High Performance,
Digital Output Gyroscope
ADXRS450
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Complete rate gyroscope on a single chip
300°/sec angular rate sensing
The ADXRS450 is an angular rate sensor (gyroscope) intended
for industrial, medical, instrumentation, stabilization, and other
high performance applications. An advanced, differential, quad
sensor design rejects the influence of linear acceleration, enabling
the ADXRS450 to operate in exceedingly harsh environments
where shock and vibration are present.
High vibration rejection over a wide frequency range
Excellent 25°/hour null offset stability
Internally temperature compensated
2000 g powered shock survivability
SPI digital output with 16-bit data-word
Low noise and low power
3.3 V and 5 V operation
−40°C to +105°C operation
Ultrasmall, light, and RoHS compliant
Two package options
The ADXRS450 uses an internal, continuous self-test archi-
tecture. The integrity of the electromechanical system is checked
by applying a high frequency electrostatic force to the sense
structure to generate a rate signal that can be differentiated from
the baseband rate data and internally analyzed.
The ADXRS450 is capable of sensing angular rate of up to
±±00ꢀ°sec. Angular rate data is presented as a 16-bit word, as
part of a ±2-bit SPI message.
Low cost SOIC_CAV package for yaw rate (Z-axis) response
Innovative ceramic vertical mount package, which can be
oriented for pitch, roll, or yaw response
The ADXRS450 is available in a cavity plastic 16-lead SOIC
(SOIC_CAV) and an SMT-compatible vertical mount package
(LCC_V), and is capable of operating across both a wide voltage
range (±.± V to 5 V) and temperature range (−40ꢀC to +105ꢀC).
