TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) announces a suite of InvenSense sensing solutions for intelligent smart home applications that require precise detection of presence, proximity, sound, tilt, liquid levels, acceleration, or motion. TDK’s ultra-low power sensors – including MEMS microphones, IMUs, and ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) – provide the data needed for today’s AI-enabled home technology.
TDK will present its MEMS and magnetic sensor solutions this week, June 25-26, at Sensors Converge 2025 at the Santa Clara Convention Center (Booth #722).
“MEMS sensors are the foundation of the connected smart home. With our suite of smart home sensing solutions, TDK is uniquely positioned to drive innovation and enhance daily life,” said Fabio Pasolini, VP and GM of the emerging sensors business at InvenSense, a TDK Group company.
With its partner-first approach, TDK offers an array of solutions depending on customers’ needs.
TDK custom sensing solutions for smart home include:
- TDK’s SmartMotion® IMUs with sensor fusion algorithm, including the ICM-42670-S for smart TV remotes and the ICM-42370-P for tilt detection in appliances including washing machines
TDK smart home solutions available at distributors globally include:
- TDK’s SmartSonicTM ICU-30201 ultrasonic time-of-flight, ideal for presence detection required for lighting, security cameras, or locks
- TDK’s SmartSoundTM T5848, T5838, and T5837 MEMS microphones, featuring ultra-low power and acoustic activity detection for alarms, smart speakers, intercoms, and other voice-activated controls
- TDK’s SmartMotion ICM-45605 for angle detection in security applications like smart door locks
More on SmartSonic
Now available at multiple distributors worldwide, the SmartSonic ultrasonic time-of-flight ICU-30201 enhances the contextual awareness of products that require accurate presence, proximity, and distance measurements, such as household robotics, drones, alarm devices, door locks, camera devices, smart building systems, and more. It also embeds a more powerful on-chip processor with higher computational power – all at ultra-low power for energy efficiency. The ICU-30201 is available in an ultra-compact package footprint of 5.17 x 2.68 x 0.9 mm3. Also available at global distribution are the SmartSonic ICU-20201 and ICU-10201.
