ADXL345 IIC / SPI Digital Tilt Sensor Accelerometer

The ADXL345 IIC / SPI Digital Tilt Sensor Accelerometer is a small, thin, low power, 3-axis MEMS accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to +-16 g. Digital output data is formatted as 16-bit too complement and is accessible through either a SPI (3- or 4-wire) or I2C digital interface.

The ADXL345 IIC / SPI Digital Tilt Sensor Accelerometer is well suited to measures the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion or shock. Its high resolution (4 mg/LSB) enables measurement of inclination changes less than 1.0 degrees;.

Several special sensing functions are provided. Activity and inactivity sensing detect the presence or lack of motion and if the acceleration on any axis exceeds a user-set level. Tap sensing detects single and double taps. Free-fall sensing detects if the device is falling. These functions can be mapped to one of two interrupt output pins. An integrated, patent pending 32-level first in, first out (FIFO) buffer can be used to store data to minimize host processor intervention. Low power modes enable intelligent motion-based power management with threshold sensing and active acceleration measurement at extremely low power dissipation.

Based on the ADXL-345, this digital 3-axis accelerometer has excellent EMI protection. Its variable output makes it suitable for a wide range of applications:

• HDD shock protection
• Vibration sensor
• Game controller input
• Robotics
• Smart vehicles
