ADIS16364: The purpose of temperature Sensor

Q 

For ADIS16364, it is Factory Temperature Calibrated,  so what purpose is the
temperature Sensor?

 

A 

The ADIS16364 is calibrated from -20 to +70C.  The temperature sensor can
provide a rough measurement of temperature for other purposes in a system.  Not
intended for super accurate requirements but it may be useful.  It was already
available, so we decided to make it available to the user in a register.

  • The primary function for the TEMP_OUT function is to provide the internal calibration processing with real-time observation of the temperature, inside of the IMU, not the ambient temperature outside of the IMU. Attachment methods, air flow, proximity to other heat sources make that very difficult to accomplish on a general, open-market product, such as the ADIS16364, so this value has not calibration.
