Figure 15 shows the ADXRS642 output 225 kΩ resistor between the RATEOUT and SUMJ. If an external response with and without 15 g rms 50 Hz to 5 kHz of random resistor is added between RATEOUT and SUMJ, COUT must be vibration. The bandwidth of the gyro was limited to 1600 Hz. proportional y reduced to maintain the correct bandwidth. Performance is similar regardless of the direction of the input NULL ADJUSTMENT vibration. 1 The nominal 2.5 V null is for a symmetrical swing range at RATEOUT (1B, 2A). However, a nonsymmetric output swing may be suitable in some applications. Null adjustment is possible 0.1 by injecting a suitable current to SUMJ (1C, 2C). Note that supply disturbances may reflect some null instability. Digital supply noise 0.01 should be avoided, particularly in this case. /√Hz2SELF-TEST FUNCTION(°/s) 0.001 The ADXRS642 includes a self-test feature that actuates each of the sensing structures and associated electronics in the same manner, as if subjected to angular rate. It is activated by standard 0.0001 logic high levels applied to Input ST1 (5F, 5G), Input ST2 (4F, 4G), or both. ST1 causes the voltage at RATEOUT to change 0.00001 about −0.3 V, and ST2 causes an opposite change of +0.3 V.

ADXRS642 Output Response with and Without Random Vibration both ST1 and ST2 simultaneously is not damaging. ST1 and ST2 (15 g rms, 50 Hz to 5 kHz) are fairly closely matched (±2%), but actuating both simultaneously Figure 16 demonstrates the ADXRS642 dc noise response to 5g may result in a small apparent null bias shift proportional to the sine vibration over the 20 Hz to 5 kHz range. As can be seen, degree of self-test mismatch. there are no sensitive frequencies present, and vibration ST1 and ST2 are activated by applying a voltage equal to V rectification is vanishingly smal .

CONTINUOUS SELF-TEST0.10 The on-chip integration of the ADXRS642 gives it higher reliability than is obtainable with any other high volume manufacturing 0.08 method. Also, it is manufactured under a mature BiMOS process 0.06 that has field-proven reliability. As an additional failure detection measure, power-on self-test can be performed. However, some 0.04(°/s) applications may warrant continuous self-test while sensing rate.
