ST debuts new Gyroscope for image stabilization in Smartphones

STMicroelectronics has introduced a new 2-axis gyroscope specifically optimized for optical image stabilization in smartphones and digital still cameras. Benefiting from compact dimensions of just 2.3x2.3x0.7mm, the L2G2IS can be easily integrated into the next generation of stabilized camera modules, where the dimensions of the components are critical.
“Optical Image Stabilization has become an essential feature in today’s smartphones and digital still cameras, thanks to the availability of dedicated MEMS gyroscopes. With the L2G2IS, ST has once again raised the bar and set a new standard, dramatically reducing the volume and area required by this key function,” said Fabio Pasolini, General Manager, Motion MEMS Division, STMicroelectronics.
At a size 50% smaller than the previous generation by area and 60% smaller by volume, the L2G2IS can still provide the high performance demanded by the applications and consumers.
The L2G2IS operates with a supply voltage range of 1.7V to 3.6V.
Samples of ST’s new 2-axis L2G2IS gyroscope are available and budgetary unit pricing is $1.70 for orders over 1,000 pieces.
