STMicroelectronics has rolled out new smart motion sensors that enable always-on tracking applications to run for longer and record progress more accurately. These sensors, the LIS2DS12 3-axis ‘pico’ accelerometer, LSM6DSL/M 6-axis inertial module, and the new LSM303AH eCompass help track movement continuously with minimal impact on device battery life by performing various motion-related calculations efficiently on-chip instead of using the main system processor. Pre-embedded algorithms that include high-precision pedometer, step detection, step counting, and significant motion and tilt detection effectively reduce engineering effort and accelerate time to market for imaginative new apps on devices such as fitness bands, medical monitors, personal navigation and IoT nodes, in addition to smartphones and wearable devices.
