DATASHEET SAR10 GYRO SENSOR SERIES SAR10, SAR10H SAR10 Series Angular Rate Sensor The SAR10 and SAR10H contains a ButterflyGyro MEMS die and a BiCMOS mixed mode ASIC, housed in a custom SOIC package that can be efficiently handled by automated production lines. The sensor is factory calibrated and compensated for temperature effects to provide high-accuracy digital output over a broad temperature range. SAR10 has 250 /s range and SAR10H has 100 /s range. Tuning of the excitation and detection frequency as well as perfect mechanical and electrical balancing the dual masses result in very low sensitivity to shock and vibrations. By utilizing a unique sealed cavity technology, the vibrating masses are contained within the low-pressure hermetic environment needed for creating low dynamic damping and high Q factors, without any degradation over the lifetime of the device whatever tough environmental conditions. A SPI interface enables an easy and effective communication between the application and the SAR10 or SAR10H. The angular rate data output is a 10-bit 2s complement format at a maximum rate of 2000 samples per second. A number of functions are available through the digital SPI interface including advanced self diagnostics.
