Description
The LY5150ALH is a low-power single-axis
micromachined gyroscope capable of measuring
angular rate along yaw axis.
It provides excellent temperature stability and
high resolution over an extended operating
temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C).
Table 1.
It includes a sensing element composed by single
driving mass, kept in continuos oscillating
movement and able to react when an angular rate
is applied based on the Coriolis principle.
A CMOS IC provides the measured angular rate
to the external world through an analog output
voltage, allowing high level of integration and
production trimming to better match sensing
element characteristics.
ST’s gyroscope family leverages on robust and
mature manufacturing process already used for
the production of micromachined accelerometers.
ST is already in the field with several hundreds
million sensors with excellent acceptance from
the market in terms of quality, reliability and
performance.
LY5150ALH is provided in plastic land grid array
(LGA) package. Several years ago ST pioneered
successfully the usage of this package for
accelerometers. Today ST has the widest
manufacturing capability and strongest expertise
in the world for production of sensor in plastic
LGA package.

Terminology

Terminology
3.1
Sensitivity
An angular rate gyroscope is a device that produces a positive-going output voltage for
counterclockwise rotation around the sensitive axis considered. Sensitivity describes the
gain of the sensor and can be determined by applying a defined angular velocity to it. This
value changes very little over temperature and time.
3.2
Zero-rate level
Zero-rate level describes the actual output signal if there is no angular rate present. The
zero-rate level of precise MEMS sensors is, to some extent, a result of stress to the sensor
and therefore zero-rate level can slightly change after mounting the sensor onto a printed
circuit board or after exposing it to extensive mechanical stress. This value changes very
little over temperature and time.
3.3
Self-test
Self-test allows testing of the mechanical and electrical part of the sensor, allowing the
seismic mass to be moved by means of an electrostatic test-force. The self-test function is
off when the ST pin is connected to GND. When the ST pin is tied to Vdd, an actuation force
is applied to the sensor, emulating a definite Coriolis force. In this case the sensor output will
exhibit a voltage change in its DC level which is also dependent on the supply voltage.
When ST is active, the device output level is given by the algebraic sum of the signals
produced by the velocity acting on the sensor and by the electrostatic test-force. If the output
signals change within the amplitude specified in Table 3, then the mechanical element is
working properly and the parameters of the interface chip are within the defined
specifications.
3.4
High pass filter reset (HP)
The LY5150ALH provides the possibility to reset the optional external high pass filter by
applying a high logic value to the HP pad. This procedure ensures faster response,
especially during overload conditions. Moreover, this operation is suggested each time the
device is powered.

Power supply decoupling capacitors (100 nF ceramic or polyester + 10 µF aluminum) should
be placed as near as possible to the device (common design practice).
The LY5150ALH allows band limiting of the output rate response through the use of an
external low pass filter (suggested) and/or high pass filter (optional) in addition to the
embedded low pass filter (ft = 140 Hz).
4xOUTZ is OUTZ amplified outputs line, internally buffered to ensure low output impedance.
If external high pass or low pass filtering is not applied it is mandatory to short-circuit pad 9
to pad 10 when amplified outputs are used.
When only non-amplified output is used (OUTZ), it is suggested to set pad 9 to fixed
reference voltage (Vref).
When high pass filter is applied to not amplified output (OUTx), it is recommended to buffer
the line before entering ADC for performance optimization.
The LY5150ALH IC includes a PLL (phase locked loop) circuit to synchronize driving and
sensing interfaces. Capacitors and resistors must be added at the FILTVDD and VCONT
pins (as shown in Figure 3) to implement a low-pass filter.
