Murata Electronics SCH16T-K10 6-DOF Gyroscope and Accelerometer

Murata Electronics SCH16T-K10 6-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) gyroscope and accelerometer is a combined high-performance 3-axis angular rate and 3-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU). The gyroscope measurement range is selectable in-application from ±2000°/s down to ±1000°/s, while the accelerometer measurement is selectable from ±160m/s2 down to ±15m/s2. Features include a SafeSPI v2.0 interface, 20-bit and 16-bit output data, extensive self-diagnostics, and an SOIC-24 package with 11.8mm x 13.4mm x 2.9mm dimensions. The angular rate and accelerometer sensor elements are based on 3D-MEMS technology, and the signal processing is operated by a signal mixed-signal ASIC. The SCH16T-K10 IMU is designed, manufactured, and tested for high stability, quality, and reliability.

Features

  • Gyroscope measurement range selectable in-application from ±2000°/s to ±1000°/s with typical recommended dynamic range up to ±2600°/s
  • Accelerometer measurement range selectable in-application from ±160m/s2 to ±15m/s2 with default dynamic range of ±260m/s2
  • Options for output interpolation and decimation
  • Angular rate and acceleration low-pass filters from 13Hz to 370Hz cut-off rate
  • Data-ready output, timestamp index, and sync input functions for clock domain synchronization
