TDK InvenSense is proud to introduce the world’s first MEMS Ultrasonic time of flight sensors, the MOD-CH101-03-01. Known as the Chirp Series of products, the MOD-CH101-03-01 is the first release in a soon to be released family of products that is an extremely low power, ultrasonic 3D-sensing solution to empower numerous consumer electronics, smart home, and industrial automation devices. |

Chirp offers an easy-to-use ultrasonic software library (USL) that provides 2D and 3D position tracking using Chirp’s proprietary hardware. The ultrawide field-of-view means that the ultrasound-based systems do not suffer from occlusion problems that plague optical tracking systems. The library provides fast update rates using a low-cost sensor hub. Application-specific solutions for wearable and VR/AR/gaming products are available today.
Chirp’s ultrasonic sensing solution provides millimeter-accurate range information. Unlike optical solutions, ultrasonic range finding works in any lighting conditions, including full sunlight, and can detect any color and materials, including optically transparent targets like glass windows. Solutions available today for mobile, robotics, and home automation.
The design kit, DK-CH101-01 contains the Chirp chip and is ready for immediate evaluation and testing. These products are scheduled to be released in October and orders can be placed in advanced.
