Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now shipping the new SCH16T-K10 6-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) gyroscope and accelerometer from Murata Electronics. The SCH16T-K10 is the latest addition to Murata’s 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) series that delivers new standards in high-performance drone and robotics applications.
The Murata Electronics SCH16T-K10, available from Mouser, offers unparalleled performance in challenging environments by enhancing gyroscope capabilities, providing a dynamic range ten times greater than that of the previous generation of IMUs. The SCH16T-K10 sensor is based on 3D MEMS technology with signal processing managed by a mixed-signal application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), which has selectable in-application settings featuring an impressive 2000 degrees per second (dps) gyroscope measurement range, and a 16g accelerometer measurement range, making it ideal for drone navigation and other high-performance robotics applications.
The SCH16T-K10 sensor’s market-leading vibration rectification capability allows precise measurements in vibrating environments. At the same time, its mechanical robustness ensures durability under high shocks, ensuring that measurements remain accurate and unsaturated even in dynamic conditions. The SCH16T-K10 features include a SafeSPI v2.0 interface, 20-bit and 16-bit output data, extensive self-diagnostics, and a compact SOIC-24 package with an 11.8 ×13 mm2 footprint.
Application development based on the SCH16T-K10 is supported by the SCH16T-K10-PCB sensor board, which features a pre-mounted SCH16T-K10 IMU, pin headers, and all required passive components. The sensor board provides an example application circuit, allowing rapid prototyping when incorporated into existing designs.
