SYSTEMS

Inertial System

The ADIS16545/ADIS16547 are a complete inertial system that includes a triaxis gyroscope and a triaxis accelerometer. The ADIS16545 and ADIS16547 offer a technological leap that elevates the SWAP-C value of MEMS-based gyroscopes into the fiber-optic gyroscope performance space. The newest six DoF fully calibrated IMUs to join ADI’s portfolio offer gyroscope performance of 0.07 degrees/hr angular random walk, and all-condition bias repeatability as low as 65 degrees/hr. ADIS16545 and ADIS16547 enable applications such as navigation, platform stabilization, precision instrumentation and more.
