MC3410 3-Axis Accelerometer
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
Range & Sampling
Datasheet
The MC3410 is a low-noise, integrated
digital output 3-axis accelerometer with a
feature set optimized for cell phones and
consumer product motion sensing.
Applications include user interface control,
gaming motion input, electronic compass tilt
compensation for cell phones, game
controllers, remote controls and portable
media products.
± 2g / ± 4g / ± 8g ranges
10-bit or 14-bit resolution
1024 samples/sec
Programmable low pass filter
‒
From 8 to 512 Hz bandwidth
Event Detection
Accurate event detection is enabled with a
low noise architecture that minimizes false
triggering found in competing devices. Low
noise and low power are inherent in the
monolithic fabrication approach, where the
MEMS accelerometer is integrated in a
single-chip with the electronics integrated
circuit.
Low-noise architecture minimizes
false triggering
Tap, Shake, Drop
Portrait or landscape orientation with
programmable hysteresis
Tilt detection in six orientations
Simple System Integration
I2C interface, up to 400 kHz
2 × 2 × 0.92 mm 12-pin package
‒
Pin-compatible to Bosch BMA2xx
Single-chip 3D silicon MEMS
100µg / √Hz noise
In the MC3410 the internal sample rate is
fixed at 1024 samples / second. Specific
orientation and gesture conditions can
trigger an interrupt to a remote MCU.
Alternatively, the device supports the
reading of sample and event status via
polling.
