The ADXL213 is shipping now!

The ADXL213 is a low cost, low power, complete dual axis accelerometer with signal conditioned, duty cycle modulated outputs, all on a single monolithic IC. The ADXL213 measures acceleration with a full-scale range of ±1.2 g (typical). The ADXL213 can measure both dynamic acceleration (e.g., vibration) and static acceleration (e.g., gravity).

The outputs are digital signals whose duty cycles (ratio of pulse width to period) are proportional to acceleration (30%/g). The duty cycle outputs can be directly measured by a microcontroller without an A/D converter or glue logic.

Innovative design techniques are used to ensure high zero g bias stability (typically better than 0.25 mg/°C), as well as tight sensitivity stability (typically better than 50 ppm/°C).

The typical noise floor is 160 μg/√, allowing signals below 1 mg (0.06° of inclination) to be resolved in tilt sensing applications using narrow bandwidths (<60 Hz).

The user selects the bandwidth of the accelerometer using capacitors C_X and C_YM at the X_FILT and Y_FILT pins. Bandwidths of 0.5 Hz to 250 Hz may be selected to suit the application.

The ADXL213 is available in a 5mm x 5mm x 2mm, 8-pad hermetic LCC package.

The model number is a specific version of a generic that can be purchased or sampled.

Status indicates the current lifecycle of the product. This can be one of 4 stages:

• Pre-Release: The model has not been released to general production, but samples may be available.
• Production: The model is currently being produced, and generally available for purchase and sampling.
• Last Time Buy: The model has been scheduled for obsolescence, but may still be purchased for a limited time.
• Obsolete: The specific part is obsolete and no longer available. Other models listed in the table may still be available (if they have a status that is not obsolete).

The package for this IC (i.e. DIP, SOIC, BGA). An Evaluation Board is a board engineered to show the performance of the model, the part is included on the board.
