MEMS Gyroscope Scale Factor
Gyroscope output scale factor from change in indicated signal divided by change in applied angular rate.
Description
Gyroscope output scale factor from change in indicated signal divided by change in applied angular rate.
MEMS Gyroscope Scale Factor: Gyroscope output scale factor from change in indicated signal divided by change in applied angular rate.
When to use MEMS Gyroscope Scale Factor
Use this electronics calculation for a first-pass component, converter, signal, motor, or sensor estimate when the stated operating conditions and units match the device data.
- Signal Change Volts (V)
- Required number input.
- Rate Change Degrees Per Second (°/s)
- Required number input.
How MEMS Gyroscope Scale Factor works
Gyroscope output scale factor from change in indicated signal divided by change in applied angular rate. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Volts Per Degree Per Second (V/(°/s))
- The resulting volts per degree per second returned as a number.
Limitations and assumptions
- MEMS resonance, scale factor, and Q depend on structure, packaging pressure, temperature, drive amplitude, damping, fabrication spread, mounting stress, and readout electronics. Lumped models may not capture mode coupling or nonlinear operation.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Check the result against the current datasheet and worst-case operating corners, then verify the circuit or measurement with simulation and bench testing where failure matters.
