L3G4200DTR

L3G4200D MEMS motion sensor: ultra-stable three-axis digital output gyroscope Preliminary data Features Three selectable full scales (250/500/2000 dps) 2 I C/SPI digital output interface 16 bit-rate value data output 8-bit temperature data output LGA-16 (4x4x1.1 mm) Two digital output lines (interrupt and data ready) Integrated low- and high-pass filters with user- Description selectable bandwidth The L3G4200D is a low-power three-axis angular Ultra-stable over temperature and time rate sensor able to provide unprecedented Wide supply voltage: 2.4 V to 3.6 V stablility of zero rate level and sensitivity over Low voltage-compatible IOs (1.8 V) temperature and time. It includes a sensing element and an IC interface capable of providing Embedded power-down and sleep mode the measured angular rate to the external world Embedded temperature sensor 2 through a digital interface (I C/SPI). Embedded FIFO The sensing element is manufactured using a High shock survivability dedicated micro-machining process developed by STMicroelectronics to produce inertial sensors Extended operating temperature range (-40 C and actuators on silicon wafers. to +85 C) ECOPACK RoHS and Green compliant The IC interface is manufactured using a CMOS process that allows a high level of integration to design a dedicated circuit which is trimmed to Applications better match the sensing element characteristics. Gaming and virtual reality input devices The L3G4200D has a full scale of 250/500/ Motion control with MMI (man-machine 2000 dps and is capable of measuring rates with interface) a user-selectable bandwidth. GPS navigation systems The L3G4200D is available in a plastic land grid Appliances and robotics array (LGA) package and can operate within a temperature range of -40 C to +85 C. Table 1.
