Low-profile three-axis low-g digital-output accelerometer

Available now from RS Components, the Freescale MMA7455L is a digital-output (I2C/SPI) low-power low-profile capacitive micro-machined accelerometer. The device features signal conditioning, a low pass filter, temperature compensation, self-test, configurable to detect 0g through interrupt pins (INT1 or INT2), and pulse detect for quick motion detection. The 0g offset and sensitivity are factory set and require no external devices. The 0g offset can be user calibrated using assigned 0g registers and g-Select which allows for command selection for three acceleration ranges (2g/4g/8g). The MMA7455L includes a Standby Mode that makes it ideal for handheld battery-powered electronics.
