STMicroelectronics extends Edge-AI sensor family

▤ Summary

The LSM6DSV32X 6-axis inertial module (IMU) from STMicroelectronics has a large accelerometer full-scale range of 32g and 4000 degrees-per-second (dps) gyroscope to measure intensive movements and impacts, including freefall height estimation. Ready to drive future generations of Edge-AI applications, the new sensor device enables extra features and longer battery runtime in consumer wearables, asset trackers, and impact and fall alarms for workers. With the MLC for context sensing and a finite state machine (FSM) for motion tracking, these sensors let product developers add new features, minimise latency, and save power. In addition to the accelerometer and gyroscope, the LSM6DSV32X integrates ST’s Qvar electrostatic charge-variation sensing to handle advanced user-interface functions such as touching, swiping, and tapping. These include the intuitive MEMS Studio environment, which supports evaluation and use-case development, and a dedicated GitHub repository that provides code examples such as sports-activity and head-gesture recognition.
