Overview
The L3GD20HTR is a low-power three-axis angular rate sensor produced by STMicroelectronics. This device integrates a sensing element and an IC interface, enabling it to provide the measured angular rate to the external world through digital interfaces such as I2C and SPI. The sensing element is manufactured using a dedicated micromachining process, while the IC interface is produced using a CMOS process, allowing for high integration and precision in matching the sensing element characteristics.
