The device includes a sensing element composed of a single driving mass, kept in continuous oscillation and capable of reacting, based on the Coriolis principle, when an angular rate is applied. A CMOS IC provides the measured angular rate to the external world through an analog output voltage, allowing high levels of integration and production trimming to better match sensing element characteristics. ST's family of gyroscopes leverages on the mature and robust manufacturing process already used for the production of micro-machined accelerometers. Applications Gaming applications Pointing devices, remote and game controllers Motion tracking with user interface Industial and robotics Description The LPR4150AL is a low-power dual-axis micromachined gyroscope capable of measuring angular rate along pitch and roll axes.

Sensitivity describes the gain of the sensor and can be determined by applying a defined angular velocity to it. This value changes very little over temperature and time. 4.2 Zero-rate level Zero-rate level describes the actual output signal if there is no angular rate present. The zero-rate level of precise MEMS sensors is, to some extent, a result of stress to the sensor and therefore zero-rate level can slightly change after mounting the sensor onto a printed circuit board or after exposing it to extensive mechanical stress. This value changes very little over temperature and time. 4.3 Self-test Self-test allows testing of the mechanical and electrical part of the sensor, allowing the seismic mass to be moved by means of an electrostatic test-force. The self-test function is off when the ST pin is connected to GND. When the ST pin is tied to Vdd, an actuation force is applied to the sensor, emulating a definite Coriolis force. In this case the sensor output exhibits a voltage change in its DC level which is also dependent on the supply voltage. When ST is active, the device output level is given by the algebraic sum of the signals produced by the velocity acting on the sensor and by the electrostatic test-force. If the output signals change within the amplitude specified in Table 3, then the mechanical element is working properly and the parameters of the interface chip are within the defined specifications. 4.4 High pass filter reset (HP) The LPR4150AL provides the possibility to reset the optional external high-pass filter by applying a high logic value to the HP pad. This procedure ensures faster response, especially during overload conditions. Moreover, this operation is recommended each time the device is powered. 4.5 Sleep mode, self test and power down The LPR4150AL enables advanced power-saving features thanks to the availability of three different operating modes. When the device is set in a Sleep mode configuration, the reading chain is completely turned off, resulting in low power consumption. In this condition the device turn-on time is significantly reduced, allowing simple external power cycling. In accordance with the table below, the user can select the desired operating mode using two dedicated pins (ST and SLEEP/PD). 8/14 Doc ID 16576 Rev 1 LPR4150AL Terminology Table 6.

The LPR4150AL allows band limiting of the output rate response through the use of an external low-pass filter (recommended) in addition to the embedded low-pass filter (ft = 140 Hz). 4xOUTX and 4xOUTY are, respectively, OUTX and OUTY amplified output lines, internally buffered to ensure low output impedance. If external low-pass filtering is not applied, it is mandatory to short-circuit pin 1 to pin 5 and pin 16 to pin 20, respectively, when amplified outputs are used. When only a non-amplified output is used (OUTX/OUTZ), it is recommended to set pin 5 and 16 to a fixed reference voltage (Vref). The LPR4150AL IC includes a PLL (phase-locked loop) circuit to synchronize driving and sensing interfaces. Capacitors and resistors must be added at the FILTVDD and VCONT pins (as shown in Figure 3) to implement a low-pass filter. 10/14 Doc ID 16576 Rev 1 LPR4150AL 5.1 Application hints Output response vs. rotation Figure 4.
