Product details
Overview
ADXRS642BBGZ-RL from Analog Devices is an industrial-grade, single-chip, z-axis (yaw rate) angular rate gyroscope with ±250°/s measurement range, 20°/hour bias stability, and 0.02°/√second angle random walk. It delivers vibration-rejecting performance in severe mechanical environments such as platform stabilization and inertial measurement units.
For engineers reviewing the ADXRS642BBGZ-RL datasheet, ADXRS642BBGZ-RL pinout, ADXRS642BBGZ-RL application, or ADXRS642BBGZ-RL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10,000 g shock survivability, ratiometric 5 V operation, self-test capability via ST1/ST2 digital inputs, and integrated temperature sensor output for calibration.
Technical Context
The ADXRS642BBGZ-RL implements a resonator-based gyro architecture with four polysilicon sensing structures electrostatically driven at ~18 kHz. Its fully differential quad-sensor design rejects linear acceleration and broadband vibration by converting external g-forces into common-mode signals.
It uses on-chip charge pump circuitry (requiring CP1–CP5 capacitors) to generate the 18–20 V needed for electrostatic resonance from a 5 V supply. The RATEOUT voltage is ratiometric to VRATIO, enabling supply-noise rejection when paired with a ratiometric ADC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Measurement Range | ±250°/s minimum full-scale range; supports ±300°/s over temperature with guaranteed specs. |
| Sensitivity | 7.0 mV/°/sec (−40°C to +105°C); ratiometric to VRATIO, enabling stable scaling across supply variation. |
| Bias Stability | 20°/hour; enables high-accuracy long-duration angular integration without frequent null recalibration. |
| Angle Random Walk | 0.02°/√second; defines low-frequency noise floor critical for precision inertial navigation. |
| Vibration Rectification | 0.0002°/s/g² (25 g rms, 50 Hz–5 kHz); quantifies minimal DC error induced by mechanical vibration. |
| Bandwidth | User-adjustable up to 2000 Hz via external COUT; supports real-time control loops requiring fast response. |
| Shock Survivability | 10,000 g powered and unpowered; ensures operational integrity during drop events or explosive transients. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +105°C; qualified for industrial and under-hood automotive environments. |
Pinout & Package
The ADXRS642BBGZ-RL is housed in a 32-ball ceramic BGA (BG-32-3), measuring 6.85 mm × 6.85 mm × 3.8 mm, with solder balls arranged in a 7×7 grid (corner balls omitted). It requires no external oscillator and integrates all signal conditioning, charge pump, and self-test logic on-die.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1B, 2A | RATEOUT | Main analog output: voltage proportional to yaw rate; ratiometric to VRATIO; drives up to 200 µA or 1000 pF. |
| 1C, 2C | SUMJ | Summing junction for null adjustment; injection current here offsets RATEOUT baseline without affecting gain. |
| 1E, 2E | VRATIO | Reference supply input; sets scale for RATEOUT, TEMP, ST1, ST2; must be ≤ AVCC. |
| 1F, 2G | AGND | Analog ground return; separate from PGND to isolate charge pump noise from signal path. |
| 3F, 3G | TEMP | Temperature sensor output: ~2.5 V at 25°C, ~9 mV/°C scale factor; used for in-system thermal compensation. |
| 4F, 4G | ST2 | Digital self-test input; logic high injects +45°/sec equivalent signal into RATEOUT. |
| 5F, 5G | ST1 | Digital self-test input; logic high injects −45°/sec equivalent signal into RATEOUT; ±2% match with ST2. |
| 6D, 7D | CP5 | HV filter capacitor terminal; connects to 100 nF capacitor for charge pump stabilization. |
| 6A–7C, 5A–4B | CP1–CP4 | Charge pump capacitor terminals; four 22 nF caps required unless external 18–20 V supply is used. |
| 1D, 2D | NC | No connection; must remain unconnected per datasheet; floating or tied pins risk parametric shift. |
| 6G, 7F | PGND | Charge pump ground return; isolated from AGND to prevent switching noise coupling into analog output. |
| 6E, 7E | VDD | Positive charge pump supply; accepts 4.75–5.25 V; powers internal HV generation circuitry. |
| 3A, 3B | AVCC | Analog supply input; powers core sensor and signal chain; must be same voltage as VDD. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Z-axis (yaw) angular rate sensing | Single-axis measurement aligned normal to package top; optimized for rotational motion about vertical axis in stabilization systems. |
| Quad-sensor vibration rejection | Mechanical coupling of four resonant structures converts vibration into common-mode signals, rejected by differential readout architecture. |
| Digital self-test with dual inputs | ST1 and ST2 independently inject calibrated −45°/sec and +45°/sec responses, enabling functional verification without physical rotation. |
| Integrated temperature sensor | Output at 3F/3G provides real-time die temperature data (~9 mV/°C) for software-based bias and sensitivity compensation. |
| Ratiometric output architecture | RATEOUT, TEMP, ST1, ST2 all scale with VRATIO; eliminates gain error from supply drift when used with ratiometric ADCs. |
| On-chip charge pump | Generates 18–20 V internally from 5 V supply; eliminates need for external HV source while maintaining resonator performance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar yaw rate sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADXRS622BBGZ-RL | Same 32-ball CBGA package, −40°C to +105°C rating, and pinout; but lower vibration rejection and no enhanced noise floor specification. | Lacks ADXRS642BBGZ-RL's improved vibration rectification (0.0002°/s/g² vs. unspecified) and angle random walk (0.02°/√s vs. 0.03°/√s typical). | Select ADXRS622BBGZ-RL only if cost sensitivity outweighs requirement for highest vibration immunity and lowest noise in harsh environments. |
| ADXRS652BBGZ-RL | Identical pinout, package, and temperature range; shares same enhanced vibration rejection and self-test architecture as ADXRS642BBGZ-RL. | Offers ±500°/s range (vs. ±250°/s), higher bandwidth (up to 3000 Hz), and improved bias instability (15°/hour vs. 20°/hour). | Choose ADXRS652BBGZ-RL when wider dynamic range or tighter bias stability is required; otherwise ADXRS642BBGZ-RL provides optimal balance for ±250°/s applications. |
Compared with ADXRS622BBGZ-RL, the ADXRS642BBGZ-RL delivers measurably lower vibration-induced error and better long-term bias stability-critical for precision stabilization. Against ADXRS652BBGZ-RL, it trades extended range and marginally better bias for identical footprint and lower power consumption in standard ±250°/s use cases.

FAQ
What is the primary sensing axis of the ADXRS642BBGZ-RL?
The ADXRS642BBGZ-RL is a z-axis (yaw rate) gyroscope: its sensitive axis is perpendicular to the top surface of the package. Clockwise rotation about this axis produces a positive voltage at RATEOUT (pins 1B/2A). This orientation makes it ideal for heading-rate measurement in rotating platforms and stabilization systems where vertical-axis motion dominates.
Does the ADXRS642BBGZ-RL require external high-voltage components?
No-the ADXRS642BBGZ-RL integrates an on-chip charge pump that generates the 18–20 V required for its resonant polysilicon structure from a standard 5 V supply. Four 22 nF capacitors (CP1–CP4) and one 100 nF capacitor (CP5) are required externally for charge pump stability, but no external HV source is needed unless bypassing the pump entirely.
How does the self-test function work on the ADXRS642BBGZ-RL?
The ADXRS642BBGZ-RL features two independent digital self-test inputs: ST1 (pins 5F/5G) and ST2 (pins 4F/4G). Applying logic high to ST1 injects a −45°/sec equivalent signal at RATEOUT; ST2 injects +45°/sec. Their ±2% mismatch is characterized and usable for diagnostic validation without mechanical stimulus-ensuring sensor and signal chain integrity before deployment.
Can the ADXRS642BBGZ-RL operate without the VRATIO pin connected?
No-VRATIO (pins 1E/2E) must be connected to a stable reference voltage (≤ AVCC) because RATEOUT, TEMP, ST1, and ST2 are all ratiometric to it. Omitting VRATIO causes undefined scaling, loss of supply-noise rejection, and invalid output calibration. The datasheet specifies VRATIO = AVCC = 5 V for nominal operation and full-range output swing.
What is the purpose of the SUMJ pin on the ADXRS642BBGZ-RL?
SUMJ (pins 1C/2C) is the summing junction node for the output amplifier. It allows analog null adjustment by injecting current-shifting the RATEOUT baseline without altering sensitivity. This enables asymmetric output swing optimization in systems with unipolar ADCs or constrained voltage rails, and is distinct from digital offset trimming which is not supported on the ADXRS642BBGZ-RL.
