Three new gyroscopes from Analog Devices, Inc. provide new design options. Using differential quad-sensor technology to reject the influence of linear acceleration and vibration, the MEMS gyros have exceptionally accurate and reliable rate sensing even in severe shock and vibration ambients.

Rated at ±250°/s, the ADXRS642 brings improved vibration and shock immunity performance to existing ADI iMEMS gyroscope applications.

The ADXRS646 gyro has a measurement range of ±250°/s with 1 kHz bandwidth and 8°/hr drift with low broadband noise.

The ADXRS649  offers the highest rate of rotation sensing available with ±20,000°/sec and fast 3 millisecond (ms) start-up time for quick power cycling.
