2. Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide a detailed product description and design-related information
regarding the IDG-500 dual-axis gyroscope.
3. Product Overview
The IDG-500 is a state-of-the-art dual-axis gyroscope designed specifically for complex motion sensing in
3D-input devices and gaming controllers. The IDG-500 gyroscope utilizes state-of-the-art MEMS fabrication
with wafer-scale integration technology. This technology combines completed MEMS wafers and completed
CMOS electronic wafers together using a patented and proprietary wafer-scale bonding process that
simultaneously provides electrical connections and hermetically sealed enclosures. This unique and novel
fabrication technique is the key enabling technology that allows for the design and manufacture of high
performance, multi-axis, integrated MEMS gyroscopes in a very small and economical package. Integration
at the wafer-level minimizes parasitic capacitances, allowing for improved signal-to-noise over a discrete
solution. With the addition of the new patented Auto Zero feature for minimizing bias drift over temperature,
the IDG-500 offers unparalleled gyroscope performance in 3D-input and gaming applications.
4. Features
By integrating the control electronics with the sensor elements at the wafer level, the IDG-500 gyroscope
supports a rich feature set including:
 Integrated X- and Y-axis gyros on a single chip
 Two separate outputs per axis for higher-speed and higher-sensitivity applications:
 Integrated amplifiers and low-pass filters
 Auto-Zero function
 On-chip temperature sensor
 High vibration rejection over a wide frequency range
 High cross-axis isolation by proprietary MEMS design
 3V single-supply operation
 Hermetically sealed for temp and humidity resistance
 10,000 g shock tolerant
 Smallest dual axis gyro package at 4 x 5 x 1.2mm
 RoHS and Green Compliant
