Kit Overview

The EVAL-ADXL327ZEVAL-ADXL327Z is a simple evaluation board that allows quick evaluation of the performance of the ADXL327ADXL327 three-axis accelerometer.

The EVAL-ADXL327ZEVAL-ADXL327Z has a 6-pin, 0.1 inch spaced header for access to all power and signal lines that the user can attach to a prototyping board (breadboard) or wire using a standard plug. Four holes are provided for mechanical attachment of the EVAL-ADXL327Z to the ADXL327ADXL327. The dimensions of the EVAL-ADXL327Z are 20 mm × 20 mm with mounting holes set 15 mm × 15 mm at the corners of the printed circuit board (PCB).

The ADXL327ADXL327 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 ±2 g. It can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing 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 X_OUT, Y_OUT, and Z_OUT 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.

The ADXL327ADXL327 is available in a small, low profile, 4 mm × 4 mm × 1.45 mm, 16-lead, plastic lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP_LQ).

Note: The EVAL-ADXL327ZEVAL-ADXL327Z is not reverse polarity protected. Reversing the +V supply and ground pins can cause damage to the ADXL327ADXL327.Dropping the EVAL-ADXL327Z on a hard surface can generate acceleration greater than 1000 g, which may exceed the data sheet absolute maximum limits.

Key Applications: Mobile devices, Gaming systems, Disk drive protection, Image stabilization, Sports and health devices.
