STMicroelectronics MEMS Gyroscopes

STMicroelectronics MEMS Gyroscopes, with wide full-scale range (from 30 up to 6000dps), offers a complete portfolio of single, dual, and tri-axis gyroscopes with excellent performance in terms of accuracy and stability over time and temperature for consumer and industrial markets. By incorporating an accelerometer and actuator in a single micromachined structure, MEMS Gyroscopes leverage on robust and mature manufacturing processes already successfully used for the high-volume production of more than half a billion linear accelerometers. MEMS Gyroscopes feature an extended power supply range of 2.4 to 3.6 V. These STMicroelectronics MEMS Gyroscopes feature excellent stability over a wide temperature range and a wide range of full scales are available. The STMicroelectronics MEMS Gyroscopes also offer embedded self-test, embedded power down, sleep mode, and high shock survivability. Single and dual-axis gyroscope is available in yaw, pitch and yaw, and pitch and roll; the tri-axis gyroscope is available in yaw, pitch, and roll in a single package. Applications for STMicroelectronics MEMS Gyroscopes include GPS, gaming systems, image stabilization, and remote control devices.
