Key upgrade point: K20 adopts a dual-differential MEMS accelerometer architecture, and the temperature drift and vibration rectification error (VRE) are significantly optimized; The gyroscope re-calibrates the temperature, and the zero-bias drift in the entire temperature range is significantly better than SCH16T-K01, suitable for long-term GNSS-free inertial calculation scenarios Murata Man...。

III. Core features of the product

Ultra-low noise, low temperature drift: the noise of the accelerometer is halved, the temperature deviation is smaller, the accumulated error of the attitude algorithm is reduced, and it is very friendly to inertial navigation dead reckoning.

Low VRE anti-vibration: dual-difference MEMS, suppress the measurement offset caused by vibration in industrial vibration environment, suitable for robots, gimbals and other strong vibration equipment.

Improve self-diagnosis: Built-in more than 200 internal state monitoring, fault self-diagnosis output, for safety-related industrial systems.

Pin and software compatibility SCH16T-K01/K01: The hardware does not need to be modified, and the firmware can be upgraded with a small amount of adaptation, reducing the iteration cost Murata Man...。

AEC-Q100 Standard Test Verification: According to automotive test standards, but for industrial applications, not for automotive safety systems.
