BMA253 Accelerometer

Bosch Sensortec features their BMA253 digital, triaxial acceleration sensor for consumer applications

Image of Bosch Sensortec's BMA253 AccelerometerBosch Sensortec's BMA253 is a triaxial, low-g acceleration sensor with digital output for consumer applications. It allows measurements of acceleration in three perpendicular axes. An evaluation circuitry (ASIC) converts the output of a micromechanical acceleration-sensing structure (MEMS) that works according to the differential capacitance principle.
