PSI5-Compatible Satellite Sensor
Data Sheet
ADXL151
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
User configurable sensor range
The ADXL151 is a g range configurable single axis integrated
satellite sensor, compliant to the PSI5 V2.1 specification. The
ADXL151 enables low cost solutions for front and side impact
airbag satellite sensor applications. Acceleration data is sent to
the control module via a digital 2-wire current loop interface bus.
120 g, 240 g, and 480 g
PSI5 communication protocol, V2.1 compliant
Asynchronous operation—PSI5-A10P-250[228]/1L
Synchronous operation—PSI5-P10P-500/3L and others
Daisy-chain operation with bidirectional communication
Backwards compliant with PSI5 V1.3
Selectable 10- or 16-bit sensor data
High accuracy interpolation routine
User-selectable, continuous auto-zero operation
Electromechanical sensor self-test
The g range of the sensor is configurable to provide full-scale
acceleration measurements of 120 g, 240 g, or 480 g.
Additionally, the device can be configured to transmit data
from multiple g ranges during predefined time slots, in
accordance with the PSI5 specification. The device transmits
10- or 16-bit acceleration data to the control module, and can
be configured to include either a 1-bit parity check, or a 3-bit
cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The ADXL151 has a unique
electronic serial number.
High resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI)/
radio frequency interference (RFI)
4.5 V to 16.5 V operation
Electronic serial number
The ADXL151 is available in a 12-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP
package. The device is specified to operate over the full
automotive temperature range, from −40°C to +125°C.
