Micropower, 3-Axis, ±200 g Digital Output, MEMS

ADXL372 - Analog Devices Inc. (ADI)

The ADXL372 is an ultralow power, 3-axis, ±200 g MEMS accelerometer that consumes 22 μA at a 3200 Hz output data rate (ODR). The ADXL372 does not power cycle its front end to achieve its low power operation and therefore does not run the risk of aliasing the output of the sensor. In addition to its ultralow power consumption, the ADXL372 has many features to enable impact detection while providing system level power reduction. The device includes a deep multimode output first in, first out (FIFO), several activity detection modes, and a method for capturing only the peak acceleration of over threshold events. Applications: Impact and shock detection. Asset health assessment. Portable Internet of Things (IoT) edge nodes. Concussion and head trauma detection.
