MEMS accelerometer offers 'highest' bandwidth

A three axis, 200g MEMS accelerometer with the highest bandwidth and lowest power in its class has been touted by Analog Devices.

The ADXL375 continuously measures the duration and magnitude of impact or shock events within the full scale range of ±200g without saturation.

It is said to deliver more than twice the bandwidth at less than half the power consumption of competing sensors.

The ADXL375 consumes 140µA at a full bandwidth of up to 1,600Hz. It is targeted at low and battery powered wireless sensor networks used in concussion detection, transportation, asset tracking and other applications that are subject to sudden, high magnitude forces.
