Small, Low Power,
3-Axis 16 g Accelerometer
Data Sheet
ADXL316
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3-axis sensing with 16 g minimum measurement range
Small, low profile package
12-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm × 1.45 mm LFCSP
Low quiescent supply current: 350 µA typical
Single-supply operation: 1.8 V to 3.6 V
10,000 g shock survival
The ADXL316 is a small, thin, low power, complete 3-axis
accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs, all on a
single monolithic IC. The product measures acceleration with a
minimum measurement range of 16 g. It can measure the
static acceleration of gravity in tilt sensing applications, as well
as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion, shock, or
vibration.
Excellent temperature stability
Bandwidth (BW) adjustment with a single capacitor per axis
RoHS/WEEE lead-free compliant
−40°C to +105°C operating temperature range
Qualified for automotive applications
The user selects the bandwidth of the accelerometer using
the CX, CY, and CZ capacitors at the XOUT, YOUT, and ZOUT pins.
Bandwidths can be selected to suit the application, with a
range of 0.5 Hz to 1600 Hz for the x and y axes, and a range
of 0.5 Hz to 550 Hz for the z axis.
APPLICATIONS
Cost-sensitive, low power, motion and tilt sensing
applications
The ADXL316 is available in a small, low profile, 4 mm × 4 mm ×
1.45 mm, 12-lead, plastic lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP).
