ACEINNA Launches 1.3?/hr IMU Sensor

Triple redundant IMU hardware and software for guidance and navigation solutions in autonomous machines and vehicles

ACEINNA announced the availability of the new ACEINNA IMU383ZA, a triple-redundant, three-axis MEMS accelerometer and gyroscope sensor, measuring at 24mm x 37mm x 9.5mm.

This module is factory-calibrated over the -40C to +85C industrial temperature range for performance through extreme operating environments for a variety of applications including automotive ADAS, autonomous systems, drones, robotics, agricultural, construction, and other industrial machines.

The IMU383ZA offers a fault-tolerant sensor architecture. The IMU383ZA also provides a standard SPI bus for board-to-board communications. Other features include advanced synchronization and a bootloader for field upgradeability. 

The IMU383ZA sensor architecture consists of three independent, 3-Axis Accelerometer and 3-Axis Gyros.  By embedding a triple-redundant sensor array, the IMU383ZA uses ACEINNA’s proprietary voting scheme to utilize valid sensor data.  Any defective sensor output or errant dataset will be ignored or de-rated in importance. 

Datasheets and more information about the IMU383ZA can be found at https://www.aceinna.com/inertial-systems/IMU383ZA

Engineering samples and evaluation kits are available to qualified customers at WPG Americas , Mouser or  ACEINNA.
