ADXL326BCPZ Accelerometer: Datasheet, Pinout, Footprint

Product Overview

The ADXL326 is a small, low power, complete 3-axis accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs. The product measures acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of ±16 g. It can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tiltsensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration, resulting from motion, shock, or vibration.

ADXL326BCPZ FAQ

What are accelerometers used for?

Accelerometers are sensing devices that measure a moving object's acceleration and can detect frequency and intensity of human movement.

 

What are examples of accelerometers?

For example, accelerometers in laptops protect hard drives from damage. In another example, a dynamic accelerometer measures gravitational pull to determine the angle at which a device is tilted with respect to the Earth. By sensing the amount of acceleration, users analyze how the device is moving.

 

Do accelerometers sense gravity?

Since the accelerometer does not respond to gravitational acceleration, it never detects gravity directly. Since it detects deviation from freefall, its reading can sometimes be used to infer the properties of local gravity if we utilize other knowledge of the situation that we may have.

 

How do accelerometers work?

An accelerometer is a device that measures the vibration, or acceleration of motion of a structure. The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the mass to "squeeze" the piezoelectric material which produces an electrical charge that is proportional to the force exerted upon it.

 

Where should accelerometer be placed?

Accelerometers should be mounted onto a surface that is free from oil and grease as close as possible to the source of vibration. The surface should be smooth, unpainted, flat and larger than the base of the accelerometer itself.
