10-DOF MEMS IMU MAKES TACTICAL GRADE PERFORMANCE ACCESSIBLE, AFFORDABLE, AND MORE ROBUST IN SEVERE ENVIRONMENTS
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) released for general availability today the third generation iSensor® MEMS IMU (inertial measurement unit). The ADIS16488 is a tactical grade 10-degree-of-freedom (DoF) sensor and integrates a tri-axis gyroscope, tri-axis accelerometer, tri-axis magnetometer and a pressure sensor into a single package. This new MEMS IMU provides the most stable and complete integrated sensor suite available, supporting mission critical requirements in high-performance navigation and stabilization applications. Beyond the important tactical grade (below 10°/hr) bias stability, the ADIS16488 outperforms all other contemporary gyro/IMU offerings on the often more critical specifications of g-effect, temperature coefficient, and bandwidth by up to 100X.
