THREE-AXIS GYROSCOPE IN A SINGLE PACKAGE

摘要

A pretty nifty gadget recently introduced by STMicroelectronics is the LYPR540AH three-axis analog gyroscope which - in a single package -measures angular rates along three orthogonal axes. The sensor offers 360° detection for high precision 3D gesture and motion recognition in mobile phones, game controllers, personal navigation systems, and other portable devices. If you combine it with a three-axis accelerometer (and ST claims to have sold more than 600 million of them), the device enables the creation of inertial measurement units (devices that track and deliver information on the type, rate, and direction of motion).
