MEMS Accelerometer from Analog Devices

The 3 by 4 by 1.2 mm ADXL350 from Analog Devices Inc., Norwood, MA, is a 3-axis MEMS accelerometer with min./max. offset temperature sensitivity for use in high-performance industrial and defense industries. Features include configurable ±1 g, ±2 g, ±4 g, or ±8 g measurement ranges; onboard A/D conversion with 13-bit resolution; 2 mg/LSB resolution; max. offset temperature sensitivity of ±0.31 mg/°C on the X and Y axes and ±0.49 mg/°C on the Z axis for predictable, quantifiable performance over the full –40°C to 85°C temperature range; and low-power modes for motion-based power management. Applications include gas/water meters, environmental monitors, and military communications radios.
