Functional Diagram
General Description
The MLX90609 Angular Rate Sensor is a full
gyroscopic system. A single SMD package
contains a high performance silicon micro
machined sensor with signal conditioning
circuitry. It operates from 5V supply and is
designed
applications.
for
demanding
automotive
The MLX90609 delivers two output signals
proportional to the angular rate perpendicular
to the assembly surface. One of the output
signals is in an analog voltage format (the
output is 2.5V at zero angular rate and the full
scale angular rate produces an output of 4.5V
or 0.5V depending on direction of rotation)
and the other one is in digital SPI format.
