The ADXL001 is a major advance over previous generations of accelerometers providing high performance and wide bandwidth. It offers ±70g, ±250g, and ±500g wideband ranges, 22 kHz resonant frequency structure, high linearity (0.2% full scale), low noise (4 mg/√Hz), sensitive axis in the plane of the chip, frequency response down to dc, full differential signal processing, high resistance to EMI/RFI, complete electromechanical self-test, output ratiometric to supply, velocity preservation during acceleration input overload, and low power consumption (typical 2.5 mA). Applications include vibration monitoring, shock detection, sports diagnostic equipment, medical instrumentation, and industrial monitoring.
The ADXL001 accelerometer provides high performance with selectable full‑scale ranges of ±70 g, ±250 g, or ±500 g, a 22 kHz resonant frequency, and low noise (4 mg/V·Hz). It is suited for vibration monitoring, shock detection, sports diagnostics, medical instrumentation, and industrial monitoring.
The device operates from 3.3 V to 5 V (functional range 3.135 V‑6 V), consumes as little as 2.5 mA, and works over an extended temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C. Electrical specifications include typical sensitivity of 16 mV/g at 100 Hz, noise of 85 mg rms (10‑400 Hz), and a self‑test pin for full‑chain verification.
