ADXL335 – Triple Axis Linear Accelerometer

ADXL335 is a Breakout board based on 3 axis ADXL335 IC from Analog Devices. The Accelerometer Module require no external devices and works on 5V power supply. It can be directly interfaced to ADC of a micro controller without any external components.

This module can be used to sense motion or tilt(in case of non moving) in 3 axis.This is the latest in a long, proven line of Analog Sensors- the holy grail of accelerometers. The ADXL335 is a triple axis MEMS accelerometer with extremely low noise and power consumption – only 320uA! The sensor has a full sensing range of +/-3g The burst echo to return to the sensor. By measuring the echo pulse width, the distance to target can easily be calculated.

Features of  ADXL335:

• 3-axis sensing.
• Small, low profile package.
• 4 mm × 4 mm × 1.45 mm LFCSP.
• Low power : 350 μA (typical).
• Single-supply operation: 1.8 V to 3.6 V.
• 10,000 g shock survival.
• Excellent temperature stability.
• BW adjustment with a single capacitor per axis.
• RoHS/WEEE lead-free compliant.

Applications of ADXL335:

• Cost sensitive, low power, motion- and tilt-sensing applications.
• Mobile devices.
• Gaming systems.
• DIY projects requiring orientation information.
