MC3216 3-Axis Accelerometer GENERAL DESCRIPTION FEATURES Range, Sampling & Power The MC3216 is a low-noise, integrated digital output 3-axis accelerometer with a 2,4,8,12 or 16g ranges feature set optimized for cell phones and 8, 10 or 14-bit resolution consumer product motion sensing. 0.25 - 256 samples/sec Applications include user interface control, 50 - 130 A typical current gaming motion input, electronic compass tilt compensation for cell phones, game Event Detection controllers, remote controls and portable Low-noise architecture minimizes media products. false triggering Independent X, Y, Z Tap Low noise and low power are inherent in Simple System Integration the monolithic fabrication approach, where the MEMS accelerometer is integrated in a I2C interface, up to 400 kHz single-chip with the electronics integrated 3 3 0.92 mm 10-pin package o Pin-compatible to Freescale circuit. MMA7660 Single-chip 3D silicon MEMS <200g / Hz noise In the MC3216 the internal sample rate can be set from 0.25 to 256 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.
