MEMS Quartz Angular Rate Sensor Ideal for Industrial and Marine Applications • • • • • • Vehicle Instrumentation Robotics Flight Testing Guidance & Control Systems Short Term Navigation Ride Control - Stabilization Proven MEMS Technology DC Voltage Output Wide Bandwidth Analog Voltage Output Low Power Consumption High Reliability Wide Operating Temperature Range Small Size Fast Start-Up DC in DC out Temperature Sensor Output The LCG50 (Low Cost Gyro 50) offers a MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) single axis angular rate sensor on a small PC board. The sensor is a complete unit and requires only a single DC voltage input to measure angular rate. The LCG50 is ideally suited for embedded applications, where mounting versatility is required, unit price is low, robustness is essential, and the performance characteristics must match that of much more expensive instrument grade rate sensors.
