2-axis Gyroscope for Motion Applications

The IXZ™ family of dual-axis MEMS gyroscopes feature the world’s first roll/yaw (X and Z-axis) MEMS gyros that meet the in-plane mounting requirements of remote controls and interactive game controllers for digital TVs, IPTVs, set top boxes, media centers and PCs. Traditionally, designers of remote controls have had to use two single Z-axis or one dual-axis X/Y gyroscope, which because of their axes of sensitivity, required a daughter card for mounting the angular rate sensors perpendicular to the rest of the system electronics. The in-plane mounting of the IXZ family overcomes this limitation, enabling compelling form-factor designs.

• Integrated X- and Z-axis gyros on a single chip with in-plane mounting
• Two separate outputs per axis for higher speed motions and lower-speed precise movements:
• 500°/s full scale range (higher speed)
• 110°/s full scale range (high precision)
• Integrated amplifiers and low-pass filters
• Auto Zero function for bias calibration
• On-chip temperature sensor
• High vibration rejection over a wide frequency range
• High cross-axis isolation by proprietary MEMS design
• 3V single supply operation
• Hermetically sealed for temp and humidity resistance
• 10,000 g shock tolerant
• Smallest dual axis gyro package at 4mm x 5mm x 1.2mm
• RoHS and Green Compliant
