The Gyroscope measures angular velocity using the Coriolis Effect. When a mass moves in a certain direction with a certain speed and an external angular rate is applied as shown in the green arrow below, a force such as the red-blue arrow shown, causes the mass to move vertically.

So, similar to the accelerometer, this displacement causes a change in capacitance that is associated with a specific angular rate.

Gyroscope

The structure of the micro-Gyroscope is something like this. A mass that is constantly moving or oscillating and when an external angular rate is applied, the flexible part of the mass moves and undergoes vertical displacement.

An overview of the IAM20380 gyroscope

IAM20380 gyroscope

The IAM-20380 is a 3-axis Gyroscope in a 16-pin LGA package. The IAM-20380 Gyroscope sensor also has a 512-byte FIFO which can reduce serial bus  traffic and power consumption by allowing the processor to sequentially read sensor data and then go into low-power mode. The IAM-20380 sensor with its 3 integrated axis helps designers to reduce the space required for design and the cost spent on selecting parts. IAM-20380 Gyroscope has a programmable full-scale range of ±250 dps, ±500 dps, ±1000 dps, and ±2000 dps and 16-bit internal ADC, which makes this sensor an ideal choice for applications such as navigation systems, Lift Gate Motion Detections and even camera stabilization. Other advanced features of this sensor include programmable digital filters, internal temperature sensor, and I2C and SPI digital communication protocols.

GebraBit IAM20380 module

GEBRABIT IAM20380

After the explanations mentioned above, due to the LGA package and the lack of access to the sensor pins, you have noticed that, the user needs a starter circuit and driver for the hardware development and of course the software development of the IAM20380 sensor. For the convenience of users, this work has been done by implementing the IAM20380  sensor circuit and providing access to the communication and power supply signal pins, with the ability to select the I2C or SPI communication protocol and the operation voltage and logic level of the communication protocols.

GEBRABIT IAM20380

It is enough to put the GebraBit IAM20380 module in the BreadBoard, then by applying the proper voltage and choosing the I2C or SPI communication protocol, Set-up the GebraBit IAM20380 module with any of Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Discovery board, and then receive the data. We especially recommend you to use GebraBit microcontroller modules ( GebraBit STM32F303 or GebraBit ATMEGA32 module) for developing GebraBit IAM20380.

The reason of our recommendation for setting-up the GebraBit IAM20380 module with GebraBit microcontroller development modules(such as GebraBit STM32F303 or GebraBit ATMEGA32), is the presence of an internal 3V3 regulator on these modules and the compatibility of the pin order of all GebraBit modules together (GEBRABUS standard), it’s enough to Put the IAM20380 in the corresponding socket as shown in the above picture and develop the desired sensor module without the need for wiring. 

Introduction of IAM20380 module sections

IAM20380 sensor

It’s the main IC of the following module, which is placed in the center of the module and its circuit is designed.

IAM20380 Main IC

Communication protocol selection jumpers

If the 0R resistors of all Jumper Selectors are to the left, the I2C protocol is selected.

IAM20380 I2C

If the 0R resistors of all Jumper Selectors are to the right, the SPI protocol is selected.

By default, the I2C protocol is selected.

AD0 SEL Jumper

If the I2C protocol is selected, the state of the AD0 SEL jumper, determines the I2C address of the sensor (0 => 0x68 or  1 =>0x69).

By default, the 0R resistor is set to 0 and the address 0x68 is selected.

VDIO SEL Jumper

According to the state of 0R resistance of this jumper, the logic level of digital communication (I2C or SPI) of the sensor is selected between 1V8 and 3V3.

By default, the digital communication logic level (I2C or SPI) of the sensor is selected 3V3

VDD SEL Jumper

According to the state of 0R resistance of this jumper, the main voltage of the sensor power supply is selected between 1V8 and 3V3.                                                                

IAM20380 VDD

By default, the main sensor supply voltage is 3V3.

LED power supply

According to the state of the VDD SEL jumper and applying voltage to the module by the corresponding pin, the LED of the module will be lit.

GebraBit IAM20380 Module pins

Supply pins

  • 3V3: This pin can supply the sensor’s main power supply and the logic level of the sensor’s digital connection (I2C or SPI) according to the state of the VDDSEL and VDIOSEL jumper selectors.
  • 1V8: This pin can supply the sensor’s main power supply and the logic level of the sensor’s digital communication (I2C or SPI) according to the state of the VDDSEL and VDIOSEL jumper selectors.

• GND: This is the common ground pin for power and logic level of the sensor.

IAM20380 Pinout POWER

I2C pins

By using the on-board embedded Jumper selectors, you can choose the type of module communication  . If the 0R resistors of all the Jumper Selectors are to the left side, the I2C protocol is selected. AD0 SEL jumper status is the I2C address of the sensor (0x68 or 0x69 ).

  • SDA: This pin is the I2C communication data pin, which is connected to the corresponding data pin in the microcontroller (processor). According to the state of the VDIOSEL jumper, you can use the logic level with a voltage of 1V8 or 3V3.This pin is pulled up with a 10K resistor.
  • SCL: This pin is the I2C communication clock pin, which is connected to the corresponding clock pin in the microcontroller (processor). Depending on the state of the VDIOSEL jumper, you can use the logic level with a voltage of 1V8 or 3V3. This pin is pulled up with a 10K resistor.

SPI pins

The type of connection with the module can be selected using the jumper selectors built on the board. If the 0R resistors of all the jumper selectors are to the right, the SPI protocol has been selected. The state of the AD0 SEL jumper has no effect in this case.

  • SDI (MOSI): This pin is used to send data from the microcontroller (processor) to the module (sensor). The abbreviation of this pin is derived from the Latin phrase Serial Data In / Microcontroller Out Sensor In.
  • SDO (MISO): This pin is used to send data from the module (sensor) to the microcontroller (processor). The abbreviation of this pin is derived from the Latin phrase Serial Data Out / Microcontroller In Sensor Out.
  • SCK: This pin is the clock pin for SPI communication, which is considered as an input for the sensor and is connected to the corresponding clock pin in the microcontroller (processor).
  • CS: This pin is the Chip Select pin for SPI communication with the module (sensor), which is selected by applying LOW voltage (0V), the module (sensor) for SPI communication. This pin is an input pin for the sensor.

If you want to use several GebraBit IAM20380 modules at the same time, it is enough to connect the SDO, SDI, SCK pins of all modules and the microcontroller (processor) and assign a unique pin to each CS.

Other pins

  • INT: Interrupt pin for IAM20380 sensor, according to the datasheet , the user can set the interrupt conditions, the modes and methods of the interruption, etc.
  • FSY(FSYNC): This pin is used to synchronize the sensor with an external source. For more information, read the data sheet of the sensor. By default, this pin is connected to the ground with “R3”resistor. To use Pin, “R3” resistor must be removed(disassembly) from the module.
