Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "InvenSense MPU-9250 9-Axis MEMS IMU Reverse Costing Analysis" report to their offering.
For its second generation of 9 DoF sensor, InvenSense manages to integrate a 6-Axis Accelerometer/Gyroscope and a 3-Axis Magnetometer in a cost effective QFN package of only 3x3mm (45% footprint reduction compared to the previous generation).
This package reduction has been made possible thanks to a new design of the 3-axis gyroscope which now uses a single structure vibratory compared to three different structures for the previous generation of gyros. This new design results in a shrink of 40% of the 3-axis gyro area. The second benefice of this new design is that Nasiri process has been changed: cavities which were traditionally etched in the ASIC to allow MEMS structures moving are no longer used, thus resulting in cost reduction.
The MPU-9250 also integrates a new 3-Axis magnetometer from AKM, the AK8963, which features almost 40% size reduction compared to previous generation and sensitivity improvement with 0.15µT/LSB.
