Three new InvenSense products have been released
 

TDK has added three InvenSense products, which include motion sensors, capacitive pressure sensors, and MEMS microphones, to our Product Center. Our technical support tools also include various tools related to InvenSense, which can provide valuable assistance with product development.

 
 
Motion Sensors

TDK delivers Motion Interface solutions with fully integrated sensors and robust firmware algorithms. Our devices enable our customers to integrate Motion Interface capability directly into devices with minimal development cost and effort.

Motion-based devices from TDK are rapidly becoming a key function in many consumer electronic devices including mobile, wearable, Smart Home, and automotive and industrial devices.

Our motion solutions, including gyroscopes, accelerometers, compasses and pressure sensors, detect and track an object's motion in three-dimensional space, allowing consumers to interact with their electronic devices in free space.

MEMS Microphones

TDK's MEMS microphones have achieved compact, low-profile, and high in performance due to the CSMP (chip size MEMS package) technology that has been cultivated through the development of products such as SAW devices.

TDK and InvenSense's analog and digital microphone portfolios build on a strong heritage of industry firsts, including continuous improvement of MEMS microphone SNR, ever-higher integration levels, and even lower power consumption. Technological advances like these have enabled machine speech recognition & adaptive noise suppression to become commonplace in consumer devices and other applications.

Humans intuitively understand audio capture to be a critical factor in awareness of their surroundings. Voice capture is quickly becoming the leading interface between man and machine. InvenSense is microphones are first in line to enable smart devices with accurate voice collection. InvenSense combines the capability to sense audio along with a wide sensor portfolio, capturing motion, pressure, air quality and ultrasonic information.
