MMA8452Q
The MMA8452Q is a smart low-power, three-axis, capacitive micromachined
accelerometer with 12 bits of resolution. This accelerometer is packed with
embedded functions with flexible user programmable options, configurable to two
interrupt pins. Embedded interrupt functions allow for overall power savings
relieving the host processor from continuously polling data.
Top and Bottom View
The MMA8452Q has user selectable full scales of ±2g/±4g/±8g with high-pass
filter filtered data as well as non-filtered data available real-time. The device can
be configured to generate inertial wakeup interrupt signals from any combination
of the configurable embedded functions allowing the MMA8452Q to monitor
events and remain in a low power mode during periods of inactivity. The
MMA8452Q is available in a 3 mm by 3 mm by 1 mm QFN package.
