What is an accelerometer? |
This product is currently out of stock. For an accelerometer with the same featureset, please see the DE-ACCM3D. |
Product Description
The DE-ACCM3D2 is the most advanced analog accelerometer
solution to date, featuring a triple axis ±2g
accelerometer chip. It also has integrated op amp buffers for
direct connection to a microcontroller's analog inputs, or for driving
heavier loads.
The ACCM3D2 has an onboard 3.3V LDO regulator, allowing you to power the board with 3.5V to 15V sources. You can also use this regulator to power an external microcontroller with up to 50mA. For operation as low as 2.4V, you can bypass the voltage regulator and choose your own operating voltage.
It is designed to fit in the DIP-16 form factor,
making the DE-ACCM3D suitable for breadboarding, perfboarding, and
insertion into standard chip sockets. To keep things as simple as
possible, there are only 5 pins - two for power, and three for the X, Y
and Z analog outputs.
Additional circuitry ensures that the product won't be damaged by
reversed power connections.
Don't need a Z axis? Try the 6g ACCM or the 2g ACCM.
