About this manual

The MMA7340L is a low‑power, low‑profile capacitive micromachined 3‑axis accelerometer with selectable 3g or 12g sensitivity, sleep mode, and built‑in self‑test and free‑fall detection (Og‑Detect). It operates from 2.2 V to 3.6 V and consumes as little as 3 µA in sleep mode, making it suitable for handheld battery‑powered devices.

The document includes detailed electrical characteristics, pin descriptions, recommended PCB layout, mechanical dimensions, and typical applications such as gaming, mobile phones, laptops, and robotics. Ordering information for tape‑and‑reel and tray packages is also provided.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Og‑Detect feature do?

It provides a logic‑high signal when all three axes are at 0 g, enabling free‑fall protection.

How can the sensitivity be changed?

By applying a logic level to the g‑Select pin, the device switches between 3 g and 12 g sensitivity.

What is the current consumption in sleep mode?

The accelerometer draws about 3 µA when sleep mode is enabled.

What supply voltage range does the MMA7340L support?

It operates from 0.3 V up to 3.6 V supply voltage.
