Qwiic Accelerometer - MMA8452Q
The Qwiic Accelerometer makes it easy to add tilt, acceleration, and movement sensing to your projects. Built around the NXP MMA8452Q — a smart, low-power, three-axis MEMS accelerometer with 12-bit resolution — it features dual Qwiic connectors for plug-and-play hookup with no soldering required.
The MMA8452Q includes embedded interrupt functions that allow it to monitor events autonomously and remain in a low-power mode during inactivity, saving overall system power by relieving the host processor from continuous polling.
Key Features
- Selectable Range – ±2g / ±4g / ±8g dynamically configurable
- 12-Bit & 8-Bit Output – High-resolution or fast digital output
- Output Data Rates – 1.56 Hz to 800 Hz
- Two Interrupt Pins – Programmable for six interrupt sources
- Ultra-Low Power – 6 µA to 165 µA current consumption
- Dual Qwiic Connectors – Daisy-chain multiple I²C devices
- Disconnectable Pull-Ups – On-board I²C pull-up resistors with cut trace option
- High-Pass Filter – Filtered and non-filtered data available in real time
Ideal For
- Motion and orientation detection
- Tilt sensing and pedometer projects
- Vibration monitoring
- Low-power wake-on-motion applications
