Mikroe MIKROE-3669 Gyro 5 Click

Mikroe MIKROE-3669 Gyro 5 Click is based on the TDK InvenSense ITG-3701 three-axis digital gyroscope sensor IC. The ITG-3701 incorporates microelectromechanical sensing elements (MEMS) produced using a proprietary CMOS micromachining technology. This technology allows for excellent stability and linearity over temperature. The angular data is available in a 16-bit format, along with the device's die temperature data. Mikroe Gyro 5 click can be used for angular speed up to 4000dps (Degrees Per Second), features a FIFO buffer, two dedicated interrupt lines, and on-chip data processing for optimized firmware development.

Gyro 5 click offers two communication interfaces. It can be used with either I2C or SPI. The onboard SMD jumpers labeled COMM SEL allow switching between the two interfaces. This Click board can operate with only 3.3V MCUs and is equipped with required pull-up resistors. The device is set to work over the I2C interface by default.
