TDK Corporation announced the global distribution availability of the InvenSense SmartAutomotive IAM-20680HV, a high-value 6-axis IMU designed for various in-cabin applications that also require the component to withstand harsh conditions up to +125 °C, with performance guaranteed up to +105 ° C. It’s built on established TDK design principles that are already in use across the automotive sector, offering a reliable option for non-safety-critical in-cabin applications.
As electric vehicles (EVs) evolve into more connected, software-defined platforms, the need for compact, low-noise, and thermally resilient sensors continues to grow.
The IAM-20680HV supports this shift by enabling accurate motion tracking and positioning in increasingly dense cabin environments, helping OEMs integrate features like navigation, driver monitoring, and telematics without sacrificing efficiency or performance.
The IAM-20680HV integrates a three-axis gyroscope and a three-axis accelerometer within a compact 3 x 3 x 0.75 mm³ (16-pin LGA) package, offering pin-to-pin and register compatibility with all other TDK SmartAutomotive MEMS sensors in LGA packages.
Featuring a selectable ±125 dps gyroscope full-scale, the IAM-20680HV provides higher resolution for a seamless user navigation experience. Complementing other products in the same SmartAutomotive family, the IAM-20680HV enriches the IMU product portfolio, offering the ideal trade-off to address cost-effective automotive applications.
With top low-noise performance, sensitivity tolerance, and high reliability, the product empowers engineers to scale a diverse range of automotive applications, including but not limited to telematics, heads-up displays, navigation systems, door control, and crash-recording.
