STMicroelectronics company , a leader among manufacturers of sensor technology MEMS, introduced a new series gyroscopes, specially designed based on the use in optical image stabilization in smart phones and digital cameras.
Optical image stabilization has become an important feature in today's smart phones and digital cameras. By moving the lens elements in real time compensate for camera movement, can greatly improve the sharpness of images, especially when shooting in low-light conditions when a hand shake can cause blurred images.
Dual-axis horoscope L2G3IS and three-axis gyroscope L3G3IS run at high resonance frequency - 20 kHz. This allows you to make them immune to damage as a result of ultrasonic cleaning, which is often used to build electronic devices.
Gyroscopes are equipped with a temperature sensor and interface SPI, as well as built-in tunable filters, bass and treble. The units are designed to supply voltage 2.4-3.6 V for their external design selected case LGA-16 sizes: 3 x 3,5 x 1 mm.
Samples L2G3IS and L3G3IS are already available. Price of serial devices - $ 2.37 and $ 3.38, respectively (at the order of 1000 pieces or more).
