Gyro Breakout Board - LISY300AL 300°/s

sku: SEN-08955

Description: This is the breakout board for the low power single axis gyro from ST Microelectronics with a 300 degree per second maximum range. A low-pass filter is integrated into the board along with a power down feature. The LISY300AL outputs an analog voltage in proportion to the angular rate.

Features:

2.7 to 3.6VDC supply
+/-300 degree/ second output
Embedded power-down feature
Analog rate out
Integrated low pass filter
Embedded self test
High shock survivability

Dimensions: PCB 0.8" x 0.8"

I sure hope the scale on those pictures is wrong. 2" square seems pretty big. ;D

Good point. The datasheet for the gyro itself says its 7x7x1.5 mm, and that pretty well matches the scale in the picture on its page. In this picture it looks like its 20 mm. The breakout board must be only about 17 mm / 2/3".

Yep, the ruler in the picture is way off. The correct dimensions are 0.8" by 0.8". We'll get that fixed. Thanks for letting us know!

Um, how can a board that is clearly rectangular have square dimensions? Has the board changed since the pictures were taken? By printing the image, measuring with calipers, and scaling to the dimensions of the LISY300AL, I get 0.50" x 0.65" (12.7 mm x 16.5 mm).

Just curious... why didn't you include the power supply decoupling caps recommended on page 9 of the datasheet?

Both the recommended 10uF and 0.1uF caps are on the board. Re-check the schematic. They're just placed a bit off to the side.

Got it. Thanks. I must have zoomed in on the main chip and never looked at the whole thing again. Noob mistake, sorry.

What is the difference between this Gyro and, say, ADXRS610 you sell too? Both measure +/- 300 °/s. This one is powered with 3.3V and ADXRS610 uses 5V. This is the only direct Difference I see, yet ADXRS610 is twice the price of LISY300AL! What explains that? Thank you.
