Enables high-precision navigation with automotive-grade 6-axis IMU

April 9, 2026

A high-accuracy 6-axis inertial measurement unit, the STMicroelectronics ASM330LHHXG1TR integrates a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope. Ultra-low-noise, high-stability sensing delivers precise motion data for robust vehicle navigation and dead-reckoning systems.

The ASM330LHHXG1TR offers wide measurement ranges selectable up to ±16g for acceleration and ±4000°/s for angular rate, capturing both subtle motions and fast rotations. Combined with exceptionally low noise densities as low as 60µg/√Hz for the accelerometer and 5mdps/√Hz for the gyroscope, the inertial measurement unit (IMU) provides the high precision and time-synchronized six-axis outputs needed for accurate inertial navigation algorithms and vehicle dead-reckoning.

Embedded sensor-processing features further simplify integration. The IMUincludes 16 programmable finite state machines for the fully configurable tasks for on-device motion detection. It also embeds a machine learning core to classify motion patterns in real time. A dedicated sensor hub interface and 3KB FIFO buffer allow the ASM330LHHXG1TR to gather timestamped data from external sensors and batch inertial data, offloading the host processor and improving sensor-fusion efficiency. For design flexibility, the IMU supports dual high-performance and low-power operating modes, enabling trade-offs between maximum precision and energy consumption.

Evaluation Board

Part Number: STEVAL-MKI243A

The STEVAL-MKI243A is an adapter board designed to facilitate the evaluation of the ASM330LHHXG1 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) in automotive applications. The board offers an effective solution for fast system prototyping and device evaluation directly within the user’s own application.

 

The STEVAL-MKI243A can be plugged into a standard DIL24 socket. The adapter provides the complete ASM330LHHXG1 pinout and comes ready to use with the required decoupling capacitors on the VDD power supply line.

 

This adapter is supported by the STEVAL-MKI109D evaluation platform, which includes a high-performance 32-bit microcontroller functioning as a bridge between the sensor and a PC, on which it is possible to use the downloadable MEMS Studio graphical user interface or dedicated software routines for customized applications.
