CES: InvenSense launches integrated 9-axis motion tracking device

InvenSense, Inc. announced the availability of the MPU-9150, which the company touts as the world’s first fully integrated 9-axis MotionTracking device for mobile devices. 

InvenSense, in partnership with Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (“AKM”), has integrated the AK8975 compass with its MPU-6050, a single-chip gyroscope and accelerometer, to deliver the industry’s first 9-axis MotionTracking device in a small 4x4x1mm LGA package. InvenSense has also incorporated AKM’s compass calibration algorithms into its MotionApps software platform featuring 9-axis MotionFusion firmware. The MPU-9150 is compatible with the InvenSense MPU-6050 and MPU-3050 MotionProcessors.

The MPU-9150 packages the InvenSense single chip 6-axis gyroscope and accelerometer with onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP) hardware acceleration along with AKM’s 3-axis AK8975 E-Compass die. The 9-axis MotionFusion firmware combines raw accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer sensor output into a single sensor fusion data stream so developers can easily adopt motion interface functionality in their software applications. 

The MPU-9150 is available for sampling to selected customers, with mass production planned for Q1 2012.
