VG440
Power Sensing Solutions for a Better Life
MEMS-BASED VERTICAL GYRO
The MEMSIC VG440 is a high-reliability low power
strapdown vertical gyroscope that provides roll, pitch
and yaw measurement data in both static and
dynamic environments. The VG440 can accept
external GPS aiding inputs for optimized
performance, and is available in standard and high
range sensor configurations.
