San Jose MEMS sensor IC company founded 2003, acquired by TDK in 2017; inventor of the 6-axis IMU, supplying gyroscopes and IMUs for robotics and smartphones.
InvenSense, Inc., headquartered in San Jose, California, was founded in 2003 by Steve Nasiri and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of TDK Corporation following TDK's $1.3 billion acquisition in December 2016. The company operates within TDK's MEMS Sensors Business Group and is credited with inventing the 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU). InvenSense designs and manufactures MEMS-based motion and acoustic sensors, including gyroscopes, accelerometers, IMUs, digital compasses, microphones, TMR sensors, and ultrasonic time-of-flight sensors.
Its MotionTracking SoC integrates MEMS sensors with proprietary algorithms and firmware for precise motion detection. Products are used across consumer electronics (smartphones, tablets, wearables, gaming controllers), automotive systems, industrial IoT, and robotics platforms for navigation and orientation. The company maintains global offices in China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, France, Canada, Slovakia, and Italy, and supplies components to major OEMs worldwide.
Primary type & automation activities this supplier delivers:
High-precision MEMS 6-axis IMU combining 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer in a 2.5mm x 3mm package for robotics, drones, and industrial motion sensing.
