Invensense was established in June 2003 and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, USA. The main products produced are motion sensing and tracking components.

Investors include Artiman Ventures, Partech International, Sierra Ventures and Qualcomm. The company plans to promote the technology to consumer electronic devices, such as game consoles, smart phones, tablet computers, cameras, navigation devices and toys.

InvenSense is a pioneer of intelligent motion processing solutions and a global industry leader, driving the application of motion sensing human-machine interfaces in consumer electronics. The integrated circuit (IC) provided by the company integrates the motion sensor-gyroscope and corresponding software. It is different from other manufacturers and has the advantages of small size, high integration, high performance, high reliability and low price. The company's products can be applied to many markets.

The company has four proprietary technical advantages: patented Nasiri-Fabrication process, advanced MEMS gyroscope design, can provide sensor signal processing solutions (signal processing) and operate the company's motion processing platform (Motion Processing) key fusion algorithm technology ( Sensor Fusion's mixed-signal circuitry, as well as our company's motion processing database and motion sensing application (Motion Application) software solutions. Because of the company's assembleable and scalable platform architecture, from one-axis analog gyroscopes to fully integrated three-axis and six-axis digital motion processing solutions, the company can provide a variety of integrated motion sensing products in the market.

MEMS gyroscope technology

InvenSense is a leader in MEMS motion processing technology to create the next generation of consumer electronics (CE) market. Today, many CE products have begun to use 3-axis MEMS accelerometers (3-axis MEMS accelerometers) as the main motion sensing products. These motion sensors have limited functions and can only be used to sense the most basic movements. For example, they can be used on Apple iPhone to detect how the phone is held to determine the upright or horizontal position of the picture, or on the NintendoWii mobile remote control to control game functions. InvenSense's technology brings the market from pure motion sensing to a new era of motion processing for the next generation.

Motion processing technology (motionprocessing)

Provides true 1:1 motion sensing. Compared with other solutions, motion processing technology provides higher efficiency and more functions, and promotes the development of more complete game solutions for the next generation, such as Wii Motion Plus and mobile phones controlled by gestures. Development, 3D remote control and other innovative consumer product applications.

The gyroscope is a motion processing technology that uses a new-generation mass to vibrate the MEMS angular velocity sensing component. Before InvenSense developed a highly integrated gyroscope, traditional gyroscopes were not suitable for the mainstream market of CE products due to their high cost, large size, and fragile structure.

InvenSense is a pioneer in the development of multi-axis angular velocity gyroscopes in response to the needs of the handheld CE product market. In 2006, InvenSense launched the world's first high-performance dual-axis gyroscope. In 2007, InvenSense developed the industry's smallest dual-axis gyroscope for CE applications, setting targets for today's industry.

TDK acquires InvenSense to strengthen IoT product line

In 2016, TDK acquired InvenSense, TDK’s three key businesses: automotive, ICT, and industrial and power systems. Due to the promotion of the Internet of Things (IoT) concept, sensor technology has become the core of the three businesses, especially automotive autonomous driving technology. , And the smart grid technology of the power system are all promising new fields of business. Therefore, TDK acquired InvenSense to actively develop related products such as orientation and motion sensors, current sensors, air pressure and humidity sensing modules, and ultra-small microphones.

Invensense is product portfolio consists of Motion sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes.
