Question
What is the offset drift on the ADXRS290? When should I be worried about offset drift for my application?
Answer
Offset drift is an important parameter for gyroscopes, especially where they are used in active feedback in stabilization applications. Theapplication greatly influences the choice of a sensor. The ADXRS290 exhibits superior drift performance in applications where the gyroscope outputimmediately post-startup is not relevant. The drift settles down in few minutes post power up. For applications that require lower start-up time, thedetails of the application need to be known to determine if the drift in ADXRS290 can be accommodated. The drift performance of the gyroscope is notincluded in the datasheet. Characterization data can be made available to key customers.
