ITG3050

The ITG3050 is a single-chip, digital output, 3-axis MEMS Gyroscope features a 512bytes FIFO and a secondary I²C sensor bus that interfaces to 3rd party digital accelerometers. The combination of FIFO and dedicated sensor bus allows the device to directly acquire data from an off-chip accelerometer without intervention from an external processor. This both lowers the traffic on the primary (application processor) bus interface and saves power by allowing the system processor to burst read sensor data from the device's FIFO and then go into a low-power sleep mode while the device collects more data. The ITG-3050 digital gyro with programmable full-scale ranges of ±250, ±500, ±1000 and ±2000 degrees/sec, which is useful for precision tracking of both fast and slow motions.

• Digital-output temperature sensor
