3-Axis, 2 g/4 g/8 g/16 g Digital Accelerometer Data Sheet ADXL345 FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION Ultralow power: as low as 23 A in measurement mode and The ADXL345 is a small, thin, ultralow power, 3-axis accelerometer 0.1 A in standby mode at V = 2.5 V (typical) S with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to 16 g. Digital Power consumption scales automatically with bandwidth output data is formatted as 16-bit twos complement and is acces- 2 User-selectable resolution sible through either a SPI (3- or 4-wire) or I C digital interface. Fixed 10-bit resolution The ADXL345 is well suited for mobile device applications. It Full resolution, where resolution increases with g range, measures the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing appli- up to 13-bit resolution at 16 g (maintaining 4 mg/LSB cations, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion scale factor in all g ranges) or shock. Its high resolution (3.9 mg/LSB) enables measurement Embedded memory management system with FIFO of inclination changes less than 1.0. technology minimizes host processor load Several special sensing functions are provided. Activity and Single tap/double tap detection inactivity sensing detect the presence or lack of motion by Activity/inactivity monitoring comparing the acceleration on any axis with user-set thresholds. Free-fall detection Tap sensing detects single and double taps in any direction. Free- Supply voltage range: 2.0 V to 3.6 V fall sensing detects if the device is falling. These functions can I/O voltage range: 1.7 V to V S 2 be mapped individually to either of two interrupt output pins. SPI (3- and 4-wire) and I C digital interfaces An integrated memory management system with a 32-level first in, Flexible interrupt modes mappable to either interrupt pin first out (FIFO) buffer can be used to store data to minimize host Measurement ranges selectable via serial command processor activity and lower overall system power consumption. Bandwidth selectable via serial command Wide temperature range (40C to +85C) Low power modes enable intelligent motion-based power 10,000 g shock survival management with threshold sensing and active acceleration Pb free/RoHS compliant measurement at extremely low power dissipation.
