FXAS21000
Rev 1.3, 11/2014
3-Axis Digital Angular Rate
Gyroscope
FXAS21000 is a small, low-power, 3-axis yaw, pitch, and roll
angular rate gyroscope. The full-scale range is adjustable from
±200°/s to ±1600°/s, with Output Data Rates (ODR) from 1.5625
to 200 Hz. It features both I
2
C and SPI interfaces. The device
may be configured to generate an interrupt when a user-
programmable angular rate threshold is crossed on any one of
the enabled axes.
FXAS21000 is available in a plastic QFN package; the device is
guaranteed to operate over the extended temperature range of
–40 °C to +85 °C.
Features
• Supply voltage (V
DD
) from 1.95 V to 3.6 V
• Interface supply voltage (V
DDIO
) from 1.62 V to 3.6 V
• I
2
C interfaces
• Normal mode (100 kHz)
• Fast mode (400 kHz)
• SPI interface
• Up to 2 MHz (3- and 4-wire modes)
• FIFO buffer is 192 bytes (32 X/Y/Z samples) with stop and
circular operating modes
• Output Data Rates (ODR) from 1.5625 to 200 Hz;
integrated antialiasing filter ensures that output signal
bandwidth is limited to ODR/2
• Angular rate sensitivity of 0.2°/s in ±1600°/s FSR mode
• Low power standby mode
• Rate threshold interrupt
• Integrated self-test function
• No external charge-pump capacitor required
