GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADcmXL3021 is a complete vibration sensing system that
combines high performance vibration sensing (using micro-
electromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers) with a
variety of signal processing functions to simplify the development
of smart sensor nodes in condition-based monitoring (CBM)
systems. The typical ultralow noise density (26 μg/√Hz) in the
MEMS accelerometers supports excellent resolution. The wide
bandwidth (dc to 10 kHz within 3 dB flatness) enables tracking
of key vibration signatures on many machine platforms.
Configurable alarm monitoring
Real-time data streaming: 220 kSPS on each axis
Burst mode communication with CRC-16 error checking
Storage: 10 data records for each axis
On demand self test with status flags
The signal processing includes high speed data sampling
(220 kSPS), 4096 time sample record lengths, filtering,
windowing, fast Fourier transform (FFT), user configurable
spectral or time statistic alarms, and error flags. The serial
peripheral interface (SPI) provides access to a register structure
that contains the vibration data and a wide range of user
configurable functions.
Sleep mode with external and timer driven wakeup
Digital temperature and power supply measurements
SPI-compatible serial interface
Identification registers: factory preprogrammed serial
number, device ID, user programmable ID
Single-supply operation: 3.0 V to 3.6 V
Operating temperature range: −40°C to +10±°C
Automatic shutdown at 12±°C (junction temperature)
23.7 mm × 27.0 mm × 12.4 mm aluminum package
36 mm flexible, 14-pin connector interface
Mass: 13 g
The ADcmXL3021 is available in a 23.7 mm × 27.0 mm × 12.4 mm
aluminum package with four mounting flanges to support
installation with standard machine screws. This package provides
consistent mechanical coupling to the core sensors over a broad
frequency range. The electrical interface is through a 14-pin
connector on a 36 mm flexible cable, which enables a wide
range of location and orientation options for system mating
connectors.
APPLICATIONS
Vibration analysis
CBM systems
Machine health
Instrumentation and diagnostics
Safety shutoff sensing
The ADcmXL3021 requires only a single, 3.3 V power supply and
supports an operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.
