About this manual

The ADXL335 accelerometer from Analog Devices provides three‑axis acceleration measurement with a full‑scale range of ±3 g. It is offered in a compact 4 mm × 4 mm × 1.45 mm LFCSP package and operates from a single 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply while consuming only 350 µA typical current.

Bandwidth for each axis is set by external capacitors (C_X, C_Y, C_Z), allowing 0.5 Hz‑1.6 kHz for X/Y and 0.5 Hz‑550 Hz for Z. The device delivers ratiometric voltage outputs, low noise (150 µg/√Hz X/Y, 300 µg/√Hz Z), and robust temperature stability, making it suitable for mobile, gaming, disk‑drive protection, image‑stabilization, and health‑monitoring applications.
