The LY330ALH is a high performance low-power single-axis micro-machined gyroscope capable of measuring angular rate along the yaw axis. It provides excellent temperature stability and high resolution over extended operating temperature range (-40 °C to 85 °C). The LY330ALH has a full scale of ±300 dps and is capable of detecting rates with a -3 dB bandwidth up to 140 Hz .

The device includes a sensing element composed of a single driving mass, kept in continuous oscillation and capable of reacting, based on the Coriolis principle, when an angular rate is applied. A CMOS IC provides the measured angular rate to the external world through analog output voltage, allowing high levels of integration and production trimming to better match sensing element characteristics. ST's family of gyroscopes leverages on the mature and robust manufacturing process already used for the production of micromachined accelerometers. ST is already in the field with several hundred million sensors which have received excellent acceptance from the market in terms of quality, reliability and performance. The LY330ALH is available in a plastic land grid array (LGA) package, which ST successfully pioneered for accelerometers. Today ST has the widest manufacturing capability and strongest expertise in the world for production of sensors in plastic LGA packages.
