MMA8450QR1

Accelerometer X, Y, Z Axis ±2g, 4g, 8g 100Hz ~ 200Hz 16-QFN 6x6

3-Axis, 8-bit/12-bit Digital Accelerometer

The MMA8450Q is a smart low-power, three-axis, capacitive micromachined accelerometer featuring 12 bits of resolution. This accelerometer is packed with embedded functions with flexible user programmable options, configurable to two interrupt pins. Embedded interrupt functions allow for overall power savings relieving the host processor from continuously polling data.
