Overview

The ADXL362BCCZ is an ultra-low-power three-axis digital accelerometer from Analog Devices designed for always-on, battery-powered motion detection. It supports selectable measurement ranges of +/-2g, +/-4g, and +/-8g, communicates over SPI, and operates from 1.6 V to 3.5 V. The device includes a low-power sleep mode and an on-chip temperature sensor for system monitoring.

Why Choose This Part

Choose the ADXL362 when your design requires extremely low standby current and reliable motion detection with minimal wake-ups. Its wide supply range (1.6 V to 3.5 V) and SPI interface make it easy to integrate with low-voltage microcontrollers. Built-in sleep modes and an on-chip temperature sensor simplify power-managed designs and system health monitoring.

Applications

Wearables and fitness trackers
Always-on step counting, activity recognition, and motion-triggered data logging while maximizing battery life.
Battery-powered IoT sensors
Wake-on-motion and tamper detection for remote sensors and asset trackers where long standby time is required.
Condition monitoring and vibration sensing
Low-power vibration detection in industrial or building-monitoring nodes that need occasional sampling or event detection.
Consumer electronics power management
Screen rotation, free-fall detection, and low-power device wake/sleep control in phones, remotes, and wearables.

Getting Started

Read the ADXL362 datasheet and register map from Analog Devices to understand power modes, FIFO and interrupt options. Use an SPI-capable microcontroller (1.8 V or 3.3 V logic) and verify voltage compatibility or add level translation if needed. Evaluation boards and third-party breakout boards for the ADXL362 are available to speed prototyping; start by toggling measurement modes and configuring motion interrupts to validate power behavior.
