Innovative Solutions in MEMS Technology: Tronics Microsystems and UST collaboration
Tronics Microsystems, a prominent innovator in the realm of high-precision digital MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes, has joined forces with Unmanned Systems Technology (UST) to showcase their advanced capabilities. Their ‘Silver’ profile emphasizes the suitability of their sensors for integration into Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) tailored for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (ugvs) that operate in complex and dynamic settings.
AXO315: A Cutting-Edge MEMS Accelerometer
The AXO315 represents a state-of-the-art digital MEMS accelerometer, engineered to serve as a high-performance choice to customary analog force-rebalance quartz and mechanical servo accelerometers, all while being more efficient in terms of size, weight, and power (swap). With exceptionally low noise levels and outstanding linearity, the AXO315 excels in delivering superior composite bias repeatability and scale factor consistency, even under extreme temperature fluctuations and vibrations.
Encased in a hermetically-sealed surface-mount device (SMD) ceramic package, this compact accelerometer features a 24-bit SPI interface, facilitating seamless integration and minimizing component counts in printed circuit board (PCB) designs. The system is built with fully hard-coded electronics, eliminating the need for embedded software, and includes integrated temperature compensation and self-testing capabilities.
Complementary GYPRO Gyroscopes
The digital accelerometer is designed to work in harmony with the GYPRO series of high-performance digital MEMS gyroscopes, which provide precise angular rate measurements characterized by ultra-low noise, minimal latency, and high linearity. These sensors serve as a digital SMD alternative to costly and bulky Fiber Optic Gyroscopes (FOG), Dynamically Tuned Gyroscopes (DTG), or quartz gyros, offering remarkable bias stability and scale factor repeatability, along with low angular random walk.
Weighing a mere 2 grams, the compact gyroscopes are also housed in a hermetically-sealed SMT package and utilize a 24-bit SPI interface for straightforward integration, resulting in reduced material costs compared to analog alternatives. Like the AXO315,the GYPRO gyros are constructed with fully hard-coded electronics and lack embedded software,featuring built-in temperature compensation and self-test functionalities.
Factory-calibrated and temperature-compensated, GYPRO gyroscopes deliver high-accuracy digital outputs across a wide temperature spectrum.An integrated temperature sensor allows for on-chip or external compensation, ensuring reliable performance in various conditions.
