SCI36LT-K01

Murata's SCI36LT-K01 combines Murata High-Performance Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) technology with an integrated microcontroller and a proprietary sensor fusion algorithm to create a full Inertial Navigation System (INS) on component level. SCI36LT-K01 uses Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) sensor fusion to output pitch, roll and relative yaw. The angular rate and accelerometer sensor technology are based on Murata's proven capacitive 3D-MEMS technology. Signal processing is done by a Cortex-M4 MCU integrated to an LGA-package together with the IMU and all necessary passive components, crystal resonator and voltage regulation. Component also includes intelligent calibration features to support and simplify PCB/module level calibration. Product enables various kind of smart designs including for example extremely small IMU/INS modules simply requiring a small PCB, connector of choice and suitable mechanical housing.
