General Description
The MLX90609 Angular Rate Sensor is a full gyroscopic system. A single SMD package contains a high performance silicon micro machined sensor with signal conditioning circuitry. It operates from 5V supply and is designed for demanding automotive applications.
The MLX90609 delivers two output signals proportional to the angular rate perpendicular to the assembly surface. One of the output signals is in an analog voltage format (the output is 2.5V at zero angular rate and the full scale angular rate produces an output of 4.5V or 0.5V depending on direction of rotation) and the other one is in digital SPI format.
