ADXRS642Data SheetABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Table 2.RATE SENSITIVE AXISParameter Rating This is a z-axis rate-sensing device (also called a yaw rate- Acceleration (Any Axis, 0.5 ms) sensing device). It produces a positive going output voltage Unpowered 10,000 g for clockwise rotation about the axis normal to the package Powered 10,000 g top, that is, clockwise when looking down at the package lid.

RATEOUT Signal Increases with Clockwise Rotation any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect ESD CAUTION device reliability. Drops onto hard surfaces can cause shocks of greater than 10,000 g and can exceed the absolute maximum rating of the device. Care should be exercised in handling to avoid damage. Rev.
