Product Description
Original TDK InvenSense MPU6050 MPU9250 ICM-20948 6-Axis 9-Axis IMU Sensor
Power your motion-sensing projects with TDK InvenSense, the global industry leader in MEMS MotionTracking™ technology. From the legendary MPU6050/MPU6000 series - the "standard circuit" for DIY drones and robotics - to the advanced ICM-20948 9-axis integrated sensor, InvenSense provides unmatched precision in motion detection. Featuring the patented Digital Motion Processor (DMP), these sensors handle complex fusion algorithms internally, delivering ultra-low noise, high-speed sampling, and stable orientation data. Whether you are building an FPV drone, a quadruped robot, or a high-reliability industrial monitor, TDK InvenSense ensures world-class performance and extensive software compatibility.
Product Highlights
- Integrated Digital Motion Processor (DMP): Offloads complex motion fusion algorithms from the host processor to the sensor for lower latency and power consumption.
- High-Speed SPI/I2C Interfaces: Supports high-speed data transmission for real-time flight control and rapid mechanical response.
- Unmatched Ecosystem Support: Largest community code libraries available (Betaflight, INAV, Arduino), making development rapid and easy.
- 9-Axis All-in-One (ICM-20948): Combines a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, and 3-axis compass in a single tiny package for absolute orientation.
- Industrial Grade Reliability: The IIM-46230 series is specifically designed for harsh environments with extreme vibration and temperature stability.
- Compact MEMS Design: High sensitivity and stability in a miniature footprint, ideal for space-constrained PCB designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between MPU-6050 and MPU-6000?
A: The MPU-6050 supports the I2C interface only, while the MPU-6000 supports both I2C and high-speed SPI (20MHz), making it the preferred choice for high-performance flight controllers.
Q: Can I use the ICM-20948 to replace the discontinued MPU-9250?
A: Yes. The ICM-20948 is the direct successor, offering significantly lower power consumption and improved performance, though a slight code adjustment is needed for the registers.
Q: Does the MPU-6050 require an external processor for Kalman filtering?
A: While you can use an external MCU, the built-in DMP (Digital Motion Processor) can handle basic sensor fusion to save main CPU resources.
Q: Are these sensors original TDK InvenSense parts?
A: Absolutely. We supply 100% genuine parts in original factory packaging with verified lot numbers and date codes.
Q: Which library do you recommend for Arduino users?
A: The "Electronic Cats" or "Jeff Rowberg" libraries are highly recommended for their stability and full feature support for MPU and ICM series.
Q: Can the industrial IIM-46230 withstand heavy machine vibration?
A: Yes, it is specifically ruggedized for industrial applications and maintains extremely low drift even under constant high-vibration conditions.
Q: What voltage should I provide to these sensors?
A: Most raw ICs operate at 1.8V to 3.3V. Our pre-assembled modules typically include a voltage regulator to support a 3.3V-5V input.
