MMA8491Q: ±8g, Low g, Digital NXP^® Accelerometer

Overview

The NXP^® MMA8491Q 3-axis accelerometer is an ultra-low-power tilt sensor that is ideal for smart meters, home appliances, asset tracking applications, gaming and remote controls.

Auto-on/auto-sleep energy-efficient operation housed in a specialized industrial package
Simple, yet robust, with reduced system and implementation cost for reduced development time
Unique single sample and hold measurement method allows for ease of use

Features

Lower power for significant battery saving
Lead pitch complies with industrial footprint
Out-of-box tilt detection sensor saves setup time
Reduce turn-on data latency
Enables high-resolution application with low-power consumption requirements
Works well with MCU-based devices
Wide operating voltage
