[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_tour][vc_tab title=”Introduction” tab_id=”1393940018-1-71″][vc_column_text]The ADXL335 is a small, thin, low power, complete 3-axis accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs. The product measures acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of ±3 g. It can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tiltsensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion, shock, or vibration.

The user selects the bandwidth of the accelerometer using the CX, CY, and CZ capacitors at the XOUT, YOUT, and ZOUT pins. Bandwidths can be selected to suit the application, with a range of 0.5 Hz to 1600 Hz for X and Y axes, and a range of 0.5 Hz to 550 Hz for the Z axis.

When there is a accelerates motion on X/Y/Z-axis, there will be a corresponding change in the value of x, y, z[/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][/vc_tour][/vc_column][/vc_row]
