3.3 V and 5 V operation
The ADXL195/ADXL295 are dual spectrum accelerometers
that measure baseband acceleration in up to two axes (XL-X
and XL-Y), as well as high frequency (HF) acceleration energy.
Identical, independent X and Y sense structures are implemented
to achieve the best possible fail-safe performance.
The XL-X and XL-Y channels output baseband acceleration
information with a nominal full-scale range of ±120 g and a
bandwidth of 408 Hz. The acceleration data is provided as a
12-bit, twos complement word with a resolution of 62.5 mg/LSB.
HF acceleration within the frequency band of 15.5 kHz to
23 kHz is rectified and filtered to generate an average g (gAVG)
energy measurement. The HF channel has a nominal full-scale
range of 40 gAVG and a bandwidth of 393 Hz. When combined
with the XL-X and XL-Y information, HF acceleration information
allows for enhanced vehicle impact detection and discrimination.
The ADXL195/ADXL295 are available in a 16-lead, narrow-body
SOIC package with an exposed pad. The ADXL195/ADXL295
can operate at 3.3 V and 5 V and are specified for operation from
−40°C to +105°C.
