The ADXL345 series 3-axis Digital Accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to ±16g. Digital output data is formatted as 16-bit twos complement and is accessible through either a SPI (3- or 4-wire) or I2C digital interface. It measures the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion or shock. Its high resolution (3.9mg/LSB) enables measurement of inclination changes less than 1.0°. Several special sensing functions are provided. Activity and inactivity sensing detect the presence or lack of motion by comparing the acceleration on any axis with user-set thresholds. An integrated memory management system with a 32-level first in, first out (FIFO) buffer can be used to store data to minimize host processor activity and lower overall system power consumption.

Power consumption scales automatically with bandwidth
User-selectable resolution from 10 to 13-bit
4mg/LSB scale factor in all g ranges
32 Sample FIFO minimizes host processor load
Single tap, double tap and free-fall detection
Flexible interrupt modes mappable to either interrupt pin
