ADXL366 3-Axis MEMS Accelerometer:
Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now shipping the new ADXL366 3-axis digital output microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometer from Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI). The ADXL366 is an ultra-low-power sensor for smart home, consumer, medical, and motion-enabled sensing applications.
The ADI ADXL366 3-axis MEMS accelerometer, available from Mouser, integrates full-bandwidth sampling at all data rates, thereby avoiding signal aliasing and enabling true system-level power savings. Unlike accelerometers that rely on power duty cycling and undersampling to reduce power consumption, the ADXL366 delivers 14-bit output resolution with optional 8-bit and 12-bit formats for efficient data handling and compatibility with ADXL362 designs. It includes a configurable step counter, a deep multimode first-in/first-out (FIFO), a micropower temperature sensor, and an internal analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for synchronized analog input conversion with interrupt capability (which consumes just 0.96µA at a 100Hz output data rate (ODR), and 191nA when in motion-triggered wake-up mode.
The ADXL366 supports selectable measurement ranges of ±2g, ±4g, and ±8g, offering a fine resolution of 0.25 mg/LSB in the ±2g range. Single- and double-tap detection operate at any output data rate with 35nA of added current, supported by a state machine to reduce false triggers. The device also supports external control of sampling time and clock input. Operating from a wide 1.1V to 3.6V supply, this accelerometer can interface with hosts on separate voltages. Housed in a compact 2.2 × 2.3 × 0.87 mm³, 12-terminal LGA package, the ADXL366 is pin-compatible with ADI’s ADXL367 sensor, enabling easy upgrades.
Designers can evaluate the performance of the ADXL366 MEMS accelerometer using the EVAL-ADXL366Z breakout board, along with the EVAL-XLMOUNT1 mounting block, both of which are also available from Mouser.
