STMicroelectronics L3G462A
The L3G462A is available in a plastic land grid array (LGA) package and can operate within a temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C. It includes a sensing element and an IC interface able to provide the measured angular rate to the external world through three analog outputs. The sensing element is manufactured using a dedicated micromachining process developed by ST to produce inertial sensors and actuators on silicon wafers.| Part No. | L3G462A |
