The ADXL210AQC-1 is a precision, low-power, complete dual-axis accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs, all on a single monolithic IC. Manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., this accelerometer is designed for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to vehicle dynamics, mobile devices, gaming systems, and instrumentation.
Key Features
- Measurement Range: The device is capable of measuring ±10 g with a full-scale range and sensitivity of 20 mg/LSB (least significant bit), allowing for the detection of minute changes in acceleration.
- Digital Output: It features a 4-wire serial SPI interface, enabling easy connection to microcontrollers and other digital systems.
- Bandwidth Selection: Users can select the bandwidth of the accelerometer using capacitors, which provides a range of filtering options to match the requirements of various applications.
- Self-Test Functionality: The ADXL210AQC-1 includes a self-test feature that forces the sensor to exhibit a known acceleration, thereby allowing users to verify the functioning of the entire system.
- Low Power Consumption: Operating on a supply voltage range of 3.0V to 5.25V, the device is optimized for low power consumption, drawing a mere 0.7 mA at 5 V, making it ideal for battery-powered applications.
