Freescale MMA6280QT Dual Axis Accelerometer Datasheet

This document is the technical datasheet of MMA6280QT low cost capacitive micromachined accelerometer. The accelerometer has signal conditioning, a 1-pole low pass filter, temperature compensation and g-Select, which allows for the selection among 4 sensitivities. Zero-g offset full scale span and filter cut-off are factory set and require no external devices.

About this manual

The MMA6280QT is a dual‑axis low‑g capacitive micromachined accelerometer with selectable sensitivities of 1.5 g, 2 g, 4 g and 6 g. It features ultra‑low current consumption (500 pA typical, 3 pA in sleep mode), a built‑in low‑pass filter, temperature compensation, and a 2.2 V‑3.6 V operating range, making it suitable for handheld, battery‑powered devices.

The datasheet details electrical characteristics, pin descriptions, PCB layout recommendations, and mechanical footprints for the 16‑lead QFN package. It also includes maximum ratings, dynamic and static acceleration behavior, and recommended design guidelines for both automotive and consumer applications.

Frequently asked questions

What sensitivity options does the MMA6280QT provide?

The device offers four selectable sensitivities: 1.5 g, 2 g, 4 g, and 6 g via the g‑Select pins.

How low is the current consumption in sleep mode?

In sleep mode the accelerometer draws as little as 3 pA typical current.

What is the operating temperature range?

The MMA6280QT operates from –40 °C to +105 °C.

What is the recommended PCB footprint for the 16‑lead QFN package?

A 6 mm × 6 mm footprint with a 0.1 mm solder‑mask opening and 0.025 mm stencil reduction is recommended.
