Low-power sensor hub makes sensor fusion easier to implement
Microchip has partnered with multiple industry-leading sensor manufacturers and sensor-fusion specialists to create the solution, enabling faster time to market without the need for sensor-fusion expertise. The SSC7102 consumes ~4 mA while running complex sensor-fusion algorithms, resulting in longer battery life for Windows 8.1 tablets, laptops, ultrabooks and smart phones.
Data from multiple sensors, such as motion (accelerometers, magnetometers, gyroscopes) and environmental (light, temperature, humidity, pressure), needs to be incorporated or ‘fused’ in the system. Microchip’s low-power SSC7102 sensor hub runs these complex sensor-fusion algorithms, while providing maximum flexibility in an easy-to-implement solution.
Availability and Pricing
Microchip’s SSC7102 sensor hub is available in a 6 mm x 6 mm body, BGA package, and is priced at $2.69 each in 10,000-unit quantities. Samples are available now and volume production is expected by the end of this quarter.
