Description

The L3GD20H is a low-power three-axis angular

rate sensor.

It includes a sensing element and an IC interface

able to provide the measured angular rate to the

external world through digital interface (I2C/SPI).

The sensing element is manufactured using a

dedicated micromachining process developed by

ST to produce inertial sensors and actuators on

silicon wafers.

The IC interface is manufactured using a CMOS

process that allows a high level of integration to

design a dedicated circuit which is trimmed to

better match the sensing element characteristics.

The L3GD20H has a full scale of

±245/±500/±2000 dps and is capable of

measuring rates with a user selectable

bandwidth.

The L3GD20H is available in a plastic land grid

array (LGA) package and can operate within a

temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.
