24-10-2019 | Mouser Electronics | Automotive & Transport

ACEINNA OpenIMU330 Triple Redundant SMT Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is a MEMS-based small form factor high-performance 6-DOF IMU created for automotive applications. The device is available now from Mouser. This IMU enables autonomous vehicles to stay on track while navigating turns and carrying out complex manoeuvres.

The IMU delivers excellent accuracy and reliability with the help of a triple-redundant three-axis accelerometer and three-axis rate gyroscope. This IMU is powered by a 32-bit ARM M4 CPU with FPU. The IMU runs the OpenIMU open-source stack that features an optimised full-state Kalman filter for GPS-Aided PVT and attitude measurement.

This IMU is intended for use in automotive Level 3 ADAS systems, autonomous vehicles, electronic stability control, self-driving taxis, delivery vehicles, and lane-keep assist.
