The ADXL362 is an ultralow power, 3-axis MEMS accelerometer
that consumes less than 2 µA at a 100 Hz output data rate and
270 nA when in motion triggered wake-up mode. Unlike
accelerometers that use power duty cycling to achieve low power
consumption, the ADXL362 does not alias input signals by
undersampling; it samples the full bandwidth of the sensor at all
data rates.
The ADXL362 always provides 12-bit output resolution; 8-bit
formatted data is also provided for more efficient single-byte
transfers when a lower resolution is sufficient. Measurement
ranges of ±2 g, ±4 g, and ±8 g are available, with a resolution of
1 mg/LSB on the ±2 g range. For applications where a noise level
lower than the normal 550 µg/√Hz of the ADXL362 is desired,
either of two lower noise modes (down to 175 µg/√Hz typical)
can be selected at minimal increase in supply current.
In addition to its ultralow power consumption, the ADXL362
has many features to enable true system level power reduction.
It includes a deep multimode output FIFO, a built-in micropower
temperature sensor, and several activity detection modes including
adjustable threshold sleep and wake-up operation that can run
as low as 270 nA at a 6 Hz (approximate) measurement rate. A
pin output is provided to directly control an external switch when
activity is detected, if desired. In addition, the ADXL362 has
provisions for external control of sampling time and/or an
external clock.
The ADXL362 operates on a wide 1.6 V to 3.5 V supply range,
and can interface, if necessary, to a host operating on a separate,
lower supply voltage. The ADXL362 is available in a 3 mm ×
3.25 mm × 1.06 mm package.
