ADXL50
Key Features
- This may be used to set the zero-g level and change the output sensitivity by using external resistors
- External capacitors may be added to the resistor network to provide 1 or 2 poles of filtering
- The ADXL50 uses a capacitive measurement method
- Internal circuitry implements a forced-balance control loop that improves accuracy by pensating for any mechanical sensor variations
- Contact factory for availability of devices specified for operation over the –40°C to +105°C automotive temperature range
- Three external capacitors and a +5 volt power supply are all that is required to measure accelerations up to ± 50 g
- Device sensitivity is factory trimmed to 19 mV/g, resulting in a full-scale output swing of ± 0.95 volts for a ± 50 g applied acceleration
- Its zero g output level is +1.8 volts
