Murata — SCC400T Motion Sensor

Murata has released a new MEMS sensor that combines a two-axis gyroscope and three-axis accelerometer in a single package. The new SCC433T-K03 offers the best offset and linearity stability performance in its class over lifetime and temperature.

Murata has also introduced the SCC410T-K03, a single-axis gyroscope. Together, these two parts in the SCC400T series enable the implementation of a 6 degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) sensor solution on a single board.

The SCC400T series sensors provide two parallel acceleration and rate-of-turn digital outputs with independent filter controls via a serial peripheral interface. The measurement range of the gyroscope is ±300°/s for both parallel outputs; the accelerometer measurement range is ±6 g for a normal output, and ±8 g for a secondary output.

Designers who integrate the SCC400T sensors into end product designs will benefit from stable measurement outputs over the lifetime of the device: offset drift over lifetime is a maximum of 0.9°/s, and a maximum of 25 mg. Noise performance is another outstanding feature of these MEMS sensors: noise density is just 70 µg/√Hz and 0.002°/s√Hz.

The sensor measures 10.4 mm x 7.65 mm x 2.3 mm.
