Question

ASM330LHB chip shows large gyro bias jumps during temperature cycling (-40°C to 100°C)

I performed a temperature cycle check on the ASM330LHB chip. Relative to the warming process (red curve), during the cooling process (blue curve), it is prone to large zero-bias jumps (in the red box of the picture)。

 

The jump during the cooling process, I feel like there is a correction mechanism in the gyro in the chip, which recognizes a large shift in the gyro zero bias during the cooling process, and then immediately corrects the large zero bias shift.

Can you please help explain what causes this?

    Hi @dayu ,

    That's very strange. Can you give me more details about your setup and your test?

    Thanks.

    We are putting 2 IMU chips on the same PCB. The temperature is lowered from about 30°C to -40°C, then raised from -40°C to 100°C, and then lowered from 100°C to about 30°C. The temperature is lowered at a rate of 1°C/min. The temperature is raised and lowered at a rate of 1°C/min. During the cooling process, large gyro bias jumps are likely to occur.

    Hi @dayu ,

    It could be something related to the soldering process that causes some stress to the mems.

    Hi  @Federica Bossi 

    But why does this large gyro bias jump only occurs during the cooling process and not during the warm up process?

    Hi Sir/Ma'am

    Good day. I am experiencing the same problem(I raise and cool the the temperature with 1deg/min from -30 to 60 to -30deg ,the gyro bias changed during cooling @ temperature of 30deg). Did you got any solution?

    Hi @dayu ,

    I think it's chance, you might see it heating as well as cooling.

    Hi Sir/Ma'am

     My gyroscope bias also jumps have been observed at certain temperature points. Did you got any solution?
