The LIS352AX is a new small size, low-power 3- axis linear accelerometer that includes a sensing element and an IC interface capable of providing an absolute analog signal to the external world. It has a full-scale of ±2 g and is capable of measuring accelerations over a maximum bandwidth of 2.0 kHz. The self-test capability allows the user to check the functioning of the system. An embedded multiplexer allows the redirection of the analog outputs onto a single pin for operation with a single-channel A/D converter. ST is already in the field with several hundred thousand units of LIS352AX shipped for a wide range of consumer and industrial applications.
