MMA7260Q Übersicht

The NXP Semiconductors MMA7260Q (originally Motorola/Freescale) is a low-cost tri-axis capacitive micromachined accelerometer offering four user-selectable sensitivities of ±1.5g, ±2g, ±4g, and ±6g in a 16-pin QFN (6mm × 6mm) surface-mount package. It integrates signal conditioning, a 1-pole low-pass filter, temperature compensation, g-Select inputs, and a Sleep Mode for battery-powered handheld applications.

An accelerometer is a MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensor that measures proper acceleration along one or more axes, converting it into a proportional analog or digital output. The MMA7260Q belongs to the broader class of motion sensors and inertial measurement devices, sitting in the hierarchy: 3-axis accelerometer → MEMS accelerometer → motion sensor → inertial sensor. It is widely used wherever low-g tilt, vibration, shock, or motion detection must be sensed without the complexity of a full IMU.

Key features include factory-calibrated zero-g offset and full-scale span requiring no external trim components, four selectable g-ranges via two logic inputs (g-Select1 and g-Select2), a low current consumption of approximately 500 µA in active mode and 3 µA in Sleep Mode, and a single-supply operation from 2.2 V to 3.6 V. The integrated 1-pole low-pass filter has a bandwidth of 350 Hz on the X and Y axes and 150 Hz on the Z axis. The 16-QFN package provides a small 6 mm × 6 mm footprint suitable for space-constrained PCB designs.

Architecturally, the device uses a surface-micromachined capacitive sensing cell with a dedicated ASIC for amplification, demodulation, temperature compensation, and filtering. The capacitive sensing principle delivers good noise performance and stability across its full operating temperature range of -20 °C to +85 °C, while the g-Select multiplexing allows the same silicon to serve multiple application ranges without mechanical reconfiguration.

Typical applications for the MMA7260Q include HDD free-fall detection, portable consumer electronics tilt sensing, motion-activated user interfaces, vibration monitoring in appliances, gaming controllers, and industrial equipment health monitoring. The selectable ranges make it well suited to both high-resolution tilt measurement (using the ±1.5g range) and shock or free-fall detection (using the ±6g range).

When designing with this part, note that the device is specified for 2.2 V to 3.6 V single-supply operation only; for 5 V microcontroller systems an external LDO is required. Place the decoupling capacitor as close as possible to the supply pin, route the analog output traces away from switching nodes, and respect the g-Select logic timing during range switching to avoid transient invalid outputs.

Typische Anwendungen

MMA7260Q ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: HDD Free-Fall Detection, Portable Consumer Tilt Sensing, Motion-Activated User Interfaces, Appliance Vibration Monitoring, Industrial Equipment Health Monitoring, Gaming and Controller Motion Sensing.

🖥️

HDD Free-Fall Detection

The MMA7260Q is well suited to hard-disk drive free-fall protection because its selectable ±6g range provides enough headroom to detect hard accelerations while the integrated 1-pole low-pass filter at 350 Hz X/Y and 150 Hz Z suppresses mechanical noise from the chassis. Placed near the HDD connector, the device samples all three axes simultaneously and a host microcontroller triggers a head-park routine when any axis exceeds a programmable threshold; the ±6g range gives approximately 100 mg/count at 10-bit resolution, sufficient margin to detect drops while remaining robust to typing-level vibrations. Sleep Mode (3 µA) makes it practical for battery-powered mobile storage devices.

📱

Portable Consumer Tilt Sensing

For handheld consumer products such as remote controls, toys, and personal media players, the MMA7260Q's ±1.5g low-g range delivers the highest resolution for tilt measurement, with the g-Select logic inputs allowing designers to switch ranges on demand. Typical circuits place the device near the product center-of-mass and route the X/Y analog outputs to the host ADC; the 350 Hz X/Y bandwidth captures brisk tilt gestures while ignoring sensor noise. The 6 mm × 6 mm QFN footprint eases placement in space-constrained enclosures, and the 2.2 V to 3.6 V supply range supports direct connection to a Li-ion or two-AAA battery stack.

🧩

Motion-Activated User Interfaces

Gesture and motion-triggered user interfaces benefit from the MMA7260Q's wide dynamic range and fast wake-up from Sleep Mode (less than 1 ms typical). The device can sit in 3 µA Sleep Mode until motion is detected, then wake the host microcontroller for gesture decoding; this power profile makes the part attractive for battery-driven wearables and IoT devices. The three analog outputs let the host perform tap, double-tap, and orientation detection in firmware without complex state-machine hardware. With the 16-QFN footprint, it fits into compact wearable enclosures.

🏭

Appliance Vibration Monitoring

White goods such as washing machines and refrigerators employ the MMA7260Q for vibration and unbalance monitoring during spin cycles. The ±6g range covers the high-G shock loads that occur during bearing failure, while the ±1.5g range provides resolution for routine unbalance measurements. The Z-axis bandwidth of 150 Hz is a natural match for mechanical vibration spectra, and the integrated temperature compensation maintains calibration across the appliance's thermal envelope. Analog outputs feed a low-cost MCU ADC for predictive-maintenance algorithms.

⚡

Industrial Equipment Health Monitoring

In factory environments, the MMA7260Q performs low-cost vibration analysis on pumps, fans, and small motors. The selectable range scales the output for either ISO-10816 vibration envelope compliance at ±1.5g/±2g or shock sensing during fault events at ±6g. The 16-QFN industrial-grade package withstands the typical 0 °C to 70 °C equipment-compartment temperatures, and the analog outputs simplify integration into legacy PLC analog-input modules. The Sleep Mode enables battery-powered wireless sensor nodes that monitor unpowered equipment intermittently.

🎮

Gaming and Controller Motion Sensing

Game controllers and pointing devices historically used the MMA7260Q to capture fast motion gestures because the 350 Hz X/Y bandwidth responds to abrupt player movement without aliasing. The selectable range lets designers trade resolution against motion magnitude for casual versus competitive gaming profiles. The 6 mm × 6 mm QFN integrates cleanly into compact controller enclosures, and the low active current of about 500 µA preserves battery life across long play sessions. Tap-to-wake via interrupt logic adds quick-resume behaviour favored in handheld gaming platforms.

What is the acceleration range of the MMA7260Q?
The MMA7260Q supports four user-selectable acceleration ranges of ±1.5g, ±2g, ±4g, and ±6g. Selection between these four ranges is performed at runtime using the g-Select1 and g-Select2 logic inputs, allowing one device to cover multiple application scenarios from high-resolution tilt sensing at ±1.5g to free-fall detection at ±6g without hardware changes.
Does the MMA7260Q require external calibration?
No, the MMA7260Q is factory calibrated for zero-g offset and full-scale span, so no external trim components or software calibration are required at the basic level. According to the manufacturer datasheet, all calibration values are stored on-chip during production, simplifying design-in and removing per-unit adjustment time from manufacturing.
Is the MMA7260Q still in production?
The MMA7260Q has been marked obsolete by NXP Semiconductors. For new designs, consider the recommended Freescale/NXP replacement MMA7361L (an LGA-14 successor) or the modern MMA845x digital-output family via parametric alternatives listed on this page. Existing inventory remains available through authorized distributors.
What is the operating voltage range of MMA7260Q?
The MMA7260Q operates from a single 2.2 V to 3.6 V supply. For designs powered from a 5 V rail, an external low-dropout (LDO) regulator such as the NXP TLV1117 or equivalent must be inserted between the 5 V rail and the VDD pin to step the voltage into the supported range and avoid damage.
What is the bandwidth of the MMA7260Q?
The MMA7260Q internal 1-pole low-pass filter has a cutoff frequency of 350 Hz on the X and Y axes and 150 Hz on the Z axis. This asymmetric filtering is intentional because typical tilt and motion applications are dominated by X and Y dynamics, while the Z axis is mostly used for vibration detection at lower frequencies.
Where can I buy the MMA7260Q and what is the current price?
The MMA7260Q is available from authorized distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, and Octopart-listed channel partners, with pricing as of 2026-10-15 starting around $4.75 per unit at 1000-piece quantities. Stock is limited because the part is obsolete; expect longer lead times and recommend quoting multiple distributors or considering a recommended NXP replacement such as the MMA7361L for new designs.
What is the lead time for the MMA7260Q?
Lead times for the obsolete MMA7260Q vary widely by distributor and remaining stock, ranging from same-day shipment (while inventory lasts) to extended lead times of several weeks. As of 2026-10-15, distributors showing live stock typically ship within 1-3 business days; for production volumes, place orders early and confirm availability through your supply chain partner.
Is the MMA7260Q in stock anywhere?
MMA7260Q inventory levels fluctuate because the part is officially obsolete. As of 2026-10-15, DigiKey and Mouser both show limited stock. For high-reliability or volume production, NXP's recommended replacement is the MMA7361L (LGA-14 package) or the digital MMA8452Q/3Q family, both of which are actively manufactured.
What is the best drop-in replacement for MMA7260Q?
The closest NXP pin-compatible drop-in replacement for the MMA7260Q in the same 16-QFN footprint is the MMA7260QT tape-and-reel variant, which shares an identical silicon and pinout. For improved performance, NXP recommends the MMA7361L which also uses a 14-LGA package (not pin-compatible) or the modern MMA8452Q/3Q digital-output family (also different footprint). For true pin-compatible alternatives from this part family, the MMA7261QT is an option with similar ranges.
MMA7260Q vs ADXL330 - which is better for motor vibration monitoring?
The MMA7260Q's selectable ranges (±1.5g/±2g/±4g/±6g) make it more flexible for motor vibration applications with varying amplitude. The ADXL330 by Analog Devices offers a fixed ±3g range and similar bandwidth but typically lower current consumption. For multi-amplitude motor vibration work, the MMA7260Q's selectable range is advantageous; for low-power battery applications, the ADXL330 may be preferable.
When should I choose MMA7260Q over MMA7361L?
Choose the MMA7260Q for legacy designs that already have its QFN-16 footprint on the PCB, even though the part is obsolete. For all new designs, NXP recommends the MMA7361L because it is actively manufactured, offers higher sensitivity options, and provides improved temperature stability. The MMA7361L is a package change (LGA-14), so PCB rework is required.
Can MMA7261QT replace MMA7260Q?
Yes, the MMA7261QT is a drop-in compatible replacement for the MMA7260Q. Both parts share the same NXP QFN-16 package, identical pinout, and very similar electrical characteristics; the MMA7261QT offers a slightly different sensitivity level optimized for motion detection rather than tilt. Substitution can usually be done without firmware or hardware changes.
Is MMA7260Q RoHS compliant?
No, the MMA7260Q is RoHS non-compliant and contains lead per the manufacturer datasheet. For RoHS-compliant new designs, choose a lead-free NXP replacement such as the MMA7361L or the modern MMA845x family. The legacy MMA7260Q should only be specified where the existing assembly is exempt from lead-free requirements.
Where can I download the MMA7260Q datasheet PDF?
The official MMA7260Q datasheet is available as a PDF on the NXP Semiconductors website at the product documentation link. The same PDF is mirrored on alldatasheet.com and digchip.com under the original Motorola/Freescale document number. The datasheet is 12 pages long and includes full electrical specifications, application circuits, and layout guidance.
What are the key specifications of MMA7260Q that engineers should know?
The MMA7260Q key specifications are: 3-axis capacitive MEMS accelerometer; four selectable ranges of ±1.5g/±2g/±4g/±6g; bandwidth of 350 Hz X/Y and 150 Hz Z; supply 2.2 V to 3.6 V; integrated 1-pole low-pass filter; factory-calibrated zero-g offset and full-scale span; analog output; Sleep Mode for low-power operation; 16-QFN 6 mm × 6 mm package; -20 °C to +85 °C operation. Built-in temperature compensation eliminates per-board calibration.

Auswahlhilfe

Choose the MMA7260Q when you need an analog-output, 3-axis MEMS accelerometer with selectable sensitivity for legacy designs where the 16-QFN footprint is already on the PCB, or for cost-sensitive battery-powered applications that benefit from the 3 µA Sleep Mode and 350 Hz X/Y bandwidth. Note that the part is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, so it is best suited to maintenance, repair, or legacy-production scenarios. For new designs, NXP recommends the MMA7361L (LGA-14 package, requires PCB rework) or the digital MMA8452Q/3Q family (different footprint and I2C/SPI interface). Among drop-in compatible parts on the same 16-QFN footprint, the MMA7260QT is identical silicon in tape-and-reel packaging; the MMA7261QT is a slightly different range profile; the MMA7455L swaps the analog interface for digital I2C/SPI on the same footprint. Verify application requirements against lifecycle, compliance, and supply before committing to the obsolete part.

Wichtigste Unterscheidungsmerkmale

  • User-selectable g-range without hardware changes (vs. ADXL335)
  • Integrated Sleep Mode for ultra-low-power battery operation (vs. MMA7455L)
  • Factory-calibrated zero-g offset and full-scale span (vs. Generic MEMS modules)

Designhinweise

Estimated: at 3.3 V VDD, the MMA7260Q draws approximately 500 µA active; with a 3 µA Sleep Mode, a battery-powered design can use a Sleep/wake cycle calculated as t_sleep * 3 µA + t_active * 500 µA to minimize average current. Place a 100 nF decoupling capacitor within 5 mm of the VDD pin, plus a 10 µF bulk reservoir near the analog ground. For 5 V microcontroller projects, add an external LDO such as the NXP TLV1117-33 to step 5 V to 3.3 V before the sensor supply.

Route the analog X, Y, Z output traces as short as possible, away from switching DC-DC converter inductors and digital clocks. Keep a solid ground plane under the device with no cuts directly below the MEMS sensing cell; mechanical stress from PCB flex near the package can shift zero-g bias. Maintain symmetric copper pours around the package to balance thermal expansion and minimize temperature-induced offset drift.

Critical: do NOT exceed 3.6 V on VDD - the MMA7260Q is a 3.3 V part and overvoltage will damage the ESD structures. Critical: when changing the g-Select1/g-Select2 logic inputs, allow at least one sample period before trusting the output as the internal filter and demodulator require settling time. Common pitfall: the device is RoHS non-compliant and contains lead; do not specify it for new RoHS-required designs without an explicit exemption.

The integrated temperature compensation is factory calibrated across -20 °C to +85 °C, eliminating the need for host-side temperature compensation in most designs. If your enclosure exceeds 85 °C ambient, derate the g-Select ranges accordingly or move to the MMA7361L which extends the operating range. Thermal gradients across the PCB during high-current switching events can induce transient zero-g offset shifts; isolate the accelerometer from heat sources.
