IMU280ZA
Power Sensing Solutions for a Better Life
INERTIAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
The MEMSIC IMU280ZA is a low cost miniature fully-
calibrated inertial measurement system designed for
demanding embedded applications that require a
complete dynamic measurement solution in a robust
low-profile package. The IMU280ZA provides a
standard SPI bus for cost-effective board-to-board
communications.
