Published

on


– TOKYO, Japan, October 11, 2006 –

Epson Toyocom Corporation, the leader in quartz devices, has announced the successful commercialization of the XV-8000CB, the world’s smallest*1 high-precision gyro sensor with an ultra-compact and ultra-thin design that enables greater system performance. The XV-8000CB is ideal for DR (dead reckoning)*2, the positioning method used in car navigation systems. It is expected to become one of the core products of Epson Toyocom’s sensing device business. Samples will begin shipping in December 2006.

The XV-8000CB leverages the excellent stability of crystal-based gyro elements in addition to Epson Toyocom’s original crystal microprocessing technology, low-power analog circuit technology, and packaging technology to achieve a gyro sensor that is both highly accurate and the world’s smallest at just 5.0 x 3.2 x 1.3 mm. In addition, its unique device structure gives superior resistance to shock and vibration.

Consumers are demanding more features and better accuracy for car navigation systems and other GPS applications. The ultra-compact and thin structure of the XV-8000CB gives more freedom in design and makes it possible to squeeze more features into a compact space.

Epson Toyocom develops gyro sensors and a variety of other sensing devices to provide solutions that meet the needs of our customers.
