Qualified for automotive applications The ADXL213 is a low cost, low power, complete dual axis
accelerometer with signal conditioned, duty cycle modulated
outputs, all on a single monolithic IC. The ADXL213 measures
acceleration with a full-scale range of ±1.2 g (typical). The
ADXL213 can measure both dynamic acceleration (e.g.,
vibration) and static acceleration (e.g., gravity).
The outputs are digital signals whose duty cycles (ratio of pulse
width to period) are proportional to acceleration (30%/g). The
duty cycle outputs can be directly measured by a microcontroller without an A/D converter or glue logic. …
