MEMS iSensor delivers 0.1° roll/pitch accuracy
1 min read
Analog Devices' new MEMS iSensor digital inclinometer system is designed to provide precise measurements for both pitch and roll angles over a full orientation range of ±180°.
The ADIS16210 integrates ADI's iMEMS multi axis accelerometer technology and signal processing expertise, which the company says adds addressable user registers for application tuning and programming, available over an SPI-compatible serial interface. The precision core sensors are tuned to allow accurate roll/pitch outputs independent of the orientation of the mounted sensor.
According to ADI, the device eliminates complex and time consuming user calibration with unit specific factory calibration, delivering 0.1° tilt accuracy. The ADIS16210 is optimised for instruments such as medical scanners that require accurate platform stabilisation, security and safety monitors and high precision platform positioning/steering.
The digital inclinometer system offers digital accelerometer and temperature sensor measurements, together with configuration controls for in-system calibration, sample rate, filtering, alarms, I/O configuration and power management. The ADIS16210 is available in a 15 x 24 x 15mm module that is designed to provide mounting tabs with M2 sized mounting holes and a flexible, edge terminated connector interface. It has an extended operating temperature range of -40 to 125°C.
