Orthogonal Perspectives
Question: I am using a MEMS inertial measurement unit (IMU) in a self-balancing guidance control system for a personal transportation platform. Can I expect a consumer targeted IMU to eliminate all misalignment errors between each sensor if all of the core sensor elements are on a single piece of silicon?
Answer:
No, this is generally not a safe expectation for your design. Industrial grade IMUs, which use robust discrete sensors with optimal packaging and caibration, offer much better alignment precision than consumer-targeted IMUs residing on a single piece of silicon.
Consumer targeted and industrial targeted IMUs tend to specify axis alignment behaviors differently. Consumer IMUs typically lump all misalignment errors into a single cross-axis sensitivity specification. Industrial targeted IMUs, such as the recently released ADIS16490, specify alignment precision more directly using two different specifications: axis-to-axis misalignment error and axi
