHA600 includes internal reference signal monitoring, checksum techniques for verifying communication and signal saturation/over-range detection.
The sensor features include ISO26262 compliant for systems up to ASIL D, self-diagnosis, vibration robustness, operating temperature range of -40° C to 110° C and gyro RMS noise level below 0.007/s.
Typical applications for the sensor include advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), self-driving technology, inertial navigation for dead reckoning, lane keeping assistant, motion and position measurements and platform stabilization.
