Epson Electronics America has launched a compact, highly precise, power-saving inertial measurement unit (IMU) based on its quartz-based QMEMS sensor and semiconductor technology called the Epson S4E5A0A0 IMU.
The Epson IMU is devised for numerous industrial uses that demand precise motion control and motion sensing.
The Epson IMU has dimensions of 24 x 24 x 10 mm, which allows it to be fitted into restricted space and portable applications. It has six degrees of freedom, including a ± 3 tri-axis accelerometer and a ± 300 °/s tri-axis gyroscope, allowing 3D measurement and motion control.
The Epson IMU employs QMEMS-based quartz gyroscopes to detect movement with ultra accuracy and 0.24 degree per root-hour of angular random walk and 6 °/h of gyro bias instability. It features industry-standard UART and SPI interfaces. It operates at a temperature range between -20 °C and +70 °C.
The Epson IMU characterizes a natural development of Epson Electronics’ quartz-based QMEMS technology dominance combined with its wide experience in system-level and IC design, comprehensive algorithm development and its sensor expertise.
