Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings

may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress

rating only; functional operation of the device at these or 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

device reliability.

Drops onto hard surfaces can cause shocks of greater than

2000 g and exceed the absolute maximum rating of the device.

Care should be exercised in handling to avoid damage.

THERMAL RESISTANCE

The ADIS16120 provides a temperature output that is

representative of the junction temperature. This can be used for

system-level monitoring and power management/thermal

characterization.

RATE SENSITIVE AXIS

This is a z-axis rate sensing device that is also called a yaw rate

sensing device. It produces a positive-going change in the

output voltage as a result of clockwise rotation about the axis,

normal to the package top; that is, clockwise when looking

down at the package lid.
