Fail-safe iMEMS gyroscope provides shock, vibration immunity for auto apps

Qualified for automotive safety applications, the ADXRS800 iMEMS gyroscope from Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) features a patented differential quad-beam architecture designed to minimize the influence of linear shock and vibration.

According to ADI, the ADXRS800 is the most stable, vibration-immune automotive-grade gyro available while a continuous electro-mechanical self-test feature ensures the integrity of the gyro output signal. The ADXRS800 is aimed specifically at automotive electronic stability control, rollover detection, and pitch detection applications,

Key highlights:

• Sensitivity to linear acceleration is specified at only 0.03 °/sec/g
• Offers a measurement range of ±300°/s at high resolution of 80 LSB/°/s
• Vibration rectification is 0.0002 °/sec/g2
• Noise-rate density is 0.02°/sec/√Hz at +105°C
• Null offset variation is 3°/s maximum over temperature and product life.
• Power consumption is 6 milliamps under typical conditions.
• Available in a cavity plastic SOIC-16 (Z-axis) and a SMT-compatible vertical mount package (X-axis)
• Capable of operating across an extended temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C
