GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADXRS623 is a complete angular rate sensor (gyroscope)
that uses the Analog Devices, Inc., surface-micromachining
process to create a functionally complete and low cost angular
rate sensor integrated with all required electronics on one chip.
The manufacturing technique for this device is the same high
volume BiMOS process used for high reliability automotive
airbag accelerometers.
The output signal, RATEOUT (1B, 2A), is a voltage proportional
to the angular rate about the axis that is normal to the top surface
of the package. The output is ratiometric with respect to a pro-
vided reference supply. An external capacitor sets the bandwidth.
Other external capacitors are required for operation.
A temperature output is provided for compensation techniques.
Two digital self-test inputs electromechanically excite the sensor to
test proper operation of both the sensor and the signal conditioning
circuits. The ADXRS623 is available in a 7 mm × 7 mm × 3 mm
ceramic ball grid array (CBGA) package.

RATE-SENSITIVE AXIS
The ADXRS623 is a Z-axis, rate-sensing device (also called a
yaw rate-sensing device). It produces a positive-going output
voltage for clockwise rotation about the axis normal to the
package top, that is, clockwise when looking down at the
package lid.

Stresses above those listed under the Absolute Maximum
Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a
stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or
any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
Drops onto hard surfaces can cause shocks of >2000
g
and can
exceed the absolute maximum rating of the device. Exercise
care during handling to avoid damage.
