Sensors
MMA7660FC
Three-axis low g digital acceleration sensor
Smart Motion with Power Select
Freescale Semiconductor’s MMA7660FC is a
three-axis low g I2C digital capacitive acceleration
sensor with extremely low power at 47 uA at
one sample per second—contained in a small,
low-profile 3 x 3 x 0.9 mm DFN package. The
MMA7660FC accelerometer integrates intelligent
features with reduced power consumption to
address portable consumer devices.

Control Logic
The device provides conversion to digital values
at a user-configurable output data rate, offering
proportional savings in supply current and power.
The MMA7660FC accelerometer can be used for
sensor data changes, product orientation and
gesture detection through an interrupt pin (INT).
By providing I2C, the MMA7660FC directly
interfaces to the main system processor for
communication flexibility.
Target Applications
Clock
GEN
Orientation Detection
Tap Detection
Shake Detection
Portrait/landscape orientation detection
for applications such as mobile phones,
PDAs and portable media players. The
six different orientation positions include
left, right, up, down, back and front.
The orientation is determined in three
dimensions whenever the device position
becomes static via filtering and optional
debouncing. This enables selection of
portrait or landscape display modes and
facilitates switching off the display for
power saving if the product is placed
face-down.
Tap detection can be used for a
number of different applications
such as button replacement on
mobile phones, PDAs and portable
media players. For example, when
using a media player, a single tap
can stop a song from playing and a
double tap can play a song. This
function detects fast transitioning
pulses determined by tunable
thresholds and durations.
The shake feature performs
functions such as scrolling
through images or Web pages
on mobile phones, PDAs and
portable media players. The
shake interrupt can be enabled
on any of the three axes.
