Dedicated Hardware/Software Solutions for Motion Processing

Movea®'s MotionCore™ products are a family of dedicated motion processing IP solutions. Each MotionCore solution defines an implementation of Movea's SmartMotion® technology which can be deployed either as software and run on standard microprocessing platforms or, alternatively, Movea can provide MotionCore solutions as dedicated hardware architectures at the semiconductor level to further improve performance and power consumption.

 

MotionCore dedicated processing cores deliver substantial cost, power consumption, and performance benefits to sensor and semiconductor manufacturers that want to fulfill the market’s growing need for smarter motion-aware devices.

MotionCore products deliver an optimized mix of hardware and software IP. MotionCore hardware solutions are fully synthesizable processing engine architectures optimized for motion-sensing and sensor-fusion applications.

MotionCore software solutions are available for a wide range of microprocessor platforms. This flexibility to provide optimized solutions which balance hardware and software implementations means that MotionCore products make it easy for sensor, processor, and platform vendors to add motion intelligence to their designs.


MotionCore delivers a scalable, modular, and sensor-agnostic software/hardware solution that provides the optimum balance for sensor fusion, motion sensing, and power consumption.

 

MotionCore solutions include:

 

  • Dedicated MotionCore Processor (MCP) with Movea’s SmartMotion algorithms
  • Movea SmartMotion firmware optimized for microcontroller targets
  • Suite of reference stimuli and test patterns for system validation
  • Libraries of industry-recognized MEMS characterization parameters

 

 

The MotionCore product family has important benefits for both semiconductor manufacturers and CE device manufacturers:

 

  • Offloading tasks from the host processor for better device performance
  • Dramatically reduced power consumption associated with motion processing
  • Significantly lower cost than a software-only solution
  • Sensor-agnostic for supply chain freedom
  • Scalability and flexibility—HW/SW partitioning can be optimized for price/performance
  • Accelerated time to market for high-demand motion features
  • Reduced execution risk and IP risk

 

MotionCore solutions are scalable and flexible — HW/SW partitioning can be optimized for price/performance.
Choose the right combination of MotionCore™ software and hardware for your application. MotionCore sensor fusion combinations are created for customized applications.

 

Saves power in mobile devices

For 3D dynamic orientation features running on a mobile phone, MotionCore provides:

 

  • 25x less power consumption than running the same signal processing logic on the phone’s application processor
  • Only about $0.05 incremental die cost at the semiconductor level

MotionCore is ideal for incorporating motion technology into semiconductor products destined for mobile phones and other CE devices. When high performance, low cost, and low power consumption are needed, MotionCore can be delivered as a standalone custom processing core, or integrated into standard DSPs and microprocessors.

 

Movea's MotionCore software is compatible with applications throughout entire silicon ecosystem.
