MotionInterface is becoming a “must-have” function being adopted
by smartphone and tablet manufacturers due to the enormous value
it adds to the end user experience. In smartphones, it finds use
in applications such as gesture commands for applications and
phone control, enhanced gaming, augmented reality, panoramic
photo capture and viewing, and pedestrian and vehicle navigation.
With its ability to precisely and accurately track user motions,
MotionTracking technology can convert handsets and tablets into
powerful 3D intelligent devices that can be used in applications
ranging from health and fitness monitoring to location-based
services. Key requirements for MotionInterface enabled devices
are small package size, low power consumption, high accuracy and
repeatability, high shock tolerance, and application specific
performance programmability – all at a low consumer price point.
Key Features
Gyroscope
Features
The triple-axis MEMS gyroscope in the MPU-60X0 includes a wide
range of features:
Digital-output X-, Y-, and
Z-Axis angular rate sensors (gyroscopes) with a
user-programmable fullscale range of ±250, ±500, ±1000, and
±2000°/sec
External sync signal
connected to the FSYNC pin supports image, video and GPS
synchronization
Integrated 16-bit ADCs
enable simultaneous sampling of gyros
Enhanced bias and
sensitivity temperature stability reduces the need for user
calibration

Additional
Features
The MPU-60X0 includes the following additional features:
9-Axis MotionFusion by the
on-chip Digital Motion Processor (DMP)
Auxiliary master I2C bus
for reading data from external sensors (e.g., magnetometer)
3.9mA operating current
when all 6 motion sensing axes and the DMP are enabled
VDD supply voltage range of
2.375V-3.46V
Flexible VLOGIC reference
voltage supports multiple I 2C interface voltages (MPU-6050
only)

package for portable devices: 4x4x0.9mm
Minimal cross-axis
sensitivity between the accelerometer and gyroscope axes
1024 byte FIFO buffer
reduces power consumption by allowing host processor to read
the data in bursts and then go into a low-power mode as the MPU
collects more data
