MEMS Gyro principle

The GyroSmart™ is built around a digital MEMS


Gyro. The gyro consists of a sensor chip and a
mixed-signal ASIC (Application Specific Integrated
Circuit) assembled in a non-magnetic package.
These two components work together to yield
unparalleled flexibility; world-class digital micro-
gyro performance in a standard LCC28 footprint,
which results in its small size, makes it rugged,
shock tolerant and cost effective.

The main part of the MEMS sensor chip, consists When the gyro is rotating, thanks to the Coriolis
of two wings interconnected to a solid frame by a effect, the two wings will begin to vibrate out of
set of elastic beams. Using a set of electrodes the plane and they will do so in anti-phase. The
underneath, the wings are forced to vibrate in amplitude of the out-of-plane vibration is directly
anti-phase motion in the plane of the frame. The proportional to the applied rate. A second set of
ASIC is used to keep active control of this electrodes underneath the wings is used to
vibration. measure this amplitude and the ASIC transforms it
into a digital output rate signal.

Gyro specific advantages:


• Wide operating range
• Measurement in all directions (full 3D)
• High shock tolerance
• Low operating drift
