Description

The LISY300AL 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. 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 LISY300AL has a full scale of ±300 °/s and is capable of measuring rates with a -3 dB bandwidth up to 88 Hz. The LISY300AL is available in a plastic land grid array (LGA) package and can operate within a temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C. The LISY300AL 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 LGA-28 (7x7x1.5mm) Table 1.

2.4 Terminology

2.4.1 Sensitivity

A yaw rate gyroscope is a Z-axis rate device that produces a positive-going output voltage for counterclockwise rotation around the axis normal to the package top. Sensitivity describes the gain of the sensor and can be determined by applying a defined angular velocity to it. This value changes very little over temperature and also very little over time.

2.4.2 Zero-rate level

Zero-rate level describes the actual output signal if there is no angular rate present. For a 3.3 V powered sensor the absolute zero-rate output is ideally 1.65 V. Zero-rate level of precise MEMS sensors is, to some extent, a result of stress to the sensor and therefore zero-rate level can slightly change after mounting the sensor onto a printed circuit board or after exposing it to extensive mechanical stress. This value changes very little over temperature and also very little over time.

2.4.3 Self-test

Self-test allows to test the mechanical and electric part of the sensor, allowing the seismic mass to be moved by means of an electrostatic test-force. The Self-test function is off when the ST pin is connected to GND. When the ST pin is tied to Vdd, an actuation force is applied to the sensor, emulating a definite Coriolis force. In this case the sensor output will exhibit a voltage change in its DC level which is also depending on the supply voltage. When ST is active, the device output level is given by the algebraic sum of the signals produced by the velocity acting on the sensor and by the electrostatic test-force. If the output signals change within the amplitude specified in Table 3, then the mechanical element is working properly and the parameters of the interface chip are within the defined specification.
