MAX21000
EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
Ultra-Accurate, Low Power,
3-Axis Digital Output Gyroscope
General Description
The MAX21000 is a low power, low noise, 3-axis angular
rate sensor that delivers unprecedented accuracy and
sensitivity over temperature and time. It operates with
a supply voltage as low as 1.71V for minimum power
consumption. It includes a sensing element and an IC
interface that provides the measured angular rate to the
external world through a digital interface (I2C/SPI).
The IC has a full scale of ±31.25/±62.50/±125/±250/
±500/±1k /±2k degrees per second (dps) and measures
rates with a finely tunable user-selectable bandwidth. The
high ODR and the large BW, the low noise at highest FS,
together with the low phase delay, make the IC suitable
for both user interface (UI) and optical image stabilization
(OIS) applications.
The IC is a highly integrated solution available in a com-
pact 3mm x 3mm x 0.9mm plastic land grid array (LGA)
package and does not require any external components
other than supply bypass capacitors. It can operate over
the -40ºC to +85ºC temperature range.
