ADXL202AQC-1 Accelerometer by Analog Devices Inc.

The ADXL202AQC-1 is a state-of-the-art accelerometer designed and manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., a leader in high-performance semiconductors. This compact, low-power component is perfect for applications requiring motion or tilt sensing over a ±2 g dual-axis range with a 1 mg resolution at 60 Hz.

Featuring a complete 2-axis acceleration measurement solution, the ADXL202AQC-1 incorporates a polysilicon surface-micromachined sensor and signal conditioning circuitry to accurately measure acceleration. The output is a fully duty-cycle modulated (DCM) signal that is proportional to the acceleration. The duty cycle can be directly measured by a microprocessor's I/O pin without the need for additional analog-to-digital converters.

One of the key features of this accelerometer is its low power consumption, drawing a mere 700 µA at a 5V supply voltage, which makes it ideal for battery-powered applications. Additionally, the ADXL202AQC-1 can operate over a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance in diverse environments.

The device also includes a self-test feature that verifies the functionality of the sensor, providing an added layer of reliability. The ADXL202AQC-1 comes in a hermetically sealed 14-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CERDIP), ensuring robustness and longevity in harsh conditions.

Applications for the ADXL202AQC-1 are vast and include vehicle dynamic controls, tilt-sensing in handheld devices, robotics, platform stabilization, and vibration analysis. The versatility of this accelerometer allows it to be integrated into a range of industrial and consumer products, offering precise motion analysis and control.

With its easy interface, low power requirements, and high accuracy, the ADXL202AQC-1 from Analog Devices Inc. is an excellent choice for designers and engineers seeking a reliable and efficient solution for their acceleration sensing needs.
