Panasonic EWTS5G series 6-in-1 inertial sensor

Panasonic has added the 6-in-1 inertial sensor to its’ already broad range of specialty sensor solutions.

Panasonic’s 6-in-1 sensor 6DoF (degrees of freedom) inertial sensor meets the ISO26262 functional safety standard for automotive applications. The 6-in-1 inertial sensor features a unique sensing element consisting of three accelerometers and three gyroscopes on one single MEMS chip providing high sensing accuracy and much more system design flexibility. MEMS, ASIC and Cap are directly bonded in the wafer level and packaged. This enables the 6-in-1 inertial sensor to be compact, highly accurate, easy-to-install and highly reliable.

The 6-in-1 Inertial Sensor with 6DoF is available in one very small footprint package size of 4.5mm x 4.5mm x 1.1mm enabling compact and simple ECU system design.
