TDK Company (TSE:6762) broadcasts that the InvenSense ICP-20100, the most recent technology of the SmartPressure™ MEMS Barometric Stress Sensors, is now in mass manufacturing and has been licensed by NextNav. Launched in 2021, the NextNav Licensed course of independently verifies the InvenSense sensor accuracy measurements, by partaking straight with element producers to carefully take a look at sensors in actual world working situations. NextNav Licensed helps these producers in measuring efficiency in opposition to larger requirements, in the end benefiting wi-fi telephones, wearables, and different gadgets, offering robust efficiency assurance for {hardware} producers using the licensed elements. The ICP-20100 is the bottom energy barometric stress sensor to obtain this certification.
ICP-20100 can function over broad temperature ranges and ship measurement accuracies required by a wide range of purposes together with 3D geolocation and emergency location service (E911), cell indoor/out of doors navigation, sport and health exercise monitoring, and altitude-hold in drones. The sensor permits prolonged battery life for always-on purposes attributable to its excessive low-power consumption.
“TDK’s first-generation barometric stress sensor, ICP-10111, was the primary to attain NextNav licensed standing final yr. ICP-20100, our second-generation barometric stress sensor brings architectural innovation to ship even larger accuracy at decrease energy,” stated Uday Mudoi, Senior Director of Product Advertising and marketing at InvenSense, a TDK Group Firm. “The NextNav certification of ICP-20100 assures our clients that TDK’s efficiency sensing resolution will proceed to allow smarter methods that ship the perfect consumer expertise.”
“Stress sensor efficiency is important to delivering correct 3D location service for purposes equivalent to E911,” stated Dan Hight, VP of Enterprise Growth and Partnerships at NextNav. “NextNav certification of InvenSense ICP-20100 demonstrates that the sensor efficiency clears a excessive bar and gives a strong option to clients.”
The InvenSense SmartPressure™ Sensors use an revolutionary capacitive MEMS structure to ship industry-leading accuracy, long run drift, temperature stability, and low energy consumption. The ICP-20100 system combines a barometric stress and a temperature sensor in a small 2.0 mm x 2.0 mm x 0.8 mm package deal. The system permits versatile consumer designs with a number of enter voltage ranges together with 1.2V, 1.8V, and three.3V, and a alternative of I²C, I3CSM, and SPI interfaces. The ICP-20100 will be configured to attain ultra-low noise or ultra-low energy efficiency and has the flexibility to carry out wherever in-between these thresholds. With ultra-low noise stress sensing capabilities, the ICP-20100 can detect altitude modifications of lower than 5 cm.
A complete growth equipment, DK-20100, and analysis platform, EV_ICP-20100, are additionally out there together with crucial software program to allow quick-to-market growth of buyer methods. Along with the ICP-20100, the ICP-10125, ICP-10101, and ICP-10111 stress sensors are a part of the SmartPressure™ Sensor household and can be found from distributors worldwide that carry InvenSense merchandise.
TDK shall be demonstrating SmartPressure™ merchandise together with the {industry}’s most complete portfolio of passive elements, sensors, energy provides, and batteries at sales space #718 at Sensor Converge, June 27-29 in San Jose, CA. To be taught extra, please go to https://invensense.tdk.com/
