Small, Low Power, 2-Axis ±3 MEMS® Accelerometer

The ADXL323 is a small, thin, low power, complete 2-axis accelerometer with signal-conditioned voltage outputs, all on a single, monolithic IC. The product measures acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of ±3 g. It can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion, shock, or vibration.

The user selects the bandwidth of the accelerometer using the CX and CY capacitors at the XOUT and YOUT pins. Bandwidths can be selected to suit the application, with a range of 0.5 Hz to 1600 Hz.

The ADXL323 is available in a small, low profile, 4 mm × 4 mm × 1.45 mm, 16-lead, plastic lead frame chip scale package (LFCSPLQ)
