The ADIS16204 is a Digital Output Dual-Axis Hi-G accelerometer optimized for impact/shock sensing applications, enabled by the Analog Devices iSensor™ integration. By enhancing the Analog Devices iMEMS® sensor technology with an embedded signal processing solution, the ADIS16204 provides tunable digital sensor data in a convenient format that can be accessed using a serial peripheral interface (SPI). The SPI interface provides access to measurements for dual-axis linear acceleration, RSS of both axis, peak impact, temperature, power supply, and one auxiliary analog input. Easy access to digital sensor data provides developers with a system-ready device, reducing development time, cost, and program risk.
Unique characteristics of the end system are accommodated easily through several built-in features, such as a single command in-system offset calibration, along with convenient sample rate control. The ADIS16204 also offers a comprehensive set of features which can be used to further reduce the hardware complexity of system designs. These integrated features include Configurable Trigger Levels, Peak Sample and Hold, Programmable Event Recording, Auxiliary 12-bit ADC and DAC, configurable digital I/O port, a digital self test function, and power management options.
