Question
The ADXRS290 datasheet mentions that the output full scale range is ±100°/s. Will the part get damaged if it encounters a larger rotation rate?
Answer
The measurement range in the datasheet indicates the range over which the gyroscope will accurately report the angular rate. Angular rotation ratesoutside of this range will cause the output to saturate at full scale, but will not cause harm to the gyroscope as long as it is within the limitsspecified by the Absolute Maximum Ratings in the datasheet
