GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ICM-20648 is a 6-axis MotionTracking device that is
ideally suited for Smartphones, Tablets, Wearable Sensors,
and general IoT applications.
• 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, and a Digital
Motion Processor™ (DMPTM) in a 3x3x0.9mm (24-pin
QFN) package
• Step Count, Activity Classifier, and B2S (Bring-to-See)
Gesture tuned for Wrist Worn Wearable Applications
• DMP offloads computation of motion processing
algorithms from the host processor, improving system
power performance
• Software drivers are fully compliant with Google’s latest
Android release
• Enhanced FSYNC functionality to improve timing for
applications like EIS
ICM-20648 supports an auxiliary I2
C interface to external
sensors, on-chip 16-bit ADCs, programmable digital filters, an embedded temperature sensor, and programmable
interrupts. The device features an operating voltage range
down to 1.71V. Communication ports include I2
C and high speed SPI at 7 MHz.
