STMicroelectronics Announces Industry-First High Performance 6-Axis IMU with Dual MEMS Accelerometer and Embedded AI

STMicroelectronics has revealed an inertial measurement unit (IMU) that combines sensors tuned for activity tracking and high-g impact measurement in a single, space-saving package. The new LSM6DSV320X device is an industry-first IMU with dual MEMS accelerometer and embedded AI that is able to combine activity tracking and high-impact sensing in a miniature sensor for personal electronics.

Listen released SoundCheck 22. This update introduces many new features focusing on integration and flexibility for both production and R&D users. These include a new Python Integration module which enables SoundCheck to communicate with many devices and software programs using Python scripts, a new crest factor algorithm, a new multi-channel FFT analyzer, and additional post-processing tools. There are also significant upgrades to the statistics functionality, signal generator, metadata and more. SoundCheck 22 also operates on Apple Silicon processors with significant performance advantages.

Meeting the market momentum for hearables that combine bone conduction, Bosch Sensortec has announced the new BMA530 and BMA580 MEMS accelerometers, currently the world’s smallest devices of this type, with just 1.2 x 0.8 x 0.55mm³. This is also an easy-to-integrate variant with voice activity detection, saving power and extending battery life, while allowing advanced audio processing features.
