SensorDynamics has introduced the SD742 and SD740 micromechanical gyroscopes. The SD742 adds an XY angular rate and the SD740 an XYZ angular rate device to the firm’s line of 6x6x1.8 cubic mm QFN40-packaged sensors.

In addition to having two or three analogue outputs, it comes with I²C and SPI digital interfaces, along with a wide measurement range of up to ±4096°/s.

The sensors are temperature-compensated and factory calibrated to minimize offset error and temperature drift.

The SD742 and SD740 are designed for an operating voltage of 2.6 through 3.3V and an operating temperature range of -40 through +85°C.

Their maximum offset error is 10°/s at room temperature and 5°/s over the entire operating temperature range, while their sensitivity error at room temperature and temperature drift of sensitivity is maximal 5%, respectively.

Those parameters can be improved by a factor of 2 upon special customer request. The two digital interfaces provide a full scale standard measurement range of ±1024°/s., which can be customized up to ±4096°/s. The internal updating of measured values is provided at a high rate of at least 10 kHz.
