VTI Launches New Gyro-Accelerometer Combo Sensor for High Performance Industrial Applications

2009-11-11 17:08:07 -

VTI Technologies (VTI), a global leader in low g MEMS sensors, has released a new family of gyro-accelerometer combo sensors for high performance industrial applications.

Combining its market leading 3-axis accelerometer with a near tactical grade 1-axis gyro in the same robust package, VTI provides a higher level of performance in a smaller form factor. Target applications include Inertial Measurement Units

(IMUs), platform control and stabilisation, motion analysis and control, as well as guidance- and navigation systems.

The new sensor product family is based on VTI's proprietary 3D-MEMS-manufacturing (micro-electro-mechanical-system) technology which enables VTI to produce extremely robust, stable and low noise sensors.

The first members of the gyro-combo product family are SCC1300-D02 (±100 º/s x-axis & ±2 g 3axis) and SCC1300-D04 (±300 º/s x-axis & ±6 g 3-axis). Stand alone gyro components will follow in 2010.

All angular rate sensors feature outstanding insensitivity to shocks and vibrations. The sensors are temperature compensated over whole operating range of -40°C to +125°C. Bias stability (Allan variance) for the gyroscope is below 2 °/h and bias accuracy over full temperature range <±0.6 º/s. The combo versions feature two separate digital SPI-interfaces (one for gyro, one for accelerometer).

Dimensions for the lead frame based package are 18.65 mm x 8.5 mm x 4.53 mm (length x width x height)


Samples of the SCC1300-D02 and D04 are available immediately with volume production in 1H 2010. Pricing for 1000pcs volumes is 48€/pcs.
