Magnetic gyro solution operates on just 550µA of power
A single 6-axis device can provide 9-axis accelerometer, magnetometer (e-compass) and gyro outputs with a power profile that enables applications previously unreachable using traditional 9-axis solutions, claims Kionix. In addition to Kionix’s proprietary calibration and sensor fusion algorithms, the KMX61G includes a range of capabilities to enable precise control of the sensor including 512-byte FIFO buffer with watermarking, embedded temperature sensor and a low-power, embedded motion wake-up function.
For customers only requiring high performance e-compass capabilities without a gyro output, the company is also introducing the KMX61, a 6-axis e-compass device with auto-calibration software. The KMX61 delivers high sensitivity (0.05 µT/count) with stability over temperature (± 0.05 %/ºC) and is well-suited for a range of smartphone, tablet and health and fitness applications. Both devices come in a 3x3x0.9mm package size with a user-programmable ±2g/±4g/±8g full-scale accelerometer range. They operate from 1.8 to 3.3V.
