Coin-cell sized module fits on space-constrained PCBs.

The MM7150 motion module is no larger than a standard CR2032 coin cell battery.

Microchip Technology has just introduced a second-generation MIPS-derived processor hub for use in space-constrained embedded apps for the Internet of Things, wearable fitness monitoring, remote controls and gaming.

Unlike the first-generation SSC7102 in an 84in TFBGA form, the new SSC7150 adopts a 28-pin QFN package. It is only available as part of the latest MM7150 motion module.

For use in the extremely small custom PCBs typical of such designs, the module measures 17x17mm or about the size of a standard CR2032 coin cell battery. All components are integrated, calibrated and available for PCB mounting.

In the active mode, the 3.3V component consumes about 7.68mA. But reflecting its usage in a variety of untethered IoT and wearable apps, the motion module in the deep-sleep mode consumes only 70µA, about four times lower than the standalone predecessor 7102 CPU.
