STMicroelectronics and InvenSense announced today that they have settled all pending proceedings between them and have entered into a patent cross license agreement.

InvenSense's MPU-6500 MotionTracking SoC has been selected by GN Store Nord for the “Intelligent Headset”. The Intelligent Headset is designed to enable hands-free information access and augmented reality in an audio headset. The Intelligent Headset uses the MPU-6500’s integrated gyroscope and accelerometer to precisely track head movement, enhance the user experience with dynamic 3D audio and provide direction based on the head...

InvenSense unveil a family of 6 Industrial MotionTracking solutions including 3-axis gyroscopes and integrated 6-axis gyroscopes plus accelerometers. With the introduction of ITG-31N1/N2/N3 and MPU-61N1/N2/N3 devices for Industrial markets, InvenSense is now providing the same level of high performance and reliability for these markets, that it is known for in the consumer market.

InvenSense have introduced the world’s lowest profile and lowest power 3-axis MEMS gyroscope designed for Smartphones, Tablets, Smart TVs, and Gaming devices. The trend toward thinner devices in the consumer electronics market has created demand for components with a maximum height of 0.8mm to allow flexible board placement. Low profile components also offer the advantage of allowing for thicker batteries with extended operating time.

InvenSense has today unveiled its third-gen 9-axis MotionTracking device with the lowest power and best-in-class performance. The world’s smallest 9-axis solution, the MPU-9350 combines an accelerometer, gyroscope, and electronic compass into a 3x3x1mm QFN package. At 6.7mW, the MPU-9350 has 28% lower power consumption than its predecessor and comes with the industry’s only integrated Digital Motion Processor.

InvenSense announce the world’s smallest, lowest profile, and lowest power 6-axis solution, the MPU-6521 MEMS SoC. The slim profile MPU-6521 is targeted for the next-generation of smartphones, tablets, gaming devices, motion-based remote controls, and wearable sensors. At 6.1mW, the MPU-6521 consumes 60% less power than competing solutions.

InvenSense has today announced the introduction of two new dual-axis Optical Image Stabilization gyroscopes, the IDG-2030 and IXZ-2030. OIS eliminates the effects of hand jitter to achieve blur free images and jitter free HD video. The benefits of OIS are most evident in low light conditions where longer exposure times are required.

InvenSense introduces a second generation, category defining, 9-axis MotionTracking device. The MPU-9250, in a 3x3x1mm QFN package, is 33% smaller than the nearest competitor. With only 9.2mW, it is the lowest power 9-axis motion sensing device on the market, and offers the best available gyroscope noise and compass full scale range.

InvenSense launch a Contextual Awareness System Development Kit to further drive the proliferation of wearable sensor innovations. The CA-SDK is comprised of nine sensors and software on a 1.71in. x 1.46in. PCB configured into a wearable watchband.
