The ADXL335BCPZ is a small, thin, low-power, complete 3-axis accelerometer with signal-conditioned voltage outputs, all on a single monolithic IC. Manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., this high-performance product measures acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of ±3 g. It is designed to measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion, shock, or vibration.

The device comes in a compact, lead-free, 5 mm x 5 mm x 1.45 mm LFCSP package, which makes it suitable for space-sensitive projects. The ADXL335BCPZ is well-suited for applications in which low-cost, high-performance, small size, and low power are essential. It is commonly used in mobile devices, gaming systems, disk drive protection, image stabilization, and sports and health devices.

Key features of the ADXL335BCPZ include:

• 3-axis sensing with a wide range of measurements
• Low power consumption at 350 μA (typical)
• Single-supply operation: 1.8 V to 3.6 V
• 10,000 g shock survival rating
• High sensitivity (300 mV/g) and low noise
• Bandwidths adjustable via capacitors
• Analog output for each of the three axes

The ADXL335BCPZ is particularly easy to integrate into systems, as it operates from a single power supply and features a self-test function which allows the user to check the functioning of the sensor in the final application. The outputs are analog voltages that are proportional to acceleration. The user can adjust the bandwidth of the accelerometer by using capacitors at the XOUT, YOUT, and ZOUT pins. These features make the ADXL335BCPZ a versatile and straightforward solution for a wide range of applications requiring reliable and accurate motion sensing.

Whether you're designing a handheld gaming accessory, a personal navigation device, or a health monitoring system, the ADXL335BCPZ from Analog Devices Inc. offers a compelling blend of performance and convenience.
