MPU-9250
| Part Number | MPU-9250 |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | InvenSense / TDK |
| Category | Sensors > Motion Sensors – IMUs (Inertial Measurement Units) |
| Description | 9-Axis MotionTracking device combining a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer, and a Digital Motion Processor (DMP). |
Product Overview
The MPU-9250 is a multi-chip module (MCM) consisting of two dies integrated into a single QFN-24 (3x3x1mm) package. One die houses a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer, while the other die houses the AK8963 3-axis magnetometer. This pioneering 9-axis MotionTracking device is designed for the low power, low cost, and high-performance requirements of consumer electronics, robotics, and wearable devices. It features an onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP) capable of processing complex MotionFusion algorithms, offloading the load from the applications processor and optimizing system power consumption.
Core Advantages
Highly Integrated 9-Axis Design
By combining a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, and 3-axis magnetometer into a single footprint, the MPU-9250 drastically reduces PCB space requirements, simplifies system design, and lowers overall Bill of Materials (BOM) cost.
On-Chip DMP for MotionFusion
Integrated Digital Motion Processor (DMP) runs sensor fusion algorithms internally, reducing host MCU load and enabling low-power, always-on motion tracking.
Wide Dynamic Ranges & High Resolution
User-programmable full-scale ranges for all sensors plus 16-bit ADCs deliver accurate, high-resolution motion data for both slow and fast movement scenarios.
Low Power & Industrial Grade
Optimized power modes extend battery life in wearables; operating temperature from -40°C to +85°C supports industrial and rugged applications.
