HOW DOES IT WORK?

6DOF IMU 16 Click is based on the ICM-45605, an ultra-high-performance 6-axis MEMS IMU with the world's first BalancedGyro™ technology and the lowest power consumption from TDK InvenSense. The sensor combines a 3‑axis gyroscope and a 3‑axis accelerometer in a compact package. Thanks to the BalancedGyro™ technology, the gyroscope MEMS architecture, a supreme vibration rejection and temperature stability performance is achieved. It has a digital-output gyroscope angular rate with a programmable full-scale range of ±15.625, ±31.25, ±62.5, ±125, ±250, ±500, ±1000, and ±2000 degrees/sec. The accelerometer also has a digital output with a programmable full-scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, and ±16g.

The ICM-45605's on-chip digital motion processor enables advanced motion algorithms and machine learning capability. The sensors have a self-test, low noise power mode support, good sensitivity, and more. The ICM-45605 also includes the APEX motion features such as pedometer, tilt detection, raise to wake/sleep, tap detection, wake on motion, and more. In addition, there is also a FIFO buffer of up to 8KB, enabling the application MCU to read the data in bursts.

6DOF IMU 16 Click can use a standard 4-wire SPI serial interface to communicate with the host MCU supporting clock frequency of up to 24MHz. It can also use a standard 2-wire I2C supporting a maximum bus speed of 1MHz. The I2C address can be selected over the ADDR SEL jumper. The communication selection can be made over the COMM SEL jumpers. You can also choose between a single or dual interface over the Interface jumper. This allows you to use an I2C interface as a host while using the SPI. The APEX hardware will interrupt the host MCU over two interrupt pins (I1 and I2) if an interrupt event occurs, such as tilt detection, tap, or whatever events are pre-programmed to those pins.

At the bottom of the board, two LP CUT low-power jumpers allow you to use 6DOF IMU 16 Click in a true low-power mode or with a battery-powered device, such as our Clicker 2 series of development boards.

This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. Also, it comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
