- Sensor Axes: 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer. Confirm the value and its datasheet test conditions for the exact ordering suffix.
- Gyroscope Range: ±250, ±500, ±1000 and ±2000 dps. Confirm the value and its datasheet test conditions for the exact ordering suffix.
- Accelerometer Range: ±2, ±4, ±8 and ±16 g. Confirm the value and its datasheet test conditions for the exact ordering suffix.
- Digital Interfaces: I²C and SPI. Confirm logic levels, signaling mode, host support and required external components.
Application and qualification considerations
When evaluating this sensor, confirm measurement range, sensitivity, noise, output data rate, interface voltage, calibration needs and mechanical orientation. For a new design, review power-up behavior, interface timing, absolute maximum ratings, thermal limits and any external-component requirements in the latest manufacturer documentation. Existing-board replacement work should additionally confirm pinout, footprint, firmware assumptions and qualification grade.
Procurement checks for ICM-20648
The recorded package is 24-pin LGA, 3 mm × 3 mm × 0.9 mm, the temperature range is -40°C to +85°C, and the lifecycle status is NRND as of 2026-07-21.

How ICM-20648 differs from related orderable parts
ICM-20648 belongs to the ICM-20648 family. Compared with ICM-20602, the recorded differences include functional description: six-axis motion-tracking device with an embedded digital motion processor versus six-axis motion-tracking device with low-noise gyroscope and accelerometer; package: 24-pin LGA, 3 mm × 3 mm × 0.9 mm versus 16-pin LGA, 3 mm × 3 mm × 0.75 mm; pin/contact count: 24 pins, leads or contacts versus 16 pins, leads or contacts; and Key Function: Digital Motion Processor and FIFO rather than Low-noise 6-axis motion tracking. A shared family name does not establish pin, firmware or qualification compatibility.

For an RFQ or AVL review, quote the complete ICM-20648 code and verify the manufacturer ordering table, package drawing, packing method and revision. The related numbers above are comparison references, not declared drop-in replacements.
Exact order-code identity for ICM-20648
For BOM, label, AVL and RFQ matching, preserve these visible code segments: opening alphabetic sequence ICM and terminal numeric sequence two zero six four eight. The nearest published comparison codes are ICM-20602; ICM-20649; and ICM-20600. Compare every segment because a changed character can identify a different density, voltage, package, temperature, qualification or packing option.
Do not shorten the requested code to ICM-20648 or remove its terminal characters. Ask the supplier to reproduce the complete code on the quotation and provide label or traceability evidence when exact suffix matching is mandatory.
