In order to make sensor fusion easy and provide a large selection of supported sensors, Microchip Technology has introduced a low-power, flexible and turnkey sensor hub, the SSC7102. It consumes more than 4 mA while running complex sensor-fusion algorithms, resulting in longer battery life for Windows 8.1 tablets, laptops, ultrabooks and smartphones.
Microchip's low-power SSC7102 sensor hub runs these complex sensor-fusion algorithms, while providing maximum flexibility in an easy-to-implement solution.
"Microchip has long been a leader in embedded controllers for PCs and laptops. As the PC platform evolves with ultrabooks and tablets, Microchip is extending its portfolio to support the growing need for motion data. In developing the SSC7102, we partnered with industry-leading companies such as Bosch and Movea to deliver an easy-to-use, Windows 8.1-certified HID-over-I2C solution with exceptionally low power consumption." said Patrick Johnson, Vice President of Microchip's Computing Products Group.
Microchip's SSC7102 sensor hub is available in a 6mm x 6mm body, BGA package. It is supplied in 10,000-unit quantities. Samples are available now, via Microchip's sales representatives, and volume production is expected by the end of this quarter.
