Product catalog summary
Applications: The document outlines the MMQ™A's suitability for high-precision applications such as heading and attitude applications, UAVs, drones, EO/IR stabilization, underwater remotely operated vehicles, general aviation, land navigation, robotics, and EFIS integration.
Key Performance Features: The MMQ™A is characterized by its extremely small size, low power consumption (<5W), and jitter-free output rate up to 400 Hz. It includes an RS-232 digital interface and is tested to meet TSO-C4c and TSO-C6d performance standards. The device is supplied with MMQA Demo Software to aid integration.
Technical Specifications: The MMQ™A combines the Systron Donner Inertial solid-state MMQ™50 IMU with advanced software to provide an AHRS solution. It uses MEMS quartz rate sensors and accelerometers, along with an external 3-axis magnetometer, to deliver accurate roll, pitch, and heading angles. The system outputs data with low jitter and includes sensor outputs, angle outputs, and system information.
Physical Characteristics: The device has a volume of 9.0 in³ and weighs less than 0.50 lbs. It operates on + & – 12Vdc at less than 5W total power.
Performance: Static accuracy for roll, pitch, and heading is less than 0.5 degrees. Dynamic accuracy is 1.5° RMS for roll/pitch and 3.0° RMS for heading. The rate channels have a range of ±200°/sec with various stability and error metrics provided. Acceleration channels have a range of ±10g with specified stability and error metrics.
Environmental Specifications: The operating temperature range is -54°C to +70°C. The device meets DO-160D standards for vibration, shock, and altitude, with specific metrics provided for each.

MMQA Inertial Measurement Unit-1

Miniature MEMS Quartz AHRS Ideal for High-Precision Civil & Military Applications: • • • • • • • • Heading & Attitude Applications UAVs,Targets & Drones EO/IR Stabilization Remotely Operated Vehicles (Underwater) General Aviation (Experimental) Land Navigation Robotics Electronic Flight Instrumentation System (EFIS) Integration Extremely Small Size AHRS Solution for many Dynamic Applications RS-232 Digital Interface Low Power Consumption (<5W) Configurable Output Rate Jitter-Free Output Rate (400 Hz Max) Tested to meet TSO-C4c Bank (Roll) & Pitch Angle Performance Tested to meet TSO-C6d Heading Angle Performance MMQA Demo Software Supplied to Facilitate Integration The MMQ™A offers a unique combination of the Systron Donner Inertial solid-state MMQ™50 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and advanced software that calculates an Attitude and Heading Reference (AHRS) solution from the gyro and accelerometer sensors, and an external 3-axis magnetometer. The MMQ™A's MEMS quartz rate sensors and MEMS accelerometers make up an IMU system that is used to calculate a highly accurate Roll, Pitch and Heading angle solution in varying dynamic applications. Roll and Pitch are stabilized by the accelerometers, and heading is stabilized by an external 3-Axis magnetometer. The user can configure the MMQ™A to output data at various sample rates with extremely low output rate jitter, and the data output format is simple to understand containing the 6 sensor outputs, the angle outputs, a Built-In-Test (BIT) word output and a multi-parameter revolving word output that provides system information including version string. The MMQ™A combines tremendous performance and versatility with an extremely compact size, low power consumption and low weight.
