Q:
How do I mount the ADIS16445AMLZ to the EVAL-ADIS, without putting pressure on its substrate?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:
The present instructions for mounting the ADIS16445AMLZ or ADIS16448AMLZ to the EVAL-ADIS do not meet the suggestions in the ADIS1644x Mounting Tips for Optimal Bias FAQ. The consequence of this is that the ADIS1644x products will be under a stress profile that will not support best temperature-dependent or repeatability behaviors for the gyroscope bias. We are working on a new accessory kit that will address this in a few months, but we also wanted to offer some short-term ideas for addressing this concern. Please keep in mind, the purpose of these ideas is to help those who are prototyping a short-term solution, not offer a way to design an entire system around the EVAL-ADIS.
We have produced a limited number of the ADIS16334 brackets and can make them available upon request, while supplies last. Since we do not have a large number of these brackets, we would ask that you only request them if you are ready to take action on your evaluation at this time. For those who are ready to implement these steps and would like us to send you a bracket, please "Like" this post and make sure that your email is correct in your Engineer Zone profile. I will reach out to you through email and make arrangements to ship a bracket (while supplies last). I hope that this helps!
Best,
