STMicroelectronics , a global leader in semiconductor technology, has introduced a groundbreaking inertial measurement unit (IMU) that brings together precision activity tracking and high-impact sensing within a compact, AI-enabled form factor. The innovation paves the way for smarter, more responsive devices across a broad range of markets-including mobile phones, wearables, consumer health tech, smart homes, industrial automation, and connected vehicles.
The newly launched LSM6DSV320X sensor sets a new benchmark in its class, offering dual accelerometers in a space-saving 3mm x 2.5mm package. With built-in AI capabilities and real-time motion and impact registration, this next-generation module enables developers to create devices that can accurately reconstruct physical events—enhancing functionality, responsiveness, and user experience.
A result of ST’s deep expertise and continued investment in MEMS innovation, the LSM6DSV320X delivers unmatched accuracy for both everyday activity tracking (up to ±16g) and extreme shock detection (up to ±320g). This dual-sensing capability supports applications that require both fine motion detection and the ability to respond to sudden, high-impact forces.
