MLX90609 simple breakout board for the Melexis gyroscope

The MLX90609 has various build in features to support automotive and high volume applications (built-in on demand and non disruptive continuous self test, serial number in EEPROM…).

This is a simple breakout board for the Melexis gyroscope featuring both analog and digital (SPI) interfaces. Designed for dead reckoning navigation applications, the MLX90609-E2 is a 150 degree/s max rate gyro with low drift and programmable bandwidth, this gyro is perfect for digital stabilization and control.
