GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADIS16486 is a complete inertial system that includes a triaxis

gyroscope and a triaxis accelerometer. Each inertial sensor in the

ADIS16486 combines industry leading iMEMS® technology with

signal conditioning that optimizes dynamic performance. The

factory calibration characterizes each sensor for sensitivity, bias,

alignment, and linear acceleration (gyroscope bias). Therefore,

each sensor has dynamic compensation formulas that provide

accurate sensor measurements.

The ADIS16486 provides a simple, cost effective method for

integrating accurate, multiaxis inertial sensing into industrial

systems, especially when compared with the complexity and

investment associated with discrete designs. All necessary motion

testing and calibration are part of the production process at the

factory, which reduces system integration time. Tight orthogonal

alignment simplifies inertial frame alignment in navigation

systems. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) and register structure

provide a simple interface for data collection and configuration

control. Parylene coating of all internal circuitry provides a

protective barrier against moisture exposure.

The ADIS16486 uses the same footprint and connector system as

the ADIS16480, ADIS16485, ADIS16487, and ADIS16488A, which

greatly simplifies the upgrade process. The ADIS16486 is packaged

in a module that is approximately 47 mm × 44 mm × 14 mm with

a 24-lead standard connector interface.
