Overview

The ADXL345BCCZ is a low-power, 3-axis MEMS accelerometer with digital output supporting both I2C and SPI interfaces. It features high resolution up to 13 bits and user-selectable measurement ranges from +/-2g to +/-16g, making it suitable for high-precision sensing in portable devices.

Why Choose This Part

The device is highly power-efficient, consuming only 23 microamps in measurement mode and as little as 0.1 microamps in standby. It includes an integrated 32-level FIFO buffer and flexible interrupt mapping, which reduces host processor overhead and system power consumption.

Applications

Mobile Device Motion Sensing
Detects tilt, orientation, and gesture inputs for smartphones and handheld electronics.
Hard Disk Drive Protection
Utilizes free-fall detection to trigger safety mechanisms and prevent data loss during drops.
Robotic Stability and Navigation
Provides accurate acceleration data for balancing algorithms and movement tracking in small robotics.
Activity Monitoring
Monitors inactivity and active movement periods in battery-powered wearable devices.

Getting Started

Evaluation can be performed using the EVAL-ADXL345Z breakout board connected to an MCU like an Arduino or STM32 via I2C or SPI. Extensive software libraries and community examples are available, and the internal FIFO should be configured early in the design to minimize I/O traffic.
