CMA3000 Series, Accelerometers

Accelerometers are specialized sensors that are engineered to detect and react to variations in acceleration, such as movements or vibrations. They come in a variety of types, including analog and digital versions, and are capable of sensing acceleration along the X, Y, or Z axis. The range of detectable acceleration typically spans from ±0.5 g to ±2000 g, with sensitivities ranging from 1 to 500 k (LSB/g). The output types for accelerometers are diverse and can include analog voltage, Bluetooth, digital, DSI (Display Serial Interface), IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric), I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit), PCM (Pulse Code Modulation), PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), RF (Radio Frequency), and SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface). This wide array of output options enables the integration of accelerometers into various systems and facilitates communication with different types of devices and interfaces. In summary, accelerometers are specialized sensors designed to detect and respond to changes in acceleration, such as movements or vibrations. They come in analog and digital types, with the ability to sense acceleration along the X, Y, or Z axis. The range of detectable acceleration and sensitivity varies, and accelerometers can output data in a variety of formats, including analog voltage, Bluetooth, digital, DSI, IEPE, I2C, PCM, PWM, RF, and SPI, enabling their integration into a wide range of applications and systems.
