TDK’s New SmartMotion® Platform Accelerates Development of IOT Solutions Based on Invensense Motion Sensors

PublishTime： 2023-07-10 Article Source：TDK InvenSense News

TDK Corporation announces the worldwide availability of the SmartMotion® Platform encompassing 4 unique Development kits. The SmartMotion development kits enable rapid evaluation and development of InvenSense MEMS sensor-based solutions. Built on a single-board design, the platform enables fast system prototyping and parallel software development, resulting in faster deployment of end products to market. The SmartMotion platform is designed around Microchip’s G55MCU with built-in 512KB of Flash Memory and incorporates InvenSense’s market-leading 6-axis, 7-axis, or 9-axis motion sensor solutions.

Developers can evaluate and incorporate sensor functions like orientation, activity tracking, and gestures to develop state-of-the-art applications. The SmartMotion Platform integrates an on-board Embedded Debugger so external tools are not required to program or debug the G55 MCU, saving customers the cost of an external JTAG debugger.

SmartMotion Development kits

DK-20602 – Development platform for InvenSense ICM-20602, a high-performance 6-axis motion sensor that combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer.

DK-20648 – Development platform for InvenSense ICM-20648, a high-performance 6-axis motion sensor that combines a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, and Digital Motion ProcessorTM (DMPTM).

DK-20789 – Development platform for InvenSense ICM-20789, a high-performance 7-axis motion sensor combining a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, and a high-accuracy pressure sensor.

DK-20948 – Development platform for InvenSense ICM-20948, a high-performance 9-axis motion sensor that combines a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis compass, and a Digital Motion ProcessorTM (DMPTM).

Each development kit includes InvenSense MotionLink, a GUI-based development tool, and embedded Motion Drivers (eMD) for InvenSense sensors. The MotionLink can be used to capture and visualize sensor data from the motion sensor. Sensor Fusion is supported in the eMD, consisting of a set of APIs to configure various aspects of the platform including sensor parameters such as full-scale range (FSR), output data rate (ODR), low-power or low-noise mode, and sensor interface to host (I²C and SPI).

Glossary

MEMS – Micro Electrical Mechanical Systems

Digital Motion Processor – DMP offloads computation of motion processing algorithms from the host processor, improving system performance

Sensor Fusion – Sensor Fusion is the aggregation of data from multiple sensors (Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Compass etc.) to obtain better information and accuracy, than using sensors individually.
