High Precision, Low-g,
Digital Triaxial Accelerometer
Data Sheet
ADXL700
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
High performance, triaxial digital output accelerometer
14.2 g full-scale range at 16-bit resolution (0.434 mg/LSB)
2 kHz output sample rate with optional data FIFOs
Programmable filter response
The ADXL700 device is a high precision, triaxial accelerometer
designed for electronic stability control and other high perfor-
mance applications. A built in temperature compensation routine
ensures sensitivity stability to better than 3% across the entire
temperature range. The ADXL700 is designed with selectable
−3 dB filter corner frequencies to satisfy a range of applications,
and the 2 kHz output data rate allows sufficient oversampling of
the acceleration information.
20 Hz, 46 Hz, 92 Hz, 184 Hz
Continuous electromechanical self-test
Additional key-on and on demand self-test routines
Temperature compensated, high precision zero-g bias and
sensitivity performance
X-/Y-/Z-axis offset adjust
Low quiescent current draw
High linearity performance
−40°C to +105°C temperature range
Qualified for automotive applications
The acceleration data output from the device is a true 16-bit
word and is contained in a 32-bit SPI transaction. The SPI
interface contains additional fault detection bits and data
formatting bits designed to assist high reliability applications.
SPI communications are compatible up to 8 MHz. The 16-bit
acceleration data-word offers a resolution of 0.434 mg/LSB for
the 14.2 g full-scale range of the device.
APPLICATIONS
Vehicle dynamic control (VDC)
Electronic stability program (ESP)
Electronic chassis control
The ADXL700 is available in an SOIC package with an inverted
paddle for improved EMI/RFI robustness. The ADXL700 operates
at both 3.3 V and 5 V, and is specified to operate across the full
automotive temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.
