ADI ADIS16501 Precision MEMS IMU
Vendor: Analog Devices (ADI, )
Product: ADIS16501 MEMS IMU
Analog Devices (USA) ADIS16501 is a precision miniature MEMS IMU: triaxial digital gyroscope with ±500 °/s range, 2.7 °/h in-run bias stability, 0.15 °/√hr angular random walk (x/y, 1σ) and ±0.25° axis-to-axis misalignment; triaxial digital accelerometer with ±14 g range and 12.7 µg in-run bias stability (x/y). Each sensor is factory calibrated for sensitivity, bias, alignment, linear acceleration (gyro bias) and point of percussion; the SPI interface and register structure simplify integration with automatic/manual bias correction. It survives 1500 g mechanical shock, operates from −40 to +105 °C in a 100-ball BGA module, and ships with official Linux driver, ROS2 driver and PyADI-IIO support — a mainstream choice for humanoid robots, robot dogs and industrial mobile platforms.
