Near NAV-Grade SAFRAN MEMS Gyro Improves SWaP with New ASIC and Ceramic Packaging

Several publications on near-Navigation grade MEMS gyros have been published recently ([1], [2]). Gains in SWaP are critical for several applications such as low-SWaP AHRS, gyrocompassing, and stabilized optical or guidance systems. In this paper, we present the latest results obtained at Safran on Nav-grade MEMS Gyro development. The first part of the paper will focus on Safran's new mixed-signal, analog dominant ASIC. In the second part, we will introduce a new ceramic package called Core MRG carrying the MEMS and the ASIC. In the third part, we will present the performance results measured with the Core MRG. As summed up in Table.1, typical Core MRG performances are compatible with north-keeping and mid-end navigation applications.
