Analog Devices: ADIS16445/PCBZ Evaluation Board for ADIS16445 Inertial Sensor

Kit Overview

The ADIS16445/PCBZADIS16445/PCBZ is a breakout board which provides ADIS16445AMLZADIS16445AMLZ, flexible cable and interface PCB to simplify the process of developing a prototype connection with an existing embedded processor system. It is required for connecting the ADIS16445AMLZ directly to the EVAL-ADIS evaluation system as well. The ADIS16445AMLZ is a fully-calibrated, MEMS IMU, which provides a serial peripheral interface (SPI) for all digital communications. It provides a dual-row, 24-pin connector interface that minimizes board space but does not support standard ribbon cable connections.

The flexible cable and interface PCB provides access to the ADIS16445AMLZADIS16445AMLZ, using dual-row, 12-pin connectors, which supports standard ribbon cable systems and hand-soldering connection techniques. The flexible cable mates the ADIS16445AMLZ to any system that is currently using the ADIS1636x, ADIS16375ADIS16375, ADIS16385ADIS16385, ADIS1640x, or ADIS1648x IMU products, which use a 24-pin interface, rather than the 20-pin interface that the ADIS16445 uses. This combination of components enables quicker install-ation for prototype evaluation and algorithm development.

The ADIS16445ADIS16445 iSensor device is a complete inertial system that includes a triaxial gyroscope and a triaxial accelerometer. Each sensor in the ADIS16445 combines industry-leading iMEMS technology with signal conditioning that optimizes dynamic performance. The factory calibration characterizes each sensor for sensitivity, bias, alignment, and linear accel-eration (gyroscope bias). As a result, each sensor has its own dynamic compensation formulas that provide accurate sensor measurements.

Key Applications: Platform stabilization and control, Navigation, Robotics.
