MEMS Announces First Six-Axis IMU-Enabled Somatosensory Interactive System

August 22, 2022 - MEMS, a leading global supplier of inertial MEMS sensors, announced its first MEMS 6-axis inertial sensor (IMU), MIC6100AL, which integrates a 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer to support physical interactive systems such as gamepads and smart remotes with sensitive sensing, greatly enhancing the user experience. At the same time, MEMS has a strong algorithm team to provide algorithm support to meet the needs of a wide range of applications.

Gamepads and smart remote control systems have a large range of motion and are prone to collisions and drops, and the "stickiness" of the sensor's moving parts and impact failure is a long-term problem for users. MEMS has adopted a highly reliable three-mass block MEMS architecture to provide users with a smooth sensory experience.

The MIC6100AL 6-axis IMU chip has a large FIFO, supports I2C/I3C/SPI communication, is packaged in an LGA package, has an external size of 2.5x3x0.83mm, and has a data output frequency of up to 2200Hz.

Prop Lu, CEO of MEMS Semiconductor, said, "The new features of MIC6100AL bring a better experience for consumer electronics customers' product applications and have a strong competitive advantage, providing a good foundation for MEMS to further promote its IMU sensor products on a large scale. Currently, MEMS's capacitive acceleration products are comparable to first-tier international brands, and its good reputation and mass production experience has laid a solid foundation for the mass production of six-axis products."

MEMS's six-axis IMU chip MIC6100AL has been sent to customers for sampling and has been approved by them, and is expected to be shipped in mass production by the end of this year. Based on the success of the first generation of six-axis products, in the next two years, MEMS will continue to innovate and iterate with its experienced R&D team to launch high-precision six-axis IMUs supporting OIS applications, as well as low-drift series of six-axis products for inertial navigation, and commit to continue to make efforts in the high-end field of six-axis products to achieve domestic substitution.

MEMS is the world's leading supplier of inertial MEMS sensors, providing customers with one-stop solutions from MEMS sensing chips, software algorithms, and application solutions. The products include the world's only thermal accelerometer, capacitive accelerometer, AMR geomagnetic sensor, and low-power Hall switch, which are widely used in automotive, industrial, medical, wearable, smart home, consumer electronics, and other fields to provide a smarter, more reliable and safer technology experience by sensing displacement and movement changes in the physical world.
