STMicroelectronics delivers advanced context-aware sensors in ST Sustainable Technology framework

STMicroelectronics’ newest miniature motion sensors feature enhanced precision for accurate event reconstruction while meeting the most stringent sustainable-materials standards.

The new 6-axis sensors, or inertial measurement units (IMU), will be used in consumer devices like fitness trackers, smart tags, and professional applications such as industrial asset monitors, robots, and drone applications including photography and agricultural surveying. They are part of the ST Sustainable Technology initiative that drives responsible product development.

Sensors that support event reconstruction let smart applications distinguish between different types of incidents, enhancing capabilities such as accident alerting, tool-usage monitoring, robot teaching, sports-performance analysis, and concussion detection. ST’s new IMUs, the consumer-oriented LSM6DSK320X and industrial-grade ISM6HGK256X, achieve this with an advanced super-symmetric gyroscope architecture that increases sensing precision, combined with precise accelerometer tracking across a wide dynamic range. These capabilities also enhance use cases such as drone-flight stabilization, structural-condition monitoring, and game controllers (more info).
