Description: Replacement: None. We’re not carrying this device anymore but check out the rest of our gyro category! This page is for reference only.
This is a low-power dual axis (pitch and yaw) gyro with a 1500°/s maximum range. Options include integrated low pass filters and embedded power down and self-test features. Both x and z outputs are analog, and a 4x amplified output signal is also available for both axes. Comes in an LGA-16 package.
Features:
- 2.7 to 3.6VDC supply
- Dual axis pitch and yaw sensing
- 1500°/s output
- Low power consumption
- Wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C)
- High stability overtemperature
- Embedded power-down feature
- Analog angular-rate outputs
- 4x amplified analog outputs
- Integrated low pass filters
- Embedded self test
- High shock survivability

hello all..
Iam using LPY5150AL Breakout gyro. I have connected to a PIC16F877A microcontroller.The problem is that iam getting outputs of gyro around 1100 -1300 deg/sec when i rotate the axes.I donot know whether these values are correct are not??can anyone help me out..!
The formula used is:
X_deg=((V_out-V_reference)*5000/1024)/(sensitivity)
where v_ref=1.23 as suggested in datasheet.
THANKS ALOT..!
