EMCORE Announces New SDI170 Quartz MEMS Tactical Grade Inertial Measurement Unit for Replacement of Legacy Ring Laser Gyro Products - Seite 2

In addition to EMCORE’s latest generation solid-state hermetically sealed quartz gyroscopes and accelerometers, the SDI170 IMU (like the HG1700-AG58) communicates using the high-speed SDLC protocol over the industry-standard RS-422 electrical interface for seamless compatibility and outstanding precision performance. With continuous BIT (Built-in Test) monitoring and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) protection designed into a compact 33 cubic inch package, EMCORE’s SDI170 will provide reliable 20-year operating and storage life without calibration in demanding, mission-critical environments.

The SDI170 is expected to be available for high-rate order shipment with short lead times beginning in June 2021.
