STMicroelectronics Unveils 3-Axis MEMS Gyroscope for 360-degree sensor

Want more motion funs on your mobile devices? STMicroelectronics is releasing its 3-Axis MEMS Gyroscope, providing 360-degree angular-rate detection for 3D gesture and motion recognition in mobile phones, game controllers, personal navigation systems and other portable devices.

The innovative gyroscope provides two separate outputs for each of the three axes at the same time: a 400dps full-scale value for high accuracy of slow motion and a 1,600dps full-scale value to detect and measure very fast gestures and movements.

Samples of ST’s LYPR540AH 3-axis gyroscope, in a 4.4 x 7.5 x 1.1mm package, are available now, with volume production scheduled for Q1 2010.
