Wide Bandwidth Yaw Rate Gyroscope with SPI

The ADIS16060 is a yaw rate gyroscope with an integrated serial peripheral interface (SPI). It features an externally selectable bandwidth response and scalable dynamic range.

The SPI port provides access to the rate sensor, an internal temperature sensor, and two external analog signals (using internal ADC). The digital data available at the SPI port is proportional to the angular rate about the axis that is normal to the top surface of the package.

An additional output pin provides a precision voltage reference. A digital self-test function electromechanically excites the sensor to test the operation of the sensor and the signal-conditioning circuits.

The ADIS16060 is available in an 8.2 mm × 8.2 mm × 5.2 mm, 16-terminal, peripheral land grid array (LGA) package.
