3-Axis, 2 g/ 4 g/ 8 g/ 16 g
Digital Accelerometer
Enhanced Product
ADXL345-EP
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Ultralow power: as low as 23 µA in measurement mode and
0.1 µA in standby mode at VS = 2.5 V (typical)
Power consumption scales automatically with bandwidth
User-selectable resolution from 10 to 13 bits
4 mg/LSB scale factor in all g ranges
32-sample FIFO minimizes host processor load
Single tap, double tap, and free-fall detection
Activity/inactivity monitoring
The ADXL345-EP is an extended performance version of
the ADXL345, which is a small, thin, ultralow power, 3-axis
accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to
16 g. Digital output data is formatted as 16-bit twos complement
and is accessible through either a SPI (3- or 4-wire) or I2C digital
interface.
The ADXL345-EP is well suited for extended temperature range
industrial and aerospace equipment. It measures the static
acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as
dynamic acceleration resulting from motion or shock. Its high
resolution (3.9 mg/LSB) enables measurement of inclination
changes less than 1.0°.
Supply voltage range: 2.0 V to 3.6 V
I/O voltage range: 1.7 V to VS
SPI (3- and 4-wire) and I2C digital interfaces
Flexible interrupt modes mappable to either interrupt pin
Measurement ranges selectable via serial command
Bandwidth selectable via serial command
10,000 g shock survival
Several special sensing functions are provided. Activity and
inactivity sensing detect the presence or lack of motion by
comparing the acceleration on any axis with user-set thresholds.
Tap sensing detects single and double taps in any direction. Free-
fall sensing detects if the device is falling. These functions can
be mapped individually to either of two interrupt output pins.
An integrated memory management system with a 32-level first in,
first out (FIFO) buffer can be used to store data to minimize host
processor activity and lower overall system power consumption.
