GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADXL316 is a small, thin, low power, complete 3-axis
accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs. The
product measures acceleration with a minimum measurement
range of ±16 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 ADXL316 is available in a small, low profile, 4 mm × 4 mm ×
1.45 mm, 12-lead, plastic lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP).

Sensitivity is essentially ratiometric to V
S
. Calculate sensitivity by using a scale factor (mV/V/g). Sensitivity = Scale Factor × V
S
. To calculate minimum and maximum
sensitivity, the scale factors are 15 mV/V/g and 23 mV/V/g, respectively.

This parameter is defined as the output change from ambient to maximum temperature or ambient to minimum temperature.

Bandwidth = 1/(2 × π × 32 kΩ × C). For C
X
, C

= 0.003 µF, the bandwidth = 1.6 kHz. For C
Z
= 0.01 µF, the bandwidth = 500 Hz. For C

= 10 µF, the bandwidth = 0.5 Hz.
