3-AXIS DIGITAL ACCELERATION SENSOR MODULE – MMA8452

Description

The MMA8452Q accelerometer module is a smart low-power, three-axis, capacitive MEMS accelerometer with 12 bits of resolution. It is packed with embedded functions with flexible user programmable options, configurable to two interrupt pins. Embedded interrupt functions allow for overall power savings relieving the host processor from continuously polling data. It has user selectable full scales of +-2g/+-4g/+-8g with high pass filtered data, as well as non filtered data available real-time.

This product is a replacement of: VMA208,VMA204

Features

• High Precision and User Customizability: The MMA8452Q is a 3-axis MEMS accelerometer with 12-bit resolution and adjustable sensitivity of ±2g, ±4g, or ±8g. This means users can customize accuracy to suit the specific requirements of their projects.
• Energy-Efficient and Intelligent Features: This accelerometer is designed with low power consumption and built-in features like programmable interrupt pins. This allows the host processor to work more efficiently, conserving energy during continuous data processing.
