Description:

• NXP (previously Freescale) offers the MMA7361LCT, a flexible low-g three-axis accelerometer.
• It's intended for motion sensing and detecting applications in a variety of sectors, providing precise and dependable performance.
• Functionality: The MMA7361LCT monitors acceleration in three axes (X, Y, and Z) and produces linear output signals proportionate to the acceleration in each direction. It can detect both dynamic (vibration, shock) and static acceleration (gravity).
• The accelerometer is packaged in a compact 14-pin LGA (3mm x 5mm x 1.0mm) box, making it simple to integrate into small and space-constrained devices.
• Its configurable sensitivity ranges of ±1.5g and ±6g allow for accurate measurements for a variety of application requirements. The output sensitivity is 800 mV/g at the 1.5g setting.
• Low Power Consumption: With a current consumption of only 400 μA, it is ideal for battery driven applications. It has a sleep mode that limits current usage to 3 μA.
• The MMA7361LCT operates within a voltage range of 2.2V to 3.6V and is compatible with a variety of power supply.
• Performance:
• Turn-On Time: 0.5 ms, ensuring a speedy reaction after activation.
• Shock Survivability: Can withstand up to ±5000g, ensuring longevity in difficult conditions.
• Operating temperature range: Reliable operation from -40°C to +85°C, making it suited for both commercial and industrial applications.
• Advanced features:
• Signal Conditioning: A low-pass filter improves signal integrity by minimizing noise and high-frequency interference.
• Temperature compensation ensures constant performance over the operating temperature range.
• Self-Test functioning: Verifies the accelerometer's functioning, guaranteeing that it operates reliably.
• Zero-g Detection: Detects linear freefall, which is useful for hard disk protection and other applications that require drop detection.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental laws and contains no dangerous chemicals.
