L3G462A

L3G462A MEMS motion sensor: ± 625 dps full scale - 3-axis analog gyroscope Preliminary data Features ■ ± 625 dps full scale ■ Wide supply voltage range 2.4 V to 3.6 V ■ Embedded power-down and sleep mode to save power consumption and shorten turn-on time ■ Integrated temperature sensor ■ Embedded low pass filter ■ High shock survivability ■ Extended operating temperature range (-40 °C to 85 °C) ■ ECOPACK® RoHS and “Green” compliant Applications ■ Gaming and virtual reality input devices ■ Motion control with MMI (man-machine interface) ■ GPS navigation systems ■ Appliances and robotics LGA-16 (4x4x1.1 mm) 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 better match the sensing element characteristics. The L3G462A is available in a plastic land grid array (LGA) package and can operate within a temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C. Description The L3G462A is a low-power 3-axis angular rate sensor. It includes a sensing element and an IC interface able to provide the measured angular rate to the external world through three analog outputs. The sensing element is manufactured using a dedicated micromachining process developed by ST to produce inertial sensors and actuators on silicon wafers. Table 1.
