Ceramic Gyro
Outline
Ceramic Gyro is a miniature angular rate sensor having
a very simple construction that is made up of a single
piezoelectric ceramic column printed with electrodes.
Features
• Miniature size
• High-speed response
• Magnetic field proof
• SMD applicable to lead-free reflow soldering (CG-L53)
Applications
• Image stabilizing system on camcorder, camera
and binocular
• Stability control of radio-controlled helicopter
• Input equipment (mouse etc.)

Sensitivity
* Two ceramic gyro models in two specifications each
(CG-L43A0/A1 and CG-L53A0/A1) are provided so
that noise interference can be avoided. When two
gyro rate sensors are to be used within a short distance,
it is recommended to combine each specification.

1) Since a residual carrier noise (24 to 28 Hz) may be included in the output voltage (between
Vref and Vout), it is necessary to connect a low pass filter for higher harmonic component
elimination.
2) A high pass filter is generally connected for eliminating the influence of output voltage fluc-
tuation (by temperature, etc.) in stationary state.
3) It is recommended to ground the Vref terminal with a capacitance of 4.7µF to stabilize the
Vref output.
Before Using Ceramic Gyro
• When transporting or handling a sensor, be careful not to drop it or subject it to any other physical shock.
Failure to do so may lead to internal damage or deterioration of its characteristics.
• Avoid applying mounting voltages higher than the rating to the sensors pins. This will lead to overheating
or damage to the sensors.
• As sensors are not water resistant, cleaning should be avoided.
• When handling sensors, anti-electrostatic precautions must be taken.
