Gyroscopes

Leveraging on proprietary MEMS technology and worldwide recognized success on acceleration sensors, ST introduces new high-performance MEMS gyroscope sensors.

Using proprietary robust MEMS technology, ST gyroscopes include miniaturized movable masses able to react in response to angular rotations. Driving and sensing capacitive interfaces, together with a dedicated CMOS IC, form a complete system based on the Coriolis force principle.

In addition to consumer and industrial applications, including gaming and smart user interfaces for advanced pointing devices, ST gyroscopes can be used for tilting and angular motion detection in robotics and assisted-GPS navigation systems.
