Overview

  • High performance dual-axis accelerometer on a single IC chip
  • 5 mm × 5 mm × 2 mm LCC package
  • 1 mg resolution at 60 Hz
  • Low power: 700 µA at VS = 5 V (typical)
  • High zero g bias stability
  • High sensitivity accuracy
  • –40°C to +125°C temperature range
  • X and Y axes aligned to within 0.1° (typical)
  • BW adjustment with a single capacitor
  • Single-supply operation
  • 3500 g shock survival
  • RoHS-compliant
  • Compatible with Sn/Pb- and Pb-free solder processes

The ADXL203 is a high precision, low power, complete dual-axis accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs, all on a single, monolithic IC. The ADXL203 measures acceleration with a full-scale range of ±1.7 g, ±5 g, or ±18 g. The ADXL203 can measure both dynamic acceleration (for example, vibration) and static acceleration (for example, gravity).

The typical noise floor is 110 μg/√Hz, 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 Capacitor CX and Capacitor CY at the XOUT and YOUT pins. Bandwidths of 0.5 Hz to 2.5 kHz can be selected to suit the application.

The ADXL203 is available in a 5 mm × 5 mm × 2 mm, 8-terminal ceramic LCC package.

Applications:

  • Platform stabilization/leveling
  • Navigation
  • Alarms and motion detectors
  • High accuracy, 2-axis tilt sensing
  • Vibration monitoring and compensation
  • Abuse event detection

Product Details

The ADXL203EB is a simple breakout board that allows quick evaluation of the performance of the ADXL203 accelerometer. The ADXL203 is a 2-axis, low-noise, temperature-stable accelerometer. The small size (1" x 1") of the ADXL203 makes it easy to mount the accelerometer to an existing system without the need for additional hardware and with minimal effect on performance of the system and of the accelerometer.

This page contains all the information related to the ADXL203EB including documentation, pricing, and ordering information.
