Crossbow Technology introduces tri-axial low-G sensor module for inertial navigation, automotive testing

Crossbow Technology (San Jose, CA), a supplier of low-cost, intelligent digital sensing solutions, today introduced the CXL02TG3, a tri-axial ¼ 2G high-performance accelerometer designed for high-stability, low-noise applications such as inertial navigation, instrumentation, and automotive testing.

The company's TG series tri-axial accelerometer offers high accuracy and the microG noise level provides excellent measurements for demanding instrumentation applications. It is appropriate for automotive testing because it combines high accuracy with a robust package to provide precise measurements in harsh environments.

The CXL02TG3 combines MEMS accelerometers with a signal conditioning ASIC into one compact module. A noise floor of 20uG/MHz delivers excellent resolution on very small signals. Low bias drift and a DC response makes this sensor outstanding for low cost inertial applications.

Priced at $989 in single unit quantities, the CLX02TG3 is available now for shipments. The CLX02TG3F package measures 2.235-in x 1.435-in x 0.980-in including mounting flanges. In addition, the CXL02TG3S is available with an integrated 10-32 mounting stud, which measures 1.435-in x 1.435-in x 0.980-in.

Crossbow Technology is a supplier of low-cost, intelligent digital sensor solutions. Crossbow's sensors integrate silicon micromachining (MEMS) technology with digital signal processing. The sensors incorporate the company's proprietary SoftSensor embedded firmware, which includes algorithms for stabilization and navigation applications coupled with internal compensation and communication functions.
