ROHM Group company Kionix announces about 6-axis combo accelerometer-gyro sensors that helps in reducing the power consumption ideal for motion sensing applications, including gaming systems, wearable devices, and smartphones.
Unlike conventional sensor signal detection methods based on amplitude detection, the KXG07 and KXG08 utilize a proprietary phase detection scheme that contributes to smaller designs while enabling full high-speed operation of the onboard accelerometer, gyroscope, and temperature sensor at industry-leading low power consumption levels as low as 0.2mA, allowing for always ON operation. Extra features include synchronization functionality, a 4,096-byte buffer, and support for controlling and acquiring data from external sensors, contributing to reduced design load.
The KXG07 is packaged in a 3mm×3mm×0.9mm 16-pin LGA while the KXG08 is offered in a conventional 2.5mm×3mm×0.9mm 14-pin LGA package, ensuring support for a variety of board designs.
