Dual axis MEMS gyroscope Wii gets reverse costing engineering analysis by Research and Markets

January 11, 2011 – BUSINESS WIRE — Research and Markets added the "Invensense IDG 600/650 MEMS gyro 2-axes Reverse Costing" report to their offering. The report offers reverse costing & engineering process analysis of the Dual-Axis MEMS Gyroscope IDG-600/650 supplied by InvenSense and integrated in Wii motion accessory, including physical analysis, reconstruction of the process flow, and estimates on manufacturing and selling prices.

The IDG-600, integrated in the Nintendo Wii Motion Plus accessory and its standard variation IDG-650 share the same hardware. The components are manufactured using a three-bonded-wafer processs: a thin sensor wafer and a protective cap wafer processed with bulk micro machining and an ASIC wafer for signal conditioning.

The IDG-600/650 gyroscopes are suitable for high-performance motion-sensing game controllers, pointing devices, multimedia remotes, and computer mice applications.

This report provides complete teardown of the MEMS Gyroscope with:

  • Detailed photos
  • Material analysis 
  • Schematic assembly description
  • Manufacturing Process Flow
  • In-depth economical analysis
  • Manufacturing cost breakdown
  • Selling price estimation

The report includes a glossary and overview, as well as description of the reverse costing methodology. The InvenSense profile covers product range and business model.
