Panasonic has developed an inertial sensor signal processing IC chip measuring less than 2mm on each side, realizing the smallest size in the world. Panasonic has achieved this technology by developing 1.8V 110nm BiCMOS with the industry’s minimum design rule, allowing the surface area of the high-precision analog circuits to be halved. Panasonic’s inertial sensor signal processing IC chips help reduce the size and enhance the functions of inertial sensor modules to be used in various different products, including mobile products and game machines.
Mass production of the IC chips has already begun this month. This newly developed technology will soon be deployed in signal processing ICs for various sensors.
