Analog Devices, Inc. has added the ADXL330 three-axis accelerometer to its iMEMS family of motion devices featuring a power consumption of only 200 microamps at 2.0 V.
Designed for handheld and embedded consumer electronics and mobile phone handsets, the ADXL330’s 3-axis sensor structure is integrated with
signal conditioning circuitry on the same die and housed in a small (4
mm x 4 mm x 1.45 mm) plastic surface mount package.
According to Bill Giudice, vice president and general manager, Micromachined Products Division, Analog Devices, Inc., the device has a +/-2 g range and is capable of measuring the static acceleration of gravity for tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion, shock, or vibration.
Supply voltage range is 2.0 V to 3.6 V. The ADXL330 is compatible with applications requiring bandwidths ranging from 0.5Hz to 1.6 kHz. It is
offered in a 4 mm x 4 mm x 1.45 mm, 16-lead, plastic lead frame chip scale package, with a shock rating of 10,000 g.
ADXL330 samples are currently available, with volume production in Q1 2006. OEM pricing is below $2.00 for high volume consumer applications.
