Key Differentiators
- Low noise density of 80 µg/√Hz (vs ADXL345BCCZ-RL7)
- Low 0 g offset drift of ±0.75 mg (vs ADXL356BEZ)
- Selectable measurement ranges up to ±40g (vs ADXL356CEZ)
Design Notes
Provide a clean 3.3V supply with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VDD pin. A 10 µF bulk capacitor is recommended if the supply is shared with other components. The ADXL357BBEZ-RL7 draws 200 µA typical, so power supply noise can affect measurement accuracy. Use a low-noise LDO if the supply is noisy.
Mount the accelerometer on a solid PCB area with a direct mechanical path to the vibrating structure. Avoid placing the sensor near flexible PCB sections or large components that can introduce mechanical stress. Use multiple vias to connect the ground pad to the ground plane to reduce thermal and mechanical stress. Follow the layout guidelines in the datasheet for optimal performance.
Ensure the SPI or I2C interface is configured correctly with proper pull-up resistors for I2C. The CS pin must be tied high for I2C mode. Incorrect wiring can cause communication failures. Also, avoid exceeding the absolute maximum ratings of 3.6V on VDD. The device is sensitive to mechanical shock during soldering; use a reflow profile that minimizes stress.
