IMU 6-DOF MPU-6500 Sensor Module

Description

MPU GY-6500 6-Axis Gyroscope and Acceleration Sensor Module This MPU GY‑6500 6‑Axis Gyroscope and Acceleration Sensor Module integrates the MPU‑6500 chip—pairing a 3‑axis MEMS gyroscope with a 3‑axis accelerometer and onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP) on a compact PCB measuring approximately 15 × 25 mm. It delivers selectable gyroscope full‑scale ranges (±250, ±500, ±1000, ±2000 °/s) and accelerometer ranges (±2g, ±4g, ±8g, ±16g), with 16‑bit ADC resolution for high accuracy motion tracking. The module supports both I²C (400 kHz) and SPI interfaces (up to 1 MHz), operates from 3.0 V to 5.0 V, and features ultra‑low noise performance with fused power‑and‑sleep‑mode current consumption as low as ~3.4 mA in active and < 10 µA in standby. Features Integrated 3‑axis gyroscope and 3‑axis accelerometer in a single MPU‑6500 chip with DMP support. Wide selectable gyroscope ranges up to ±2000 °/s. Accelerometer ranges selectable up to ±16 g. High‑resolution 16‑bit ADC for precise motion data. Both I²C (400 kHz) and SPI (up to 1 MHz) communication interfaces. On‑chip FIFO buffer (512 bytes) to reduce host bus traffic and lower power consumption. Low power: ~3.2 mA for gyroscope, ~450 µA for accelerometer; < 10 µA in sleep/standby. Compact 16 × 26 mm module footprint with standard 2.54 mm pin pitch for breadboard/PCB.
