LISY300AL Single-Axis Yaw Rate Sensor - STMicroelectronics

STMicroelectronics has introduced the LISY300AL Single-axis Yaw Rate Sensor. The new surface-mount MEMS (Micro Electrical Mechanical Systems) device is suitable for applications requiring an angular rate sensing up to 300 degrees per second. The low-power LISY300AL yaw rate sensor is able to provide the measured angular rate to the external world through an analog output voltage. The LISY300AL yaw rate sensor is suitable for a variety of applications, including: motion control with Man-Machine Interface (MMI), gaming and virtual reality input devices, GPS navigation systems, image stabilization for digital video and digital still cameras and robotics.

LISY300AL Single-axis Yaw Rate Sensor - Functional Diagram

LISY300AL Single-axis Yaw Rate Sensor exhibits stable sensitivity and bias-voltage throughout variations in temperature and over the device’s lifetime. This simplifies design and promotes reliable operation. Also featuring a co-integrated low-pass filter and dedicated IC interface, the LISY300AL Single-axis Yaw Rate Sensor enables a compact, low-noise solution using minimal external components. In addition, high survivability of shock and vibration allows use in demanding environments including industrial and automotive systems. An embedded self-test function provides extra assurance of accuracy and reliability.
