Integrated Dual-Axis Gyroscope
 |
The IDG-600 gyroscope is the world’s first integrated dual-axis angular rate sensor designed for high performance game controllers and remote controls requiring large dynamic motion sensing, high impact shock resistance, small size and low cost. It uses InvenSense’s proprietary and patented MEMS technology with vertically driven, vibrating masses to make a functionally complete, low-cost, dual-axis angular rate sensor. All required electronics are integrated onto a single chip with the sensor.
The IDG-600 gyro uses two sensor elements with novel vibrating dual-mass bulk silicon configurations that sense the rate of rotation about the X- and Y-axis (in-plane sensing). This results in a unique, integrated dual-axis gyro with guaranteed-by-design vibration rejection and high cross-axis isolation.
The IDG-600 gyro includes integrated electronics necessary for application-ready
functionality.
Factory trimmed scale factors eliminate the need for external active
components and end-user calibration.
This product is lead-free and Green Compliant.
