GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADXL05 is a complete acceleration measurement system
on a single monolithic IC. The ADXL05 will measure accelera-
tions with full-scale ranges of ± 5 g to ± 1 g or less. Typical noise
configure the output buffer amplifier to set scale factors from
200 mV/g to 1 V/g. External capacitors may be added to the
resistor network to provide 1 or 2 poles of filtering. No addi-
tional active components are required to interface directly to
most analog to digital converters (ADCs).
The device features a TTL compatible self-test function that
can electrostatically deflect the sensor beam at any time to verify
that the sensor and its electronics are functioning correctly.
The ADXL05 is available in a hermetic 10-pin TO-100 metal
can, specified over the 0°C to +70°C commercial, and –40°C to
+85°C industrial temperature ranges. Contact factory for avail-
ability of automotive grade devices.
