Q:
I just noticed that the ADIS16300 is not recommended for new designs. What can I use in its place?
A:
The ADIS16300 provide a 4DOF (degrees of freedom) function, which has 1-axis of gyroscope sensing and 3-axes of accelerometer sensing. Since there are no other 4DOF functions in this product family, a 6DOF product (3-axis gyro/3-axis accelerometer) would be the most applicable function to look for. Here are two options to consider:
- The ADIS16365 provides the same performance and function as the ADIS16300, but would present some size and cost trade-offs.
- The ADIS16460 is closer to the ADIS16300, in terms of size and cost, but its gyroscopes have lower dynamic range (+100deg/sec).
- The ADIS16445 and ADIS16448 are also worth consideration as well.
