The ADXRS401 is a functionally complete and low cost angular rate sensor (gyroscope), integrated with all of the required electronics on one chip. It is manufactured using Analog Devices’ surface-micromachining technique, the same high volume BIMOS process used for high reliability. The ADXRS401 has a ±75°/s measurement accuracy, a Z-axis (yaw-rate) response, high vibration rejection over a wide frequency, 2000 g powered shock survivability, self-test on digital command, temperature sensor output, precision voltage reference output, absolute rate output for precision applications, 5 V single-supply operation, and is ultra small and light (< 0.15 cc, < 0.5 gram). It can be used for GPS navigation systems, image stabilization, inertial measurement units, and platform stabilization.
