12.2010 – Gleichmann Electronics now offers the SD746 combo sensor from SensorDynamics. Key features of the 6 x 6 x 1.2 mm3 inertial sensor are three measurement axes each for angular rate and acceleration as well as a wide measurement range of up to ±2048°/s for angular rate and ±8g for acceleration. The maximum offset error at room temperature is ±5°/s for the gyroscope signal and ±0.1g for the accelerometer signal. Sensitivity error at room temperature is ±2% for the gyroscope and acceleration signal, respectively. Additional features of the SD746 include a special power-off mode in which no power is consumed, but the SPI interface remains high-impedance and a continuously running self-test. The micromechanical combo sensor is provided in a compact QFN40 package and is designed for an operating voltage of 2.55 V to 3.6 V and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The typical power consumption is 6.5 mA. Given its low power consumption and small-scale package, the SD746 combo sensor is suitable for use both in battery-powered consumer applications and sophisticated industrial instrumentation & control applications. Samples and evaluation boards are available now.

Founded in 1979, Gleichmann & Co. Electronics GmbH, in the same company group with MSC Vertriebs GmbH, has established itself as one of the leading pan-European distributors of electronic assemblies and components. One of the reasons for the high acceptance by customers and suppliers is the company-s early focus on comparatively few, highly sophisticated products such as microcontrollers, programmable logic devices, displays and customer specific power supplies. From this, the resulting in-depth technical know-how of our sales engineers and field application engineers today enables us, if required by the customer, even implementation of complete new designs right up to the finished product. With two of its own ASIC design centers, the Gleichmann Electronics Research laboratory and one of the largest and most modern programming centers in Europe, Gleichmann & Co Electronics takes a leading role in terms of service and customer support.
