STMicroelectronics Introduces High-Precision Motion Sensors for Smart Devices and Drones
New six-axis IMUs combine advanced event detection, vibration immunity and sustainable-materials compliance
STMicroelectronics has introduced two advanced six-axis inertial measurement units (IMUs), the LSM6DSK320X and ISM6HGK256X, designed to deliver precise motion sensing, reliable event detection and enhanced vibration immunity while meeting stringent sustainable-materials requirements.
The new sensors target consumer applications, including fitness trackers and smart tags, as well as industrial asset monitoring, robotics and drones used for photography and agricultural surveying. Both products form part of ST’s Sustainable Technology initiative, supporting responsible product development.
The IMUs feature a super-symmetric gyroscope architecture that reduces the effects of external vibrations and shocks, improving sensing accuracy for applications requiring precise event reconstruction. Their dual-accelerometer design simultaneously captures low-range disturbances up to ±16 g and high-impact events up to ±320 g, avoiding measurement interruptions associated with switching between acceleration ranges.
These capabilities support applications such as accident detection, tool-usage monitoring, sports-performance analysis, robot teaching,...
