ICM-42605 HIGHLIGHTS
The ICM-42605 is a 6-axis MEMS MotionTracking
device that combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a
3-axis accelerometer. It has a configurable host
interface that supports I3C
SM
, I
2
C and SPI serial
communication, features a 2 kB FIFO and 2
programmable interrupts with ultra-low-power
wake-on-motion support to minimize system
power consumption.
The ICM-42605 supports the lowest gyro and
accel sensor noise in this IMU class, and has the
highest stability against temperature, shock (up
to 20,000g) or SMT/bend induced offset as well
as immunity against out-of-band vibration
induced noise.
Other industry-leading features include
InvenSense on-chip APEX Motion Processing
engine for gesture recognition, activity
classification, and pedometer, along with
programmable digital filters, and an embedded
temperature sensor.
The device supports a VDD operating range of
1.71V to 3.6V, and a separate digital IO supply,
VDDIO from 1.71V to 3.6V.
