TDK Corp. has extended its line of automotive safety integrity level (ASIL) and non-ASIL motion sensors with what it claims is the first monolithic 3-axis microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) platform for non-safety automotive applications.
The MEMS gyroscope could be used in automotive applications such as vehicle tracking, telematics, door control and vision systems. Source: TDK The platform contains the 3-axis MEMS gyroscope as well as TDK’s DK-20380HT developer kit. The sensor platform can operate over a wide temperature range for reliable and highly accurate measurement data for automotive applications such as navigation and dead reckoning, vehicle tracking, telematics, door control and vision systems.
Called the IAM-20380HT, the monolithic system-on-chip device eliminates the wire bonding interconnections between the MEMS and the electronic front-end.
The MEMS sensor is a fully compatible, multi-axis, multi-grade IMU portfolio of SmartAutomotive products through the InvenSense subsidiary.
Other features of the MEMS include:
- User-programmable full-scale range of ±250 dps, ±500 dps, ±1000 dps, ±2000 dps
- Operating temperature range from -40° C to 105° C
- 16-bit on-chip ADC
- Fully configurable ODRs and power modes
- User-programmable digital filters
- Embedded self-test
- Two embedded configurable interrupt lines
- Up to 4096-byte FIFO
- Reliability testing performed according to AEC–Q100 Grade2
- Final test over temperature
