Panasonic Industry Europe developed a 6-axis inertial sensor series that provides installation freedom, additional functionalities to onboard systems with this one-chip-solution, and – being ASIL-B(D)-compliant – a high level of functional safety.

The new 6-axis Gyro & Accelerometer 6DoF sensor series from Panasonic Industry, also called “6in1 sensor”, is available in a wettable flank QFN package. This housing benefits from a special edge that forms a step. The solder creates a reliable connection in the throat of this step. This allows high-quality soldering and thus error-free assembly, which is essential for automotive safety (electronic stability control, ABS brakes, traction control), comfort (navigation, head-up display, driver-assist & comfort), and industrial applications (off-highway industry, AGV, robotics).

A key purpose of the 6DoF sensor is the possibility to detect motion of a vehicle in harsh vibration circumstances, for example when a car suddenly leaves the road. Then the sensor uses data to adjust the torque of motor and the braking force to achieve a safe vehicle status.
