The ADXL213AE is a high-performance, low-power, dual-axis accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs, all on a single monolithic IC. Manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., this accelerometer is designed for precision motion and tilt sensing across a wide range of applications, from vehicle dynamics to mobile device orientation.
Featuring a measurement range of ±1.2g, the ADXL213AE provides a 4-wire serial interface and can measure both dynamic acceleration (e.g., vibration) and static acceleration (e.g., gravity). The device's outputs are analog voltages that are proportional to acceleration. The scale factor is fixed at 1 V/g, and the outputs are ratiometric, which means they are proportional to the supply voltage.
One of the key advantages of the ADXL213AE is its low power consumption, drawing a mere 0.3 mA at 5 V, making it an ideal choice for battery-operated devices. Furthermore, it boasts a wide supply voltage range from 3.5 V to 6 V, offering flexibility in various power environments.
The onboard electronics eliminate the need for external signal conditioning, which simplifies design and reduces board space requirements. The ADXL213AE also features a self-test capability that allows the user to check the functioning of the sensor at any time.
For ease of use, the ADXL213AE comes in a hermetically sealed ceramic package that can be easily mounted on a printed circuit board. The package is designed to be robust, ensuring reliable operation even in harsh environments. This, combined with its small size (LCC-8 package), makes the ADXL213AE an excellent choice for space-constrained applications.
Whether it's for industrial systems, medical devices, or consumer products, the ADXL213AE from Analog Devices Inc. provides a reliable and precise solution for your acceleration sensing needs.
