Description
The LY530ALH is a low-power single-axis micromachined gyroscope capable of measuring angular rate along yaw axis.
It provides excellent temperature stability and high resolution over an extended operating temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C). The LY530ALH has a full scale of ±300 °/s and is capable of detecting rates with a -3 dB bandwidth up to 140 Hz.
The gyroscope is the combination of one actuator and one accelerometer integrated in a single micromachined structure.
It includes a sensing element composed by single driving mass, kept in continuos oscillating movement and able to react when an angular rate is applied based on the Coriolis principle.
A CMOS IC provides the measured angular rate to the external world through an analog output voltage, allowing high level of integration and production trimming to better match sensing element characteristics.
