GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADXL345 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 is well suited for mobile device applications. 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°.
FEATURES
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
Fixed 10-bit resolution
Full resolution, where resolution increases with g range,
up to 13-bit resolution at ±16 g (maintaining 4 mg/LSB
scale factor in all g ranges)
Embedded memory management system with FIFO
technology minimizes host processor load
Single tap/double tap detection
Activity/inactivity monitoring
Free-fall detection
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
Wide temperature range (−40°C to +85°C)
10,000 g shock survival
Pb free/RoHS compliant
Small and thin: 3 mm × 5 mm × 1 mm LGA package
