ADXL202/ADXL210
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ADXL202/ADXL210 are low cost, low power, complete
2-axis accelerometers with a measurement range of either
±2 g/±10 g. The ADXL202/ADXL210 can measure both dy-
namic acceleration (e.g., vibration) and static acceleration (e.g.,
gravity).
2-Axis Acceleration Sensor on a Single IC Chip
Measures Static Acceleration as Well as Dynamic
Acceleration
Duty Cycle Output with User Adjustable Period
Low Power <0.6 mA
Faster Response than Electrolytic, Mercury or Thermal
Tilt Sensors
Bandwidth Adjustment with a Single Capacitor Per Axis
5 mg Resolution at 60 Hz Bandwidth
+3 V to +5.25 V Single Supply Operation
1000 g Shock Survival
The outputs are digital signals whose duty cycles (ratio of pulse-
width to period) are proportional to the acceleration in each of
the 2 sensitive axes. These outputs may be measured directly
with a microprocessor counter, requiring no A/D converter or
glue logic. The output period is adjustable from 0.5 ms to 10 ms
via a single resistor (RSET). If a voltage output is desired, a
voltage output proportional to acceleration is available from the
XFILT and YFILT pins, or may be reconstructed by filtering the
duty cycle outputs.
APPLICATIONS
2-Axis Tilt Sensing
Computer Peripherals
Inertial Navigation
Seismic Monitoring
The bandwidth of the ADXL202/ADXL210 may be set from
0.01 Hz to 5 kHz via capacitors CX and CY. The typical noise
floor is 500 µg/√Hz allowing signals below 5 mg to be resolved
for bandwidths below 60 Hz.
Vehicle Security Systems
Battery Powered Motion Sensing
The ADXL202/ADXL210 is available in a hermetic 14-lead
Surface Mount CERPAK, specified over the 0°C to +70°C
commercial or –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
