Silicon Sensing Launches CRG21 Gyro for Extreme Shock Environments
Silicon Sensing has introduced the CRG21, a compact MEMS gyroscope designed for extreme-shock environments. This new single-axis rate sensor serves as a direct replacement for the successful CRG20 gyro, enhancing performance in aerospace, defense, industrial, and automotive applications. The CRG21 gyro is engineered to withstand harsh conditions, featuring a fully integrated digital solution that minimizes space and weight, thereby reducing overall inertial system costs. It operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C and offers exceptional shock resistance, low noise performance, and improved angular random walk and bias over temperature. With its identical footprint to the CRG20, the CRG21 allows for easy retrofitting in existing systems. It is available in various rate ranges and bandwidths, making it adaptable to a wide range of applications. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
