The CRM200 is a small, powerful gyro where accurate navigation and direction are needed and where small packaging is a requirement. The CRM200 is the “orthogonal” version of the PinPoint 1-axis gyro.

PinPoint® is a single-axis MEMS angular rate sensor (gyro) capable of measuring angular velocity up to a maximum of ±1,000º/s which has two output modes; an analogue voltage signal which is linearly proportional to angular speed, and a digital signal in SPI® protocol. The choice of output mode; analogue or digital, is determined by the user when connecting it to the user’s host PCBA

PinPoint® is available in several configurations;

  • CRM100 which measures angular velocity about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the host PCBA, referred to as ‘in-plane’ sensing,
  • CRM200 which measures angular velocity about an axis which is parallel to the plane of the host PCBA, referred to as ‘orthogonal’ sensing and
  • CRM102 and CRM202 which are capable of measuring angular velocities in excess of ±2700º/s.
