FXLS8471Q, 3-Axis,
Linear Accelerometer
FXLS8471Q
FXLS8471Q is a small, low-power, 3-axis, linear accelerometer in a
3 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm QFN package. FXLS8471Q has dynamically selectable
acceleration full-scale ranges of ±2 g/±4 g/±8 g and 14 bits of resolution.
Output data rates (ODR) are programmable from 1.563 Hz to 800 Hz. I2C and
SPI serial digital interfaces are provided along with several user
programmable event detection functions that can be used to reduce the overall
system power consumption by off-loading the host processor. FXLS8471Q is
guaranteed to operate over the extended temperature range of -40 °C to
+85 °C.
