Description
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.
