The devices are also ideal for the growing market for virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices.
The IMUs deliver six-degree-of-freedom sensing using triple-axis MEMS-based gyroscopes and accelerometers, with a combination of ultra-low noise, ultra-low drift, and industry leading vibration rejection, allowing devices to accurately characterize motion even when disturbed by wind, vibration, temperature or turbulence.
Measuring 11mm × 15m × 11m, the IMUs are tested and factory calibrated for bias, alignment, sensitivity and linear acceleration to ensure each sensor can provide accurate measurements via dynamic compensation formulas.
The ADIS16470 variant offers a gyroscope dynamic range of ±2000 degrees per second (dps), and the ADIS16475 and ADIS16477 variants are available in dynamic ranges of ±125, ±500, or ±2000dps.
Support comes in the shape of a robust selection of evaluation tools consisting of the EVAL-ADIS2Z evaluation board and ADIS1647x/PCBZ breakout boards.
Designers can plug a breakout board into the 16-pin connector on the evaluation board to develop a prototype using the corresponding IMU.
