Analog Devices ADXL327 Accelerometer Datasheet

The ADXL327 is a small, low power, complete 3-axis accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs. The product measures acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of ±2 g. It can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration, resulting from motion.

About this manual

The ADXL327 is a small, low‑power, three‑axis accelerometer with signal‑conditioned voltage outputs. It offers a measurement range of ±2 g, operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V, and consumes about 350 µA typical current. Bandwidth for the X and Y axes can be set up to 1.6 kHz, and up to 550 Hz for the Z axis by adding external capacitors.

The datasheet includes detailed specifications, absolute maximum ratings, pin descriptions, typical performance curves, mechanical sensor details, layout recommendations, and ordering information. It also contains safety notices and application guidance for mobile devices, gaming systems, and other motion‑sensing uses.

Frequently asked questions

How can the bandwidth of the ADXL327 be set?

Bandwidth is set by adding external capacitors C_X, C_Y, and C_Z to the X, Y, and Z output pins; the values determine the cutoff frequency.

What is the maximum shock rating for the ADXL327?

The device can survive shocks up to 10,000 g on any axis.

What are the physical dimensions of the ADXL327 package?

The ADXL327 is packaged in a 4 mm × 4 mm × 1.45 mm LFCSP.
