CA6206F MEMS IMU

A compact, high-performance 6DOF MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit combining a 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer with outstanding bias stability, low noise, and factory-calibrated temperature compensation — economically priced.

Engineered for Precision

A 32-bit processor outputs high-rate raw 6-axis IMU data and an optional real-time 3-D AHRS solution, delivering consistent performance across a wide variety of dynamic control and navigation applications.

Low-Bias Gyroscope

±250°/s range with bias instability ≤ 2 °/h (Allan) and angle random walk ≤ 0.25 °/√hr for stable, drift-free heading.

Low-Noise Accelerometer

±4 g tri-axial accelerometer with bias stability ≤ 0.05 mg and velocity random walk ≤ 0.025 m/s/√hr.

Factory Temperature Cal.

Each unit is factory-calibrated with full temperature compensation for repeatable performance from -40 to +85 °C.

Compact & Rugged

Measures just 22.4 × 22.4 × 9 mm and weighs ≤ 20 g, with shock resistance ≥ 2000 g and vibration ≥ 20 grms.
