GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EVA L-ADXL1001Z and EVA L-ADXL1002Z are simple
evaluation boards that allow users to quickly evaluate the
performance of the ADXL1001 and ADXL1002 vibration
sensors. The E VA L-ADXL1001Z and EVA L-ADXL1002Z are
specifically designed to mount onto a mechanical shaker and are
constructed of an extra thick printed circuit board (PCB),
measuring 0.8 inches square. Screw holes are supplied for rigid
mounting to the shaker block. This design allows users to
evaluate the full performance range of the ADXL1001 or
ADXL1002 vibration sensor without having to solder the device
to a separate test board. A simple RC low-pass filter is provided
at the output with a −3 dB bandwidth of about 20 kHz.
Components can be replaced to allow users to implement their
own application specific low-pass filter on the output of the
device.
Full details on the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)
ADXL1001/ADXL1002 accelerometers are provided in the
ADXL1001/ADXL1002 data sheet, available from Analog
Devices, Inc., which must be consulted in conjunction with this
evaluation board user guide.
