With a significant global presence, TDK operates production and sales facilities across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, delivering advanced technological solutions worldwide.
The technology that delivers the metaverse will build on the technology for virtual reality, using more sensors, and more different kinds of sensors. TDK has one of the richest sensor portfolios in the industry.
TDK’s ultra-compact DC-DC converters are helping bring carrier aggregation to reality by powering the FPGAs and next-generation chipsets in the network.
VR devices play a key role in connecting real and virtual spaces, and tiny motion sensors mounted in them are enabling further performance improvements and miniaturization. TDK’s technologies are making the metaverse experience more accessible and more real.
The new EPCOS motor-run capacitors that comply with safety class S2 as well as the IEC 60335-2-24 standard, will come onto the market in September 2023.
TDK Corporation will showcase more than 30 technology demonstrations and experiences across its component and system solution portfolio for the entire spectrum of electronics applications at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada, from January 5th through January 8th. Additionally, TDK plans to release multiple product and partner announcements for its InvenSense brand MEMS sensors throughout the week of the conference.
Factories and manufacturing sites need to prevent anomalies in machinery and equipment to minimize downtime. Productivity can be raised by predicting problems and performing maintenance preemptively, instead of reacting only after breakdowns have occurred. To facilitate this type of predictive maintenance, TDK has developed i3 Micro Module—the world’s first ultracompact sensor module featuring embedded edge AI.
The TDK Robokit1 combines sensors, processors, and actuators on a single board, making it an ideal robotics platform for quick prototyping and development. RoboKit1 integrates key product offerings such as 6-axis IMU, industrial IMU modules, capacitive barometric pressure sensor, digital I²S microphone, temp sensor, ultrasonic Time of Flight (ToF) sensors, magnetometer, and motor controller on a single PCB.
TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) announces that the InvenSense ICP-20100, the latest generation of the SmartPressure MEMS Barometric Pressure Sensors, is now in mass production and has been certified by NextNav. Launched in 2021, the NextNav Certified process independently verifies the InvenSense sensor accuracy measurements, by engaging directly with component manufacturers to rigorously test sensors in real world operating scenarios.
