ADXL362: Micropower 3-Axis MEMS Accelerometer: Digital Output, ±2/±4/±8 g Range

The ADXL362 is an ultra-low power 3-axis MEMS accelerometer that consumes less than 2 μA at a 100 Hz output data rate, and 300 nA in motion-triggered Wake-Up Mode.

Unlike accelerometers that use power duty cycling to achieve low power consumption, the ADXL362 does not alias input signals by undersampling; it samples the sensor’s full bandwidth at all data rates.

The ADXL362 always provides 12-bit output resolution; 8-bit formatted data is also provided for more efficient single-byte transfers when a lower resolution is sufficient. Measurement ranges of ±2 g, ±4 g, and ±8 g are available, with a resolution of 1 mg/LSB on the ±2 g range. For applications where a noise level lower than the ADXL362’s normal 550 μg/7Hz is desired, either of two lower noise modes (down to 175 μg/7Hz typ) may be selected at minimal increase in supply current.

In addition to its ultra-low power consumption, the ADXL362 has many features to enable true system-level power reduction.

It includes a deep multimode output FIFO, a built-in micropower temperature sensor, and several activity detection modes including adjustable-threshold sleep and wakeup operation that can run as low as 300 nA at a 6 Hz (approximate) measurement rate. A pin output is provided to directly control an external switch when activity is detected if desired. In addition, the ADXL362 has provisions for external control of sampling time and/or an external clock.

The ADXL362 operates on a wide 1.6 V to 3.6 V supply range, and can interface, if necessary, to a host operating on a separate, lower supply voltage. The ADXL362 is available in a 3 mm × 3.25 mm × 1.06 mm package.

ADXL362評(píng)估板EVAL-ADXL362Z

The EVAL-ADXL362Z is a simple breakout board that enables easy connection of an ADXL362 micropower, 3-axis, digital-output MEMS accelerometer into an existing system. Due to its small size, the EVAL-ADXL362Z has minimal effect on performance of the system and of the accelerometer, and thus it is ideal for evaluation of the ADXL362 in an existing system. Note that the ADXL362 must be communicated with digitally via SPI. No processor is included with the EVAL-ADXL362Z; firmware must be supplied externally by the user. Some sample firmware is available at the link below:

The EVAL-ADXL362Z-MLP is a complete system for real-time evaluation of the ADXL362 micropower, 3-axis, digital-ouptut MEMS accelerometer. This system is accompanied by a graphical user interface (GUI) that facilitates evaluation of parameters such as power consumption, temperature coefficient, noise, and more. The system consists of a motherboard and a satellite board. The sensor is housed in a socket on the satellite board, enabling evaluation of multiple parts using one evaluation system.

To order the complete system, order the EVAL-ADXL362Z-MLP. This kit includes a motherboard, satellite board, accelerometer, and cables. Additional satellite board kits can be ordered using the part number EVAL-ADXL362Z-S. Satellite kit orders include a satellite board and an accelerometer.
