MC3610 3-Axis Accelerometer
Preliminary Datasheet
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
Range, Sampling & Power
The MC3610 is an ultra-low power, low-
noise, integrated digital output 3-axis
accelerometer with a feature set optimized
for wearables and consumer product
motion sensing. Applications include
wearable consumer products, IoT devices,
user interface control, gaming motion input,
electronic compass tilt compensation for
cell phones, game controllers, remote
controls and portable media products.
±2,4,8,12 or 16g ranges
8, 10 or 12-bit resolution with FIFO
o
14-bit single samples
0.4 - 400 samples/sec
Ultra-Low Power with FIFO
o
0.6 μA typical sniff current
o
1.3 μA typical current @ 25Hz
o
4.7 μA typical current @ 50Hz
o
14 μA @ 50Hz, low noise
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.
Simple System Integration
I2C interface, up to 400 kHz
SPI Interface, up to 2 MHz
2 × 2 × 0.94 mm 12-pin package
Single-chip 3D silicon MEMS
Low noise down to 280 µg / √Hz
In the MC3610 the internal sample rate can
be set from 0.4 to 400 samples / second.
Specific tap or sample acquisition
conditions can trigger an interrupt to a
remote MCU. Alternatively, the device
supports the reading of sample and event
status via polling.
