The ADXL344 is a versatile 3-axis, digital-output, low g MEMS accelerometer. Selectable measurement range and bandwidth and configurable, built-in motion detection make it suitable for sensing acceleration in a wide variety of applications. Robustness to 10,000 g/of shock and a wide temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) enable use of the accelerometer even in harsh environments.The ADXL344 measures acceleration with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to ±16 g/.
