Crista Inertial Sensors

The Crista inertial sensors

are small 3-axis devices that provide calibrated rate and acceleration data using the latest MEMS technology. Developed in support of the Piccolo autopilot and TASE gimbal inertial data requirements, the CCT family of inertial sensors have been provided as stand alone products for customers requiring calibrated, MEMS grade assemblies for incorporation into their system designs.

Key FeaturesApplicationsDeveloper's KitDownloadsProduct Updates

Small form factors to fit easily into customer applications.
Inexpensive. Uses available automotive grade MEMS sensors.
Used in other CCT products – 1000s made. Tried and tested solution.

Provides raw rate and acceleration data to support customer algorithms.
Calibration of gain, temperature bias, acceleration affects, and alignment.
Software driver support and integration documentation provided as with other CCT products.
