Small, Low Power, 3-Axis 5 g Accelerometer ADXL325 FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION 3-axis sensing The ADXL325 is a small, low power, complete 3-axis accelerometer Small, low profile package with signal conditioned voltage outputs. The product measures 4 mm 4 mm 1.45 mm LFCSP acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of 5 g. It can Low power: 350 A typical measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, Single-supply operation: 1.8 V to 3.6 V as well as dynamic acceleration, resulting from motion, shock, 10,000 g shock survival or vibration. Excellent temperature stability The user selects the bandwidth of the accelerometer using Bandwidth adjustment with a single capacitor per axis the C , C , and C capacitors at the X , Y , and Z pins. X Y Z OUT OUT OUT RoHS/WEEE lead-free compliant Bandwidths can be selected to suit the application with a range of 0.5 Hz to 1600 Hz for X and Y axes and a range of 0.5 Hz to 550 Hz for the Z axis. APPLICATIONS Cost-sensitive, low power, motion- and tilt-sensing applications The ADXL325 is available in a small, low profile, 4 mm Mobile devices 4 mm 1.45 mm, 16-lead, plastic lead frame chip scale package Gaming systems (LFCSP LQ).
