Stresses above those listed under the Absolute Maximum

Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a

stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or

any other conditions above those indicated in the operational

section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute

maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect

device reliability.

Drops onto hard surfaces can cause shocks of >2000 g and can

exceed the absolute maximum rating of the device. Exercise

care during handling to avoid damage.

RATE-SENSITIVE AXIS

The ADXRS623 is a Z-axis, rate-sensing device (also called a

yaw rate-sensing device). It produces a positive-going output

voltage for clockwise rotation about the axis normal to the

package top, that is, clockwise when looking down at the

package lid.
