ADIS16250 gyroscope is the newest addition to the iSensor family of highly integrated intelligent sensors. Low-power, highly programmable device contains the embedded calibration, tuning, and control functionality required to detect the rate at which a system is rotating. It is said to be the first MEMS gyroscope to provide digital range scaling and embedded programmability, eliminating a significant barrier to integrating gyroscopes into industrial systems. Device leverages the company’s iMEMS Motion Signal Processing tech-nology. It requires less than half the design space of existing multi-component discrete solutions while offering more advanced control functionality. Applications include instrumentation, platform stabilization, and navigation where design flexibility and ease-of-use are critical.
