GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADXL335 is a small, thin, low power, complete 3-axis accel-
erometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs. The product
measures acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of ±3 g.
It can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing
applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from
motion, shock, or vibration.
The user selects the bandwidth of the accelerometer using the
C
X
, C
Y
, and C
Z
capacitors at the X
OUT
, Y
OUT
, and Z
OUT
pins.
Bandwidths can be selected to suit the application, with a
range of 0.5 Hz to 1600 Hz for the X and Y axes, and a range
of 0.5 Hz to 550 Hz for the Z axis.
The ADXL335 is available in a small, low profile, 4 mm ×
4 mm × 1.45 mm, 16-lead, plastic lead frame chip scale package
(LFCSP_LQ).
