... Surface Mount Package GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADXL150 and ADXL250 are third generation 50 g sur- face micromachined accelerometers. These improved replace- ments for the ADXL50 offer lower noise, wider dynamic range, reduced power consumption and improved zero g bias drift. The ADXL150 is a single axis product; the ADXL250 is a fully ...

... INTERFACING THE ADXL150/ADXL250 SERIES ACCELEROMETERS WITH POPULAR ANALOG-TO- DIGITAL CONVERTERS. Basic Issues The ADXL150/ADXL250 Series accelerometers were designed to drive popular analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) directly. In applications where both full-scale measurement range and a 1 kHz bandwidth are needed, the V accelerometer is simply connected to the V ADC as shown in Figure 25a ...
