LY530/LY530AL pdf datasheet

The LY530AL is a low-power single-axis yaw rate
sensor. It includes a sensing element and an IC
interface able to provide the measured angular
rate to the external world through an analog
output voltage and I2C/SPI digital interfaces.
The sensing element, capable of detecting the
yaw rate, is manufactured using a dedicated
micromachining process developed by ST to
produce inertial sensors and actuators on silicon
wafers.
The IC interface is manufactured using a CMOS
process that allows a high level of integration to
design a dedicated circuit which is trimmed to
better match the sensing element characteristics.
The output of LY530AL has a full scale of ±300 °/s
and is capable of measuring rates with a -3 dB
bandwidth up to 88 Hz.
The LY530AL is available in a plastic land grid
array (LGA) package and can operate within a
temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.
The LY530AL belongs to a family of products
suitable for a variety of applications, including:
– Gaming and virtual reality input devices
– Motion control with MMI (man-machine
interface)
– Image stabilization for digital video and
digital still cameras
– GPS navigation systems
– Appliances and robotics
