Overview
The ADXL103CE-REEL, produced by Analog Devices Inc., is a high precision, low power, complete single-axis accelerometer. It features signal conditioned voltage outputs on a single, monolithic IC. This accelerometer is designed to measure acceleration with full-scale ranges of ±1.7 g, ±5 g, or ±18 g, and it can detect both dynamic acceleration (e.g., vibration) and static acceleration (e.g., gravity).
