TDK’s SmartMotion® high-performance optical image stabilization (OIS) solution brings crisp, blur-free photos and videos to a wide range of smartphones, tablets and cameras
The new custom sensing solution for OIS supports superb image stabilization and quality, even in low light
Now in production, the ICM-536xx IMU is immediately available to select customers by direct sales inquiry

OIS technology compensates for hand shake and movement, delivering clearer photos and smoother videos in low light, even during zoom or long-exposure shots. As consumer demand for high-quality mobile photography and videography continues to surge, OIS has become a must-have feature in mid-range and flagship smartphones alike. Building on 15 years of leadership in developing premium OIS/EIS custom sensing solutions for select smartphone and camera OEMs, TDK’s new ICM-536xx empowers manufacturers to integrate advanced OIS into a broader range of devices, meeting the growing expectations of content creators and everyday users. It supports up to 6.4 kHz ODR and up to 20-bit data resolution for optimal image quality.

“OIS has been a premium feature historically reserved for high-end smartphones, due to the cost, size, and power consumption of the required sensor technology,” said Pankaj Aggarwal, VP and GM of Consumer and Industrial Motion Sensor Business at InvenSense, a TDK Group company. “TDK’s new ICM-536xx family addresses these challenges head-on, offering a thinner, power-efficient, and mainstream solution without compromising on performance.”
