23 × 23 × 8.5 mm Module with a 20 pin connector

Advantages

High performance module that includes multiple 6-Axis MEMS Gyroscopes and Accelerometers and delivers low bias instability, ARW and VRW
TDK’s unique SensorFT™ feature delivers built-in redundancy and early warning against individual sensor failures
Factory calibration over for offset, sensitivity (scale factor), G-sensitivity and cross-axis sensitivity enables accurate measurements across entire operating temperature range

These modules also include TDK’s unique SensorFT™ feature that delivers:

Built-in redundancy: The module can tolerate one or more failures of its active components without complete failure
Early warning: The module provides status indicating changes in its performance, thus providing an early warning to the user, before the module fails completely.
Enhanced lifetime and reliability
