SDI 2227 Q-LITE TACTICAL-GRADE INERTIAL MEMS DC ACCELEROMETER MODULE

With a wide thermal range, high precision, and low mass, the SDI 2227 is a tactical-grade module built for consistent, low-noise inertial performance.

Meet the SDI Model 2227: Tactical Accuracy with Industrial Durability

The SDI Model 2227 is a low-mass, low-power module designed for tactical-grade inertial and tilt applications. At its core is SDI’s high-performance Model 1527 accelerometer, known for tight bias repeatability, low noise, and long-term stability.

Engineered to replace quartz-based accelerometers without sacrificing performance, the 2227 is ideal for navigation, aerospace, defense, and advanced robotics applications requiring higher thermal tolerance and stable output.

NOTICE: Stresses greater than those listed may cause permanent damage to the device. These are maximum stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device at or above these conditions is not implied.

Operational Highlights

The model 2227 input axis is perpendicular to the PCB. The seismic center is located at the center of the PCB inside the LCC accelerometer, approximately 0.110 inches (2.75 mm) above the top of the PCB, the reference surface for the 2227.

The Model 2227 generates an output current, the value of which varies with acceleration as shown in the adjacent figure.
