About

About ADIS16470 Tactical IMU

ADIS16470 samples three-axis angular rate and acceleration through a single SPI interface at rates up to 2,000 samples per second. Each unit is factory calibrated across temperature for sensitivity, alignment and bias, reducing the amount of sensor characterisation required by the equipment manufacturer.

The module includes filtering, data-ready signalling, self-test and programmable operating functions within a compact aluminium package. Host navigation and control systems use its raw inertial measurements for stabilised platforms, industrial vehicles, robotics and other motion-sensitive equipment.
