EVAL-ADXRS450Z-V

The ADXRS450 series Angular Rate Sensor (Gyroscope) which uses an advanced, differential, quad sensor design rejects the influence of linear acceleration, enabling the device to operate in exceedingly harsh environments where shock and vibration are present. The ADXRS450 uses an internal, continuous self-test architecture. 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 analysed. The ADXRS450 is capable of sensing angular rate of up to ±300°/sec. Angular rate data is presented as a 16-bit word, as part of a 32-bit SPI message.
