The SparkFun ITG-3200 Breakout Board provides a compact module for InvenSense's triple-axis digital-output MEMS gyroscope. The ITG-3200 features three 16-bit analogue-to-digital converters for digitising gyro outputs, a user-selectable internal low-pass filter, and a Fast-Mode I²C (400 kHz) interface.

The sensor operates on 2.1–3.6 V with a typical current draw of just 6.5 mA. A separate VLOGIC reference pin sets the serial interface logic levels independently from the analogue supply, accepting voltages from 1.71 V up to VDD. An on-board jumper lets you select the I²C address by pulling AD0 to VCC or GND (shipped with AD0 tied to VCC).
