STMicroelectronics LSM6DSV320X 3-Axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)

With dual accelerometer

The STMicroelectronics LSM6DSV320X is a high-end, low-noise, low-power, small IMU, featuring a 3-axis digital low-g accelerometer at 16 g, a 3-axis digital high-g accelerometer at 320 g, and a 3-axis digital gyroscope, which offers the best IMU sensor with an architecture for processing acceleration and angular rate data on four separate channels (user interface, OIS, EIS, and high-g accelerometer data). This IMU enables a new range of applications targeting emergency calls, fall/drop reconstruction, intense movement tracking, concussion monitoring, and so forth.

The device enables edge AI computing, leveraging a finite state machine (FSM) for configurable motion tracking and a machine learning core (MLC) for context awareness with exportable AI features for personal electronics and IoT applications.

The LSM6DSV320X features adaptive self-configuration (ASC) to optimize power consumption. The sensor can automatically adjust its settings in real time upon detecting a specific motion pattern or signal from the MLC, without intervention from the host processor. The digital circuitry also includes ST’s sensor fusion low-power (SFLP) technology for spatial orientation.

The device embeds a dedicated accelerometer sensor with an independent channel and filtering for high-g acceleration detection that perfectly matches shock requirements for sports, concussion detection, shock detection, and a full range of car crash detection applications.
