Two chip, 9-axis sensor for consumer wearables
TDK has launched a two chip, 9-axis sensor system for absolute orientation detection and fast sensor calibration at ultra-low power consumption
The InvenSense PositionSense integrates TDK’s 6-axis IMU and TDK’s 3-axis TMR-based magnetometer, on-chip sensor fusion software, and off-chip pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) software.
This enables next-gen positioning accuracy for wearables, AR glasses, smartphones, and similar devices.
PositionSense integrates with TDK’s PDR software for accuracy and power consumption, enabling applications such as geofencing and GNSS duty cycling.
“When your device is built using PositionSense, its users are always on track and never lost,” said Joseph Bousaba, CEO of InvenSense, a TDK group company. “When people step out of a subway and ask their watch or phone for directions, they expect to be sent in the proper direction instantly and without delay; the PositionSense sensor solution ensures that happens.”
The speed and precision of the absolute orientation detection comes from the integration of its components:
“The new TDK 9-axis solution provides a best-in-class, fully synchronized IMU and compass solution capable of high accuracy, ultra-low power, and strong magnetic sock resilience, making it ideal for navigation applications,” said Jordi Munoz, CEO of mRobotics.
TDK is showing PositionSense during CES 2025 in Las Vegas this week.
