How to calculate the measurement accuracy of ADXRS290 and ADXRS450?

Thread Summary

The user asked how to calculate the measurement error for a gyroscope when only the sensitivity of LSB/°/sec is given. The engineer provided a formula to estimate the angle rate error, considering sensor output, sensitivity, offset, integration time, and noise, while noting that non-linearity and cross-axis sensitivity are typically negligible. Calibration can compensate for sensitivity offset, cross-axis sensitivity, and temperature dependency, but noise and nonlinearity cannot be compensated.

In datesheet,only Sensitivity of LSB/°/sec is given.(200 for 290 and 80 for 450)

Can you give an example of calculating the measurement error by measuring a certain value, such as 10°/sec?

Thanks a lot.

  • Hi, 

    The datasheet also specifies the offset error, sensitivity tolerance and change with temperature, noise, non-linearity and cross axis sensitivity as sources of error. 

    All these parameters add to the angle rate estimation error: 

    Non-linearity and cross axis sensitivity in most applications can be ignored because their contribution to error are small. In this case: 

    angle rate = sensor output[LSB]/(sensitivity[LSB/deg/s]+/- sensitivity tolerance) + offset[deg/s] * integration time[s] + noise

    sensitivity offset, cross axis sensitivity and sensitivity temperature dependency can be compensated by calibration.

    noise and nonlinearity cannot be compensated. 

    I hope this helps, 

    Pablo.
