ADI’s ADXL375 200-g digital MEMS accelerometer
delivers more than twice the bandwidth at less than half the power
consumption of competing sensors used to measure high-g events.
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global leader in high-performance
semiconductors for signal processing applications, today introduced
a 3-axis, 200-g digital MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems)
accelerometer with the highest bandwidth and lowest power in its
class. The ADXL375 MEMS accelerometer continuously measures the
duration and magnitude of impact or shock events within the
full-scale range of ±200 g without saturation. The new sensor
consumes 140 μA at a full bandwidth of up to 1,600 Hz, delivering
more than twice the sampling rate of competing sensors at less than
half the power. The ADXL375 is suited for low- and battery-powered
wireless sensor networks used in concussion detection,
transportation, asset tracking and other applications that are
subject to sudden, high-magnitude forces.

ADXL375 Enables Next-Generation Blast Gauge™ Impact Detection
System
The ADXL375 has been designed into the newest generation of the
Blast Gauge™, a body-worn blast detection system developed by
BlackBox Biometrics. The device is currently deployed with U.S.
Armed Forces to measure and record concussive event data that is
then used for health and safety assessment. The device also
utilizes ADI’s ADXL362 low-power, 3-axis MEMS accelerometer as part
of an intelligent, continuously operational, motion-activated
switch to increase battery life in the sealed environment.
“The ADXL375 provides high-g measurement capabilities with an
industry-leading sampling rate, enhancing the ability of the Blast
Gauge to accurately detect explosive and concussive events
affecting our service members in-theater and in training,” said
David Borkholder, chief technology officer, BlackBox
Biometrics. “In combination with the ultra-low power ADXL362, the
ADXL375 has enabled an advanced Blast Gauge system which includes
an enhanced ability to distinguish between potentially harmful and
innocuous events.”
ADXL375 MEMS Accelerometer Features User-Selectable Impact
Threshold Levels
The ADXL375 3-axis, 200-g MEMS accelerometer includes an
integrated memory management system consisting of a 32-level FIFO
(first-in, first-out) memory. The buffer memory includes low-power
modes that can be used to set impact thresholds, store data and
lower overall system power consumption by offloading those
functions from the host processor.
