OSTSen-9250 v1.0 2 of 9 Hara Systems Inc.
1. OSTSen-9250 Overview
OSTSen-9250 is a motion tracking module, which is based on InvenSense MPU-
9250. The MPU-9250 is a multi-chip(MCM) consisting of two dies integrated into a
single QFN package. One die houses the 3-Axis gyroscope and the 3-Axis
accelerometer. The other die houses the AK8963 3-Axis magnetometer from Asahi
Kasei Microdevices Corporation. Hence, the MPU-9250 is a 9-axis Motion Tracking
device that combines a 3-Axis gyroscope, 3-Axis accelerometer and a Digital Motion
Processor™(DMP) all in a small 3x3x1mm package available as a pin-compatible
upgrade from the MPU-6515. With its dedicated I2C sensor bus, the MPU-9250
directly provides complete 9-Axis MotionFusion™ output. The MPU-9250 Motion
Tracking device, with its 9-axis integration, on-chip Motion Fusion™, and run-time
calibration firmware, enables manufacturers to eliminate the costly and complex
selection, qualification, MPU-9250 is also designed to interface with multiple non-
inertial digital sensors, such as pressure sensors, on its auxiliary I2C port.
MPU-9250 features three 16-bit analog-to-digital converters(ADCs) for digitalizing
the gyroscope outputs, three 16-bit ADCs for digitalizing the magnetometer outputs.
For precision tracking of both fast and slow motions, the parts feature a user-
programmable gyroscope full-scale range of ±250, ±500, ±1000, and
±2000°/sec(dps), a user-programmable accelerometer full-scale range of ±2g, ±4g,
±8g and ±16g, and a magnetometer full-scale range of ±4800uT.
Other industry-leading features include programmable digital filters, a precision
clock with 1% drift from -40°C to 85°C, an embedded temperature sensor, and
programmable interrupts. The device features I2C and SPI serial interfaces, a VDD
operating range of 2.4V to 3.6V, and separate digital IO supply, VDDIO from 1.71V to
VDD.
Communication with all register of the device is performed using either I2C at
400kHz or SPI at 1MHz. For application requiring faster communications, the sensor
and interrupt registers may be read using SPI at 20MHz.
By leveraging its patented and volume-proven CMOS-MEMS fabrication platform,
which integrates MEMS wafers with companion CMOS electronics through wafer-
level bonding, InvenSense has driven the package size down to a footprint and
thickness of 3x3x1mm, to provide a very small yet high performance low cost
package. The device provides high robustness by supporting 10,000g shock
reliability.
