MXA6500E

The MXA6500E is a low cost; dual axis accelerometer fabricated on a standard, submicron CMOS process. It is a complete sensing system with on-chip mixed signal processing. The MXA6500E measures acceleration with a full-scale range of ±0.5 g and a sensitivity of 500mV/g @3V at 25. It can measure both dynamic acceleration (e.g. vibration) and static acceleration (e.g. gravity). The  MXA6500E design is based on heat convection and requires no solid proof mass. This eliminates stiction and particle problems associated with competitive devices and provides shock survival greater than 50,000 g, leading to significantly lower failure rate and lower loss due to handling during assembly and at customer field application.

The max noise floor is 1 mg/  allowing signals below 1 milli-g to be resolved at 1 Hz bandwidth. The MXA6500E is packaged in a hermetically sealed lowprofile LCC surface mount package (5 mm x 5 mm x 1.55 mm height). It is operational over a -40 to +85 temperature range.
