High Spec Automotive Gyroscope

Hi Greg,

Yes, it is one of the gyros used by automotive customers for roll-over detection and yaw rate sensing for electronic stability control.  We also have the ADXRS642, ADXRS652 and digital output ADXRS800.

Hi Venkat

Sorry for the slow reply, I was caught up with winter examinations. Thanks for your reply, the information was very useful. I also need to evaluate lateral acceleration sensors; I am aware that there are a number of these available from Analog Devices. Are there specific lateral acceleration sensors that are generally associated with the ADXRS800 (i.e. do Analog Devices supply a combined yaw and lateral sensor).

Hi NavadaMark

Thanks for your reply.

It appears neither of those are designed for automotive stability control. I am looking for a combined sensor suitable for automotive stability control. Do you have any further suggestions

Regards

Hi Nevada Mark

I am only learning about this technology myself (I am completing a thesis on stability control, see earlier posts) so I cannot be specific for you. I know the sensor needs a wide operating temperature range, and a low G Sensitivity; in general I used to search for sensors designed for stability control.

I have found combination sensors from other manufacturers which are designed for automotive stability control, however I am not very familiar with navigating through the AD website, and hence I am struggling a bit.

Hi Greg,

I understand where you are coming from but there is typically a lot more to the selection process than a generic application statement.  Look forward to more discussion in private.

Best,

Mark
