ICM-42686-P

Wide-Range 6-Axis MotionTracking™ IMU

The ICM-42686-P has an extended full-scale range (FSR) of ±4000dps for gyroscope and ±32g for accelerometer, to support precise motion analysis for today’s wearable and sports solutions, including game controllers, golf or tennis swing analyzers, intelligent soccer balls, or basketballs that track the player’s performance.

The ICM-42686-P 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 I3CSM, I2C 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.

ICM-42686-P supports highly accurate external clock input, that helps to reduce system level sensitivity error, improve orientation measurement from gyroscope data, reduce ODR sensitivity to temperature and device to device variation.

The device includes industry first 20-bits data format support in FIFO for high-data resolution. This FIFO format encapsulates 19-bits of gyroscope data and 18-bits of accelerometer data.

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
