Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global leader in high-performance
semiconductors for signal processing applications, introduced today
the industry’s first MEMS accelerometer with Min/Max offset
sensitivity over the full temperature range. The ADXL350 3-axis
MEMS accelerometer has maximum offset temperature sensitivity of
±0.31 mg/°C on the X/Y axes and ±0.49 mg/°C on the Z axis,
guaranteeing predictable and quantifiable performance across the
full temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. MEMS accelerometers on
the market today specify only typical offset sensitivity to
temperature, requiring calibration over temperature to maintain
accurate sensor readings. The ADXL350 Min/Max offset sensitivity to
temperature specifications guarantee known, quantifiable offset
sensor measurements even in applications that are subjected to a
wide temperature range. Additionally, the ADXL350 offers low noise
density enabling designers to obtain valid measurements from
applications with a low noise floor.
The ADXL350 offers on-board analog to digital conversion with
13-bit resolution, as low as 2 mg/LSB, and is configurable to
±1g/2g/4g/8g range settings. The ADXL350 is available in a small
footprint 3-mm x 4-mm x 1.2-mm, 16-lead, plastic-cavity laminate
package. The ADXL350 is well suited for high-performance
applications in industrial and defense industries such as gas/water
meters, environmental monitors and military communications
radios.
