Gladiator Technologies has introduced a three-axis, inertial rate system gyroscope. The G300D gyro is small at 0.67 cubic inches, low power and high speed, making it suitable for image stabilization applications.

The G300D has message timing under 150 microseconds and output data rates up to 8 kHz with external sync. A micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) gyroscope, it has an extremely low ARW of <0.0028°/sec/√Hz and an option for both 24 and 32-Bit LSB for exceptional resolution.

Users can configure the G300D to their desired configuration using a software development kit or through software protocols to simplify the integration process.

“The G300D, with a 250-Hz bandwidth, allows user to replace more complicated and expensive gyros for image stabilization applications. The three-axis package is also convenient for mounting in any orientation for tight space requirements,” said Rand Hulsing, chief scientist at Gladiator Technologies.

“The G300D product is a good example of our SX-series architecture, which has enabled Gladiator to extend our sensor fusion technologies into high speed applications with message latency under 150 usec,” said Lee Dunbar, chief software architect at Gladiator Technologies. “This output offers minimal phase lag like an analog sensor by virtually eliminating typical signal processing and digital conversion overheads.”

The G300D gyro is non-ITAR.
