The SparkFun ADXL313 Breakout is a low power, high resolution (up to 13-bits) 3-axis accelerometer for measurement up to ±4g. This breakout measures the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion or shock. Digital output data is formatted as 16-bit two's complement and is accessible through the on-board Qwiic connectors (I2C) or SPI.
The ADXL313 Breakouts high resolution and low noise enable resolution of inclination changes of as little as 0.1deg, while a built-in FIFO facilitates using oversampling techniques to improve resolution to as little as 0.025deg of inclination. The integrated 32-level FIFO can also be used to store data to minimize host processor intervention, resulting in reduced system power consumption. Additional low power modes enable intelligent motion-based power management with threshold sensing and active acceleration measurement at extremely low power dissipation.
