Analog Devices: ADIS16266/PCBZ Evaluation Board for the ADIS16266 Digital Gyroscope Sensor

Kit Overview

The ADIS16266/PCBZADIS16266/PCBZ is a breakout board which includes one ADIS16266BCCZADIS16266BCCZ IC on a 1.2 inch × 1.3 inch PCB that simplifies the process of prototyping during the early stages of system design and evaluation. The interface PCB simplifies the IC connection of these devices to an existing processor system. The four mounting holes accommodate either M2 (2 mm) or 2-56 machine screws. These boards are made of IS410 material and are 0.063 inches thick. The second level assembly uses a SAC305-compatible solder composition, which has a presolder reflow thickness of approximately 0.005 inches.

The ADIS16266BCCZADIS16266BCCZ is a fully-calibrated, digital MEMS gyroscope, which provides a serial peripheral interface (SPI) for all digital communications. It is in a 20-lead, LGA package that minimizes board space but does not support typical prototype soldering processes. The interface PCB provides access to the ADIS16266BCCZ, using a dual-row, 16-pin connector, which supports standard ribbon cable systems and hand-soldering connection techniques. This interface is also compatible with the EVAL-ADIS evaluation system.

The ADIS16266ADIS16266 is a programmable digital gyroscope that combines industry-leading MEMS and signal processing technology in a single compact package. It provides accuracy performance that requires full motion calibration with any other MEMS gyroscope in this class. When power is applied, the ADIS16266 automatically starts up and begins sampling sensor data, without requiring configuration commands from a system processor. An addressable register structure and a common serial peripheral interface (SPI) provide simple access to sensor data and configuration settings. Many digital processor platforms support the SPI with simple firmware level instructions.

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