A global distribution agreement has been signed by Mouser Electronics and InvenSense, a TDK Group company and a provider of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor platforms. “This global agreement with InvenSense continues our commitment to providing the latest in MEMS sensors,” said Kristin Schuetter, Vice President, Supplier Management, Mouser Electronics.

“Design engineers will have easy access to InvenSense's world-class portfolio of MEMS devices and evaluation tools, backed by Mouser's unsurpassed customer service and best-in-class logistics", she added.

“With Mouser Electronics as a global channel partner, InvenSense can better support our customers and enhance our worldwide distribution network,” said Dan Goehl, Vice President, Worldwide Sales, InvenSense. "By capitalising on Mouser's excellent supply-chain services and support, we can expand our global presence and get our products into the hands of design engineers even quicker.”

InvenSense provides solutions that combine MEMS sensors with proprietary algorithms and firmware to intelligently process, synthesise, and calibrate the output of sensors, maximising performance and accuracy. The products are ideal for mobile, wearables, smart home, industrial, automotive, and Internet of Things (IoT) products.

Products available at Mouser Electronics include a range of MEMS audio and motion digital output. This complete microphone solution is ideal for microphone arrays and can support up to 16 synchronised microphones on one data line, which can significantly reduce the cost and complexity of the audio signal chain. 

Also in stock at the distributor are three series of InvenSense’s MotionTracking devices. The ICM-20602 high-performance six-axis MEMS MotionTracking device combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a three-axis accelerometer in a small 3.0 × 3.0 × 0.75mm package.

The device offers gyroscope sensitivity error of ±1 percent, and includes a 1kByte FIFO to reduce traffic on the serial bus interface and to minimise system power consumption.

The ICM-20648 6-axis MEMS MotionTracking device features an onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP), which offloads computation of motion processing algorithms from the host processor to improve system power performance.

It is a three-axis gyroscope and a three-axis accelerometer in a small 3.0 × 3.0 × 0.9mm package.

Tuned for wrist-worn wearables, the ICM-20648 includes step count, activity classifier, and Bring-to-See (B2S) gesture applications.         

The ultra-low-power ICM-20948 nine-axis MEMS MotionTracking device offers a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, and 3-axis compass integrated in a 3.0 × 3.0 × 1.0mm, 24-pin QFN package.

The device runs at just 2.65mW and includes an on-chip DMP and run-time calibration firmware to enable designers to eliminate the costly and complex selection, qualification, and system-level integration of discrete devices.
