EMCORE Introduces New TAC-440 MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit
11 September 2023 - 9:30PM
EMCORE Corporation (Nasdaq: EMKR), the world’s largest independent
provider of inertial navigation solutions to the aerospace and
defense industry, announced today the introduction of the TAC-440
MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), the world’s smallest 1°/hour
IMU. Featuring an ultra-compact package of less than 5 cubic
inches, the TAC-440 is a higher-performance, form, fit, and
function compatible replacement for the Honeywell 1930 and 4930
IMUs.
The breakthrough performance of the TAC-440 IMU is based on
EMCORE’s proven quartz MEMS inertial sensor technology. EMCORE’s
quartz technology enables repeatable, high-volume production of
precisely machined sensor structures combined with the inherent
large signal output and thermal stability of quartz materials. The
TAC-440 features 1°/hour gyro bias and 1 mg accelerometer bias
stability with very low 0.05°/√hour Angle Random Walk (ARW) over a
wide temperature range. It delivers outstanding performance over
temperature, shock, and vibration environments with a Velocity
Random Walk (VRW) rating of 32 µg/√Hz (τ=-1/2).
The TAC-440 IMU is designed for demanding, mission-critical,
rugged environments in a wide variety of defense, commercial,
industrial, and marine applications. The solid-state quartz sensors
and hermetically sealed IMU construction provide reliable MTBF and
storage life. Continuous Built-in Test (BIT), configurable
communications protocols, electromagnetic interference (EMI)
protection make the TAC-440 IMU easy to use in a wide range of
higher-order integrated system applications.
“We are excited to announce the introduction of the TAC-440 as a
critical addition to our IMU product suite,” said Matthew Vargas,
EMCORE’s Vice President of Sales. “We feel it fills an important
role in extreme shock and vibe conditions providing a more compact
yet equally performing complement to our highly successful SDI500
IMU, and we anticipate successful qualification supporting key
customer’s program needs.”
The TAC-440 supports four data message synchronization methods
with either input synchronization pulse capability or an output
time of validity capability. The user can choose whether the
synchronization pulse is internally generated and output as a Time
of Validity (TOV) of the output data or whether the TAC-440
software will identify the synchronization pulse input and
synchronize the output data to the input pulse.
We would welcome a deeper engagement with technical teams around
the world to explore how the TAC-440 IMU can be the solution for
your guidance, navigation, and control requirements. For further
