CRS09 is a viable low-cost MEMS alternative in navigation systems where conventional North-seeking methods cannot be used.
The latest silicon MEMS gyro to be released from Silicon Sensing Systems has been hailed by developers of navigation and platform stabilisation systems. CRS09 is based on an improved version of Silicon Sensing’s MEMS vibrating ring gyro and selected discrete-component electronic design, giving it exceptional performance against key market benchmarks including bias stability and noise.
The ability to sense earth rate – and from it the ability to establish where North is – has been the ‘holy grail’ for gyroscope integrators for many years, and usually requires expensive and delicate mechanical spinning- wheel or optical (eg FOG) technologies to achieve.
Such an ability means that CRS09 is a viable low-cost MEMS alternative in navigation systems where conventional North-seeking methods cannot be used.
Silicon Sensing has developed silicon MEMS gyros, particularly in real-world applications where the ability to withstand the effects of temperature, shock and vibration are of paramount importance. The CRS09 continues this tradition into the new marketplaces, enabling high-grade navigation in hostile environments and at price points well below the alternative fibre-optic gyro solutions.
