Description
The BalancedGyro technology by TDK is the first‑of‑its‑kind gyroscope MEMS architecture that enables supreme vibration rejection and temperature stability performance, an enhancement never seen before in a consumer gyroscope.
This family offers the world’s lowest power 6‑axis motion sensor. This allows the gyroscope to be on 40% of the times more than any other gyroscope in the industry. This also offers the very first Gyroscope Low Power Mode, enabling ~200 µA of 6-axis IMU current consumption, making it the top choice for wearables, hearables and any battery driven IoT application.
Target markets & applications text
- Microcontrollers (MCUs) – Combine CPU, memory, and peripherals in a single chip (e.g., ARM Cortex-M, AVR, PIC).
- Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) – Optimized for real-time signal processing (e.g., TI C6000 series).
- Application Processors – Used in smartphones or multimedia devices (e.g., ARM Cortex-A series).
- System-on-Chip (SoC) – Integrates multiple components like CPU, GPU, and communication modules (e.g., Qualcomm Snapdragon).
Short description
The ICM-45605 is an ultra high‑performance 6‑axis MEMS motion sensor family with the world’s first BalancedGyro™ technology and lowest power consumption. The sensor combines a 3‑axis gyroscope and a 3‑axis accelerometer in a compact 2.5 × 3 × 0.81 mm package.
