GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADXL50 is a complete acceleration measurement system on a single monolithic IC. Three external capacitors and a +5 volt power supply are all that is required to measure accelerations up to ± 50 g. Device sensitivity is factory trimmed to 19 mV/g, resulting in a full-scale output swing of ±0.95 volts for a ±50 g applied acceleration. Its zero g output level is +1.8 volts.
