Three-axis digital-output gyroscope comes in 4x4x1mm
With a resonant frequency above the audio bandwidth, ST’s newest 3-axis digital gyroscope operates with greater accuracy and reliability, because it is completely immune to both mechanical vibrations coupled through the printed circuit board and to audio noise, such as from speakers mounted close to the sensor. The L3GD20 gyroscope offers a wide set of user-programmable full-scale ranges from ±250 dps up to ±2000 dps, with the low full-scale values for high accuracy of slow-motion sensing and the high range to detect and measure very fast gestures and movements. The device provides a 16-bit data output, together with additional embedded digital features, such as configurable low- and high-pass filters. The device includes power-down and sleep modes and an embedded FIFO memory block for smarter power management. It can operate with any supply voltage over the range of 2.4 to 3.6V.
