Posted by Arslan on September 10th, 2019

The gyroscope is a device that is used for navigation and measuring angular velocity. MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System) gyroscope is when the gyroscope made using MEMS technology. The advent of MEMS technology enables the development of low-power, low-cost, and miniaturized sensors. MEMS gyroscope uses very small vibrating mechanism in order to detect changes in the orientation and angular velocity.

MEMS gyroscopes have shown high performance and low power consumption. They are produced on a large scale at low cost with the small form factor for the consumer electronics market. MEMS Gyroscopes Market are used in the image stabilization, automotive airbag systems and roll-over prevention, and have various other potential applications.

MEMS Gyroscopes Market: Notable Highlights

STMicroelectronics has released new gyroscope and accelerometer SiP IC with the built-in machine learning. The new sensor, LSM6DSOX is on the 3D gyroscope and 3D accelerometer and can be accessed via I2C and SPI, as well as via I3C and is compliant with Android. It also incorporates significant tilt and motion detection.

TDK Corporation through its company, InvenSense is working with Qualcomm Technologies to provide MEMS audio and motion sensor solutions for Qualcomm Robotics RB3 platform. The new platform by Qualcomm will support InvenSense’s 6 axis IMUs including 3 axis gyroscope and 3 axis accelerometer.

Murata has collaborated with eSoftThings to offer high quality platform and hardware solutions. These new solutions couple advanced sensor technologies and communication modules by Murata with IoT platform by eSoftThings.

Some of the leading players in the MEMS gyroscopes market are Bosch, STMicroelectronics, Analog Devices, Memsic, Kionix (ROHM), InvenSense, Murata, Maxim Integrated, and Epson Toyocom.

Increasing number of smartphone manufacturers are using MEMS gyroscopes owing to its small size, low power consumption, higher performance, and low cost. The iPhone 4 was the first mobile phone to integrate MEMS gyroscope. MEMS sensors including gyroscopes and accelerometers are being integrated into wearable devices used in the motion tracking system. MEMS gyroscopes and accelerometers are used in sports and fitness tracking wearable devices.

One particular use of MEMS gyroscopes is tracking body motion in biofeedback system. Biofeedback refers to the body activity in the sense of the physical movement. The biofeedback sensors use MEMS gyroscopes as it is the sensor attached to the person’s body to measure bodily functions and parameters. Moreover, with successful application of Augmented Reality (AR) in various industries, MEMS gyroscope is used on a large scale to detect complex changes in the angular velocity for the AR apps, for instance, watching 360? videos or using a smartphone as the steering wheel in the games.

Wide Application of MEMS Gyroscopes in the Automotive Industry

MEMS technology with a wide variety of MEMS sensors have found wide application in the automotive industry. MEMS gyroscopes and accelerometers are gaining traction in the automotive industry related to the passenger safety. Manufacturers in the automotive industry are using MEMS gyroscopes on a large scale to detect rollover, particularly in the tall vehicles and also to measure the roll rate which is integrated to determine roll angle of the vehicle. Moreover, the vehicle dynamic control system also includes gyroscopes as it measures the turn rate of the vehicle.

In terms of the navigation system in vehicles, GPS cannot provide all the information if signals are obstructed by tunnels, tall buildings, mountains and other such objects. Hence, in such cases, GPS system uses MEMS gyroscope.

Challenges with Designing MEMS Gyroscopes to Hamper the MEMS Gyroscopes Market

Miniaturization is one of the biggest advantages of MEMS which significantly reduces the cost and power consumption. However, any significant reduction in the size of gyroscopes may result in loss of its performance. Hence, designing of MEMS gyroscope needs to be focused on while developing MEMS gyroscopes. Gyroscopes are the two high performing MEMS devices that are integrated into a single device to work together and offer results. Achieving low cost and high performance MEMS solution is also the challenge in the MEMS gyroscopes market.

The performance of gyroscopes is sensitive to all the potential manufacturing variations, temperatures, linear accelerations, packaging, etc. Hence, a lot of care needs to be taken during initial design phase in order to achieve better performance and low cost. Meanwhile, packaging gyroscope is also one of the major challenges in the MEMS gyroscopes market. To achieve the low cost, manufacturer need to address MEMS product packaging issues in the initial phase during the design.
