Triple-axis gyroscope for high-speed motion and wearable applications

InvenSense's ITG-3701 triple-axis gyroscope is now available from Digi-Key. Today’s wearable sports applications require higher than the common ±2000dps (degrees per second) FSR so that critical data is not lost at the point of impact. In response, InvenSense developed the ±4000dps ITG-3701 range which enables precise analysis of say a golf or tennis racquet swing, and soccer ball and basketball applications providing continuous data before, during, and after impact. The InvenSense ITG-3701 directly addresses the wearable sports market technology requirements with lowest-power consumption of only 5.9mW (3.3mA at 1.8V), extending battery life and an industry first 0.75mm height, says the company.
