TDK Corp. has announced the InvenSense SmartMotion ICM-536xx family of high-performance six-axis IMUs, delivering optical image stabilization (OIS) to smartphones, tablets, and cameras. These IMUs feature a new custom sensing solution for OIS that supports image stabilization and quality even in low light.
Consumer demand for high-quality mobile photography and videography continues to increase, making it a feature requirement for both flagship and mid-range smartphones. OIS technology delivers clearer photos and smoother videos in low light, even during zoom or long-exposure shots by compensating for hand shake and movement, TDK said.
“OIS has been a premium feature historically reserved for high-end smartphones, due to the cost, size, and power consumption of the required sensor technology,” said Pankaj Aggarwal, VP and GM of Consumer and Industrial Motion Sensor Business at InvenSense, a TDK Group company, in a statement.

The ICM-536xx six-axis IMUs enable manufacturers to integrate advanced OIS into a broader range of devices by offering a thinner, power-efficient, and mainstream solution. They support up to 6.4-kHz output data rate and up to 20-bit data resolution for high image quality. Other features include a wide full-scale range of ±32 g/±4,000 dps, FSYNC input for image frame synchronization, on-chip free-fall detection, and I3C/I²C/SPI serial interfaces with 1.2-V VDDIO support.
