This full reverse costing study has been conducted to provide insight on technology data,
manufacturing cost and selling price of the ADIS16136 gyro module supplied by Analog Devices.
The ADIS16136 is a tactical grade gyro module with 450/Sec measurement range and in-run bias
stability of 4/hour.
It uses a low-cost MEMS technology based on Analog Devices iMEMS process and quad-core
designs allowing excellent vibration immunity.
In order to achieve a cost effective tactical grade module, Analog Devices uses a very smart design
integrating multiple in-house discretes gyro and integrated circuits, thus reusing components from
its portfolio.
The ADIS16136 is a 36 mm 44 mm 14 mm module targeted for applications such as platform
control, navigation, robotics, and medical instrumentation.

Reverse costing analysis represents the best cost/price evaluation given the publically available
data, and estimates completed by industry experts.
Given the hypothesis presented in this analysis, the major sources of correction would lead to a
+/- 10% correction on the manufacturing cost (if all parameters are cumulated)
These results are open for discussion. We can reevaluate this circuit with your information.
