Inertial modules package accelerometer and gyroscope

The modules offer an integrated, system-in-package solution combining a three-axis digital accelerometer and three-axis digital gyroscope. The inertial modules enable always-on, low-power features for optimal performance in industrial and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, including industrial robots, asset tracking, condition monitoring, and complex motion detection.

These inertial modules feature an embedded intelligent sensor processing unit (ISPU), an ultra-low-power programmable core capable of executing signal processing and AI algorithms on the edge.

They offer a full-scale acceleration range of ±2 g to ±16 g and an angular rate range of ±125 dps to ±2000 dps. The modules’ ISPU utilises data from the internal accelerometer/gyroscope and up to four external sensors using the device’s sensor hub functionality.

The ISM330IS inertial module leverages an extensive ecosystem of libraries, as well as third-party tools and an integrated development environment (IDE).

It is paired with the NanoEdge.AI Studio, a developer tool from STMicroelectronics that allows users to create machine learning libraries.

The modules are supported by the STEVAL-MKI233KA IS330IS evaluation kit.

It includes a target board with a pre-mounted IS330IS sensor and an adapter card that enables connection to the STEVAL-MKI109V3 MEMS development platform (not included). The STEVAL-MKI109V3 MEMS development platform features a high-performance 32-bit microcontroller that functions as a bridge between the sensor and a PC, on which it is possible to use a downloadable graphical user interface (Unico-GUI) or dedicated software routines for customised applications.
