FEATURES  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
Multipurpose accelerometer with 10- to 13-bit resolution for  
use in a wide variety of applications  
Digital output accessible via SPI (3- and 4-wire) and I2C  
Built-in motion detection features make tap, double-tap,  
activity, inactivity, and free-fall detection trivial  
User-adjustable thresholds  
The ADXL343 is a versatile 3-axis, digital-output, low g MEMS  
accelerometer. Selectable measurement range and bandwidth, and  
configurable, built-in motion detection make it suitable for sensing  
acceleration in a wide variety of applications. Robustness to  
10,000 g of shock and a wide temperature range (−40°C to +85°C)  
enable use of the accelerometer even in harsh environments.  
Interrupts independently mappable to two interrupt pins  
Low power operation down to 23 µA and embedded FIFO for  
reducing overall system power  
Wide supply voltage range: 2.0 V to 3.6 V  
I/O voltage 1.7 V to VS  
Wide operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C)  
10,000 g shock survival  
Small, thin, Pb free, RoHS compliant 3 mm × 5 mm × 1 mm  
LGA package  
The ADXL343 measures acceleration with high resolution (13-bit)  
measurement at up to 16 g. Digital output data is formatted as  
16-bit twos complement and is accessible through either an SPI  
(3- or 4-wire) or I2C digital interface. The ADXL343 can  
measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing appli-  
cations, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion  
or shock. Its high resolution (3.9 mg/LSB) enables measurement  
of inclination changes less than 1.0°.  
Several special sensing functions are provided. Activity and  
inactivity sensing detect the presence or lack of motion. Tap  
sensing detects single and double taps in any direction. Free-fall  
sensing detects if the device is falling. These functions can be  
mapped individually to either of two interrupt output pins.  
APPLICATIONS  
Handsets  
Gaming and pointing devices  
Hard disk drive (HDD) protection  
An integrated memory management system with a 32-level first in,  
first out (FIFO) buffer can be used to store data to minimize host  
processor activity and lower overall system power consumption.  
The ADXL343 is supplied in a small, thin, 3 mm × 5 mm × 1 mm,  
14-terminal, plastic package.

1 The typical specifications shown are for at least 68% of the population of parts and are based on the worst case of mean 1 σ, except for 0 g output and sensitivity,  
which represents the target value. For 0 g offset and sensitivity, the deviation from the ideal describes the worst case of mean 1 σ.  
2 Cross-axis sensitivity is defined as coupling between any two axes.  
3 Bandwidth is the −3 dB frequency and is half the output data rate, bandwidth = ODR/2.  
4 The output format for the 3200 Hz and 1600 Hz ODRs is different than the output format for the remaining ODRs. This difference is described in the Data Formatting of  
Upper Data Rates section.  
5 Output data rates below 6.25 Hz exhibit additional offset shift with increased temperature, depending on selected output data rate. Refer to the Offset Performance at  
Lowest Data Rates section for details.  
6 Self-test change is defined as the output (g) when the SELF_TEST bit = 1 (in the DATA_FORMAT register, Address 0x31) minus the output (g) when the SELF_TEST bit =  
0. Due to device filtering, the output reaches its final value after 4 × τ when enabling or disabling self-test, where τ = 1/(data rate). The part must be in normal power  
operation (LOW_POWER bit = 0 in the BW_RATE register, Address 0x2C) for self-test to operate correctly.  
7 Turn-on and wake-up times are determined by the user-defined bandwidth. At a 100 Hz data rate, the turn-on and wake-up times are each approximately 11.1 ms. For  
other data rates, the turn-on and wake-up times are each approximately τ + 1.1 in milliseconds, where τ = 1/(data rate).

ADXL3ꢀ3  
THEORY OF OPERATION  
The ADXL343 is a complete 3-axis acceleration measurement  
system with a selectable measurement range of 2 g, 4 g, 8 g,  
or 16 g. It measures both dynamic acceleration resulting from  
motion or shock and static acceleration, such as gravity, that  
allows the device to be used as a tilt sensor.  
POWER SEQUENCING  
Power can be applied to VS or VDD I/O in any sequence without  
damaging the ADXL343. All possible power-on modes are  
summarized in Table 6. The interface voltage level is set with  
the interface supply voltage, VDD I/O, which must be present to  
ensure that the ADXL343 does not create a conflict on the  
communication bus. For single-supply operation, VDD I/O can be  
the same as the main supply, VS. In a dual-supply application,  
however, VDD I/O can differ from VS to accommodate the desired  
The sensor is a polysilicon surface-micromachined structure  
built on top of a silicon wafer. Polysilicon springs suspend the  
structure over the surface of the wafer and provide a resistance  
against forces due to applied acceleration.  
interface voltage, as long as VS is greater than or equal to VDD I/O  
.
Deflection of the structure is measured using differential capacitors  
that consist of independent fixed plates and plates attached to the  
moving mass. Acceleration deflects the proof mass and unbalances  
the differential capacitor, resulting in a sensor output whose ampli-  
tude is proportional to acceleration. Phase-sensitive demodulation  
is used to determine the magnitude and polarity of the acceleration.  
After VS is applied, the device enters standby mode, where power  
consumption is minimized and the device waits for VDD I/O to be  
applied and for the command to enter measurement mode to be  
received. (This command can be initiated by setting the measure  
bit (Bit D3) in the POWER_CTL register (Address 0x2D).) In  
addition, while the device is in standby mode, any register can be  
written to or read from to configure the part. It is recommended  
to configure the device in standby mode and then to enable  
measurement mode. Clearing the measure bit returns the  
device to the standby mode.

Off Off  
On Off  
The device is completely off, but there is a potential for a communication bus conflict.  
The device is on in standby mode, but communication is unavailable and creates a conflict on  
the communication bus. The duration of this state should be minimized during power-up to  
prevent a conflict.  
Bus Enabled  
Off On  
No functions are available, but the device does not create a conflict on the communication bus.  
Standby or Measurement On On  
At power-up, the device is in standby mode, awaiting a command to enter measurement  
mode, and all sensor functions are off. After the device is instructed to enter measurement  
mode, all sensor functions are available.

Output Data  
Rate (Hz)  
The ADXL343 automatically modulates its power consumption  
in proportion to its output data rate, as outlined in Table 7. If  
additional power savings is desired, a lower power mode is  
available. In this mode, the internal sampling rate is reduced,  
allowing for power savings in the 12.5 Hz to 400 Hz data rate  
range at the expense of slightly greater noise. To enter low power  
mode, set the LOW_POWER bit (Bit 4) in the BW_RATE register  
(Address 0x2C). The current consumption in low power mode  
is shown in Table 8 for cases where there is an advantage to  
using low power mode. Use of low power mode for a data rate  
not shown in Table 8 does not provide any advantage over the same  
data rate in normal power mode. Therefore, it is recommended  
that only data rates shown in Table 8 are used in low power mode.  
The current consumption values shown in Table 7 and Table 8  
are for a VS of 2.5 V.

Auto Sleep Mode  
Additional power can be saved if theADXL343 automatically  
switches to sleep mode during periods of inactivity. To enable  
this feature, set the THRESH_INACT register (Address 0x25)  
and the TIME_INACT register (Address 0x26) each to a value  
that signifies inactivity (the appropriate value depends on the  
application), and then set the AUTO_SLEEP bit (Bit D4) and the  
link bit (Bit D5) in the POWER_CTL register (Address 0x2D).  
Current consumption at the sub-12.5 Hz data rates that are  
used in this mode is typically 23 µA for a VS of 2.5 V.

For even lower power operation, standby mode can be used. In  
standby mode, current consumption is reduced to 0.1 µA (typical).  
In this mode, no measurements are made. Standby mode is  
entered by clearing the measure bit (Bit D3) in the POWER_CTL  
register (Address 0x2D). Placing the device into standby mode  
preserves the contents of FIFO.

SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS  
I2C and SPI digital communications are available. In both cases,  
(MB in Figure 27 to Figure 29), must be set. After the register  
addressing and the first byte of data, each subsequent set of  
clock pulses (eight clock pulses) causes the ADXL343 to point  
to the next register for a read or write. This shifting continues

CS  
the ADXL343 operates as a slave. I C mode is enabled if the  
CS  
pin is tied high to VDD I/O. The  
pin should always be tied high  
to VDD I/O or be driven by an external controller because there is

with the part. In SPI mode, the  
pin is controlled by the bus  
master. In both SPI and I2C modes of operation, data transmitted  
from the ADXL343 to the master device should be ignored  
during writes to the ADXL343.  
The timing diagram for 3-wire SPI reads or writes is shown  
in Figure 29. The 4-wire equivalents for SPI writes and reads  
are shown in Figure 27 and Figure 28, respectively. For correct  
operation of the part, the logic thresholds and timing parameters  
in Table 9 and Table 10 must be met at all times.  
SPI  
For SPI, either 3- or 4-wire configuration is possible, as shown in  
the connection diagrams in Figure 24 and Figure 25. Clearing the  
SPI bit (Bit D6) in the DATA_FORMAT register (Address 0x31)  
selects 4-wire mode, whereas setting the SPI bit selects 3-wire  
mode. The maximum SPI clock speed is 5 MHz with 100 pF  
maximum loading, and the timing scheme follows clock polarity  
(CPOL) = 1 and clock phase (CPHA) = 1. If power is applied to  
the ADXL343 before the clock polarity and phase of the host  
Use of the 3200 Hz and 1600 Hz output data rates is only  
recommended with SPI communication rates greater than or  
equal to 2 MHz. The 800 Hz output data rate is recommended  
only for communication speeds greater than or equal to 400 kHz,  
and the remaining data rates scale proportionally. For example,  
the minimum recommended communication speed for a 200 Hz  
output data rate is 100 kHz. Operation at an output data rate  
above the recommended maximum may result in undesirable  
effects on the acceleration data, including missing samples or  
additional noise.  
CS  
processor are configured, the  
pin should be brought high  
before changing the clock polarity and phase. When using 3-wire  
SPI, it is recommended that the SDO pin be either pulled up to  
DD I/O or pulled down to GND via a 10 kΩ resistor.

conditions where a SPI command transmitted to another device

may interfere with other bus traffic. Unless bus traffic can be  
adequately controlled to assure such a condition never occurs,  
it is recommended to add a logic gate in front of the SDI pin  
as shown in Figure 26. This OR gate holds the SDA line high

I2C  
Due to communication speed limitations, the maximum output  
data rate when using 400 kHz I2C is 800 Hz and scales linearly  
with a change in the I2C communication speed. For example,  
using I2C at 100 kHz limits the maximum ODR to 200 Hz.  
Operation at an output data rate above the recommended maxi-  
mum may result in undesirable effect on the acceleration data,  
including missing samples or additional noise.

With  
requiring a simple 2-wire connection, as shown in Figure 30.  
The ADXL343 conforms to the UM10204 I2C-Bus Specification  
and User Manual, Rev. 03—19 June 2007, available from NXP  
Semiconductor. It supports standard (100 kHz) and fast (400 kHz)  
data transfer modes if the bus parameters given in Table 11  
and Table 12 are met. Single- or multiple-byte reads/writes are  
supported, as shown in Figure 31. With the ALT ADDRESS pin

CS  
If other devices are connected to the same I2C bus, the nominal  
operating voltage level of these other devices cannot exceed VDD I/O  
by more than 0.3 V. External pull-up resistors, RP, are necessary for  
proper I2C operation. Refer to the UM10204 I2C-Bus Specification  
and User Manual, Rev. 03—19 June 2007, when selecting pull-up  
resistor values to ensure proper operation.

Data Sheet  
DOUBLE_TAP  
INTERRUPTS  
The DOUBLE_TAP bit is set when two acceleration events  
that are greater than the value in the THRESH_TAP register  
(Address 0x1D) occur for less time than is specified in the DUR  
register (Address 0x21), with the second tap starting after the  
time specified by the latent register (Address 0x22) but within  
the time specified in the window register (Address 0x23). See  
the Tap Detection section for more details.  
The ADXL343 provides two output pins for driving interrupts:  
INT1 and INT2. Both interrupt pins are push-pull, low impedance  
pins with output specifications shown in Table 13. The default  
configuration of the interrupt pins is active high. This can be  
changed to active low by setting the INT_INVERT bit in the  
DATA_FORMAT (Address 0x31) register. All functions can  
be used simultaneously, with the only limiting feature being  
that some functions may need to share interrupt pins.  
Activity  
The activity bit is set when acceleration greater than the value stored  
in the THRESH_ACT register (Address 0x24) is experienced on  
any participating axis, set by the ACT_INACT_CTL register  
(Address 0x27).  
Interrupts are enabled by setting the appropriate bit in the  
INT_ENABLE register (Address 0x2E) and are mapped to  
either the INT1 or INT2 pin based on the contents  
of the INT_MAP register (Address 0x2F). When initially  
configuring the interrupt pins, it is recommended that the  
functions and interrupt mapping be done before enabling the  
interrupts. When changing the configuration of an interrupt, it  
is recommended that the interrupt be disabled first, by clearing  
the bit corresponding to that function in the INT_ENABLE  
register, and then the function be reconfigured before enabling  
the interrupt again. Configuration of the functions while the  
interrupts are disabled helps to prevent the accidental generation  
of an interrupt before desired.  
The interrupt functions are latched and cleared by either reading the  
data registers (Address 0x32 to Address 0x37) until the interrupt  
condition is no longer valid for the data-related interrupts or by  
reading the INT_SOURCE register (Address 0x30) for the  
remaining interrupts. This section describes the interrupts  
that can be set in the INT_ENABLE register and monitored  
in the INT_SOURCE register.  
Inactivity  
The inactivity bit is set when acceleration of less than the  
value stored in the THRESH_INACT register (Address 0x25) is  
experienced for more time than is specified in the TIME_INACT  
register (Address 0x26) on all participating axes, as set by the  
ACT_INACT_CTL register (Address 0x27). The maximum value  
for TIME_INACT is 255 sec.  
FREE_FALL  
The FREE_FALL bit is set when acceleration of less than the  
value stored in the THRESH_FF register (Address 0x28) is  
experienced for more time than is specified in the TIME_FF  
register (Address 0x29) on all axes (logical AND). The FREE_FALL  
interrupt differs from the inactivity interrupt as follows: all axes  
always participate and are logically ANDed, the timer period is  
much smaller (1.28 sec maximum), and the mode of operation is  
always dc-coupled.  
Watermark  
DATA_READY  
The watermark bit is set when the number of samples in FIFO  
equals the value stored in the samples bits (Register FIFO_CTL,  
Address 0x38). The watermark bit is cleared automatically when  
FIFO is read, and the content returns to a value below the value  
stored in the samples bits.  
The DATA_READY bit is set when new data is available and is  
cleared when no new data is available.  
SINGLE_TAP  
The SINGLE_TAP bit is set when a single acceleration event  
that is greater than the value in the THRESH_TAP register  
(Address 0x1D) occurs for less time than is specified in the  
DUR register (Address 0x21).

ADXL3ꢀ3  
Overrun  
Trigger Mode  
The overrun bit is set when new data replaces unread data.  
The precise operation of the overrun function depends on the  
FIFO mode. In bypass mode, the overrun bit is set when new data  
replaces unread data in the DATAX, DATAY, and DATAZ registers  
(Address 0x32 to Address 0x37). In all other modes, the overrun bit  
is set when FIFO is filled. The overrun bit is automatically cleared  
when the contents of FIFO are read.  
In trigger mode, FIFO accumulates samples, holding the latest  
32 samples from measurements of the x-, y-, and z-axes. After  
a trigger event occurs and an interrupt is sent to the INT1 or  
INT2 pin (determined by the trigger bit in the FIFO_CTL register),  
FIFO keeps the last n samples (where n is the value specified by  
the samples bits in the FIFO_CTL register) and then operates in  
FIFO mode, collecting new samples only when FIFO is not full.  
A delay of at least 5 µs should be present between the trigger event  
occurring and the start of reading data from the FIFO to allow  
the FIFO to discard and retain the necessary samples. Additional  
trigger events cannot be recognized until the trigger mode is  
reset. To reset the trigger mode, set the device to bypass mode  
and then set the device back to trigger mode. Note that the FIFO  
data should be read first because placing the device into bypass  
mode clears FIFO.  
FIFO  
The ADXL343 contains an embedded memory management  
system with a 32-level FIFO memory buffer that can be used to  
minimize host processor burden. This buffer has four modes:  
bypass, FIFO, stream, and trigger (see Table 22). Each mode is  
selected by the settings of the FIFO_MODE bits (Bits[D7:D6])  
in the FIFO_CTL register (Address 0x38).  
If use of the FIFO is not desired, the FIFO should be placed in  
bypass mode.  
Retrieving Data from FIFO  
The FIFO data is read through the DATAX, DATAY, and DATAZ  
registers (Address 0x32 to Address 0x37). When the FIFO is in  
FIFO, stream, or trigger mode, reads to the DATAX, DATAY,  
and DATAZ registers read data stored in the FIFO. Each time  
data is read from the FIFO, the oldest x-, y-, and z-axes data are  
placed into the DATAX, DATAY, and DATAZ registers.  
Bypass Mode  
In bypass mode, FIFO is not operational and, therefore,  
remains empty.  
FIFO Mode  
In FIFO mode, data from measurements of the x-, y-, and z-axes  
are stored in FIFO. When the number of samples in FIFO equals  
the level specified in the samples bits of the FIFO_CTL register  
(Address 0x38), the watermark interrupt is set. FIFO continues  
accumulating samples until it is full (32 samples from measurements  
of the x-, y-, and z-axes) and then stops collecting data. After FIFO  
stops collecting data, the device continues to operate; therefore,  
features such as tap detection can be used after FIFO is full. The  
watermark interrupt continues to occur until the number of  
samples in FIFO is less than the value stored in the samples bits  
of the FIFO_CTL register.  
If a single-byte read operation is performed, the remaining  
bytes of data for the current FIFO sample are lost. Therefore, all  
axes of interest should be read in a burst (or multiple-byte) read  
operation. To ensure that the FIFO has completely popped (that  
is, that new data has completely moved into the DATAX, DATAY,  
and DATAZ registers), there must be at least 5 µs between the  
end of reading the data registers and the start of a new read of  
the FIFO or a read of the FIFO_STATUS register (Address 0x39).  
The end of reading a data register is signified by the transition  
CS  
from Register 0x37 to Register 0x38 or by the  
pin going high.  
For SPI operation at 1.6 MHz or less, the register addressing  
portion of the transmission is a sufficient delay to ensure that  
the FIFO has completely popped. For SPI operation greater than  
Stream Mode  
In stream mode, data from measurements of the x-, y-, and z-  
axes are stored in FIFO. When the number of samples in FIFO  
equals the level specified in the samples bits of the FIFO_CTL  
register (Address 0x38), the watermark interrupt is set. FIFO  
continues accumulating samples and holds the latest 32 samples  
from measurements of the x-, y-, and z-axes, discarding older  
data as new data arrives. The watermark interrupt continues  
occurring until the number of samples in FIFO is less than the  
value stored in the samples bits of the FIFO_CTL register.  
CS  
1.6 MHz, it is necessary to deassert the  
pin to ensure a total  
delay of 5 µs; otherwise, the delay is not sufficient. The total delay  
necessary for 5 MHz operation is at most 3.4 µs. This is not a  
concern when using I2C mode because the communication rate is  
low enough to ensure a sufficient delay between FIFO reads.

SELF-TEST  
Table 14. Self-Test Output Scale Factors for Different Supply  
Voltages, VS  
The ADXL343 incorporates a self-test feature that effectively  
tests its mechanical and electronic systems simultaneously.  
When the self-test function is enabled (via the SELF_TEST bit  
in the DATA_FORMAT register, Address 0x31), an electrostatic  
force is exerted on the mechanical sensor. This electrostatic force  
moves the mechanical sensing element in the same manner as  
acceleration, and it is additive to the acceleration experienced  
by the device. This added electrostatic force results in an output  
change in the x-, y-, and z-axes. Because the electrostatic force

effect is shown in Figure 33. The scale factors shown in Table 14

ADXL343 also exhibits a bimodal behavior. However, the limits  
shown in Table 1 and Table 15 to Table 18 are valid for both  
potential self-test values due to bimodality. Use of the self-test  
feature at data rates less than 100 Hz or at 1600 Hz may yield  
values outside these limits. Therefore, the part must be in normal  
power operation (LOW_POWER bit = 0 in BW_RATE register,  
Address 0x2C) and be placed into a data rate of 100 Hz through  
800 Hz or 3200 Hz for the self-test function to operate correctly.

Register 0x25—THRESH_INACT (Read/Write)  
REGISTER DEFINITIONS  
The THRESH_INACT register is eight bits and holds the threshold  
value for detecting inactivity. The data format is unsigned,  
therefore, the magnitude of the inactivity event is compared  
with the value in the THRESH_INACT register. The scale factor  
is 62.5 mg/LSB. A value of 0 may result in undesirable behavior  
if the inactivity interrupt is enabled.

The DEVID register holds a fixed device ID code of 0xE5 (345 octal).  
Register 0x1D—THRESH_TAP (Read/Write)  
The THRESH_TAP register is eight bits and holds the threshold  
value for tap interrupts. The data format is unsigned, therefore,  
the magnitude of the tap event is compared with the value  
in THRESH_TAP for normal tap detection. The scale factor is  
62.5 mg/LSB (that is, 0xFF = 16 g). A value of 0 may result in  
undesirable behavior if single tap/double tap interrupts are  
enabled.  
Register 0x26—TIME_INACT (Read/Write)  
The TIME_INACT register is eight bits and contains an unsigned  
time value representing the amount of time that acceleration  
must be less than the value in the THRESH_INACT register for  
inactivity to be declared. The scale factor is 1 sec/LSB. Unlike  
the other interrupt functions, which use unfiltered data (see the  
Threshold section), the inactivity function uses filtered output  
data. At least one output sample must be generated for the  
inactivity interrupt to be triggered. This results in the function  
appearing unresponsive if the TIME_INACT register is set to a  
value less than the time constant of the output data rate. A value  
of 0 results in an interrupt when the output data is less than the  
value in the THRESH_INACT register.  
Register 0x1E, Register 0x1F, Register 0x20—OFSX,  
OFSY, OFSZ (Read/Write)  
The OFSX, OFSY, and OFSZ registers are each eight bits and  
offer user-set offset adjustments in twos complement format  
with a scale factor of 15.6 mg/LSB (that is, 0x7F = 2 g). The  
value stored in the offset registers is automatically added to the  
acceleration data, and the resulting value is stored in the output  
data registers. For additional information regarding offset  
calibration and the use of the offset registers, refer to the Offset  
Calibration section.

INACT ac/dc INACT_X enable INACT_Y enable INACT_Z enable  
The DUR register is eight bits and contains an unsigned time  
value representing the maximum time that an event must be  
above the THRESH_TAP threshold to qualify as a tap event. The  
scale factor is 625 µs/LSB. A value of 0 disables the single tap/  
double tap functions.  
ACT AC/DC and INACT AC/DC Bits  
A setting of 0 selects dc-coupled operation, and a setting of 1  
enables ac-coupled operation. In dc-coupled operation, the  
current acceleration magnitude is compared directly with  
THRESH_ACT and THRESH_INACT to determine whether  
activity or inactivity is detected.  
Register 0x22—Latent (Read/Write)  
The latent register is eight bits and contains an unsigned time  
value representing the wait time from the detection of a tap  
event to the start of the time window (defined by the window  
register) during which a possible second tap event can be detected.  
The scale factor is 1.25 ms/LSB. A value of 0 disables the double tap  
function.  
In ac-coupled operation for activity detection, the acceleration  
value at the start of activity detection is taken as a reference  
value. New samples of acceleration are then compared to this  
reference value, and if the magnitude of the difference exceeds  
the THRESH_ACT value, the device triggers an activity interrupt.  
Similarly, in ac-coupled operation for inactivity detection, a  
reference value is used for comparison and is updated whenever  
the device exceeds the inactivity threshold. After the reference  
value is selected, the device compares the magnitude of the  
difference between the reference value and the current acceleration  
with THRESH_INACT. If the difference is less than the value in  
THRESH_INACT for the time in TIME_INACT, the device is  
considered inactive and the inactivity interrupt is triggered.  
Register 0x23—Window (Read/Write)  
The window register is eight bits and contains an unsigned time  
value representing the amount of time after the expiration of the  
latency time (determined by the latent register) during which a  
second valid tap can begin. The scale factor is 1.25 ms/LSB. A  
value of 0 disables the double tap function.  
Register 0x24—THRESH_ACT (Read/Write)  
The THRESH_ACT register is eight bits and holds the threshold  
value for detecting activity. The data format is unsigned,  
therefore, the magnitude of the activity event is compared  
with the value in the THRESH_ACT register. The scale factor  
is 62.5 mg/LSB. A value of 0 may result in undesirable behavior  
if the activity interrupt is enabled.

ACT_x Enable Bits and INACT_x Enable Bits  
Asleep Bit  
A setting of 1 enables x-, y-, or z-axis participation in detecting  
activity or inactivity. A setting of 0 excludes the selected axis from  
participation. If all axes are excluded, the function is disabled.  
For activity detection, all participating axes are logically ORed,  
causing the activity function to trigger when any of the partici-  
pating axes exceeds the threshold. For inactivity detection, all  
participating axes are logically ANDed, causing the inactivity  
function to trigger only if all participating axes are below the  
threshold for the specified time.  
A setting of 1 in the asleep bit indicates that the part is  
asleep, and a setting of 0 indicates that the part is not asleep.  
This bit toggles only if the device is configured for auto sleep.  
See the AUTO_SLEEP Bit section for more information on  
autosleep mode.

A setting of 0 in the LOW_POWER bit selects normal operation,  
and a setting of 1 selects reduced power operation, which has  
somewhat higher noise (see the Power Modes section for details).  
The THRESH_FF register is eight bits and holds the threshold  
value, in unsigned format, for free-fall detection. The acceleration on  
all axes is compared with the value in THRESH_FF to determine if  
a free-fall event occurred. The scale factor is 62.5 mg/LSB. Note  
that a value of 0 mg may result in undesirable behavior if the free-  
fall interrupt is enabled. Values between 300 mg and 600 mg  
(0x05 to 0x09) are recommended.  
Rate Bits  
These bits select the device bandwidth and output data rate (see  
Table 7 and Table 8 for details). The default value is 0x0A, which  
translates to a 100 Hz output data rate. An output data rate should  
be selected that is appropriate for the communication protocol  
and frequency selected. Selecting too high of an output data rate with  
a low communication speed results in samples being discarded.  
Register 0x29—TIME_FF (Read/Write)  
The TIME_FF register is eight bits and stores an unsigned time  
value representing the minimum time that the value of all axes  
must be less than THRESH_FF to generate a free-fall interrupt.  
The scale factor is 5 ms/LSB. A value of 0 may result in undesirable  
behavior if the free-fall interrupt is enabled. Values between 100 ms  
and 350 ms (0x14 to 0x46) are recommended.

A setting of 1 in the link bit with both the activity and inactivity

inactivity is detected. After activity is detected, inactivity detection  
begins, preventing the detection of activity. This bit serially links  
the activity and inactivity functions. When this bit is set to 0,  
the inactivity and activity functions are concurrent. Additional

Suppress Bit  
Setting the suppress bit suppresses double tap detection if

between taps. See the Tap Detection section for more details.  
When clearing the link bit, it is recommended that the part be  
placed into standby mode and then set back to measurement  
mode with a subsequent write. This is done to ensure that the  
device is properly biased if sleep mode is manually disabled;  
otherwise, the first few samples of data after the link bit is cleared  
may have additional noise, especially if the device was asleep  
when the bit was cleared.  
TAP_x Enable Bits  
A setting of 1 in the TAP_X enable, TAP_Y enable, or TAP_Z

If the link bit is set, a setting of 1 in the AUTO_SLEEP bit enables  
the auto-sleep functionality. In this mode, the ADXL343 auto-  
matically switches to sleep mode if the inactivity function is  
enabled and inactivity is detected (that is, when acceleration is  
below the THRESH_INACT value for at least the time indicated  
by TIME_INACT). If activity is also enabled, the ADXL343  
automatically wakes up from sleep after detecting activity and  
returns to operation at the output data rate set in the BW_RATE  
register. A setting of 0 in the AUTO_SLEEP bit disables automatic  
switching to sleep mode. See the description of the Sleep Bit in  
this section for more information on sleep mode.  
ACT_x Source and TAP_x Source Bits  
These bits indicate the first axis involved in a tap or activity  
event. A setting of 1 corresponds to involvement in the event,  
and a setting of 0 corresponds to no involvement. When new  
data is available, these bits are not cleared but are overwritten by  
the new data. The ACT_TAP_STATUS register should be read  
before clearing the interrupt. Disabling an axis from participation  
clears the corresponding source bit when the next activity or  
single tap/double tap event occurs.

When clearing the AUTO_SLEEP bit, it is recommended that the  
part be placed into standby mode and then set back to measure-  
ment mode with a subsequent write. This is done to ensure that  
the device is properly biased if sleep mode is manually disabled;  
otherwise, the first few samples of data after the AUTO_SLEEP  
bit is cleared may have additional noise, especially if the device  
was asleep when the bit was cleared.  
Setting bits in this register to a value of 1 enables their respective  
functions to generate interrupts, whereas a value of 0 prevents  
the functions from generating interrupts. The DATA_READY,  
watermark, and overrun bits enable only the interrupt output;  
the functions are always enabled. It is recommended that interrupts  
be configured before enabling their outputs.  
Measure Bit  
Register 0x2F—INT_MAP (Read/Write)  
A setting of 0 in the measure bit places the part into standby mode,  
and a setting of 1 places the part into measurement mode. The  
ADXL343 powers up in standby mode with minimum power  
consumption.

Sleep Bit  
Any bits set to 0 in this register send their respective interrupts to  
the INT1 pin, whereas bits set to 1 send their respective interrupts  
to the INT2 pin. All selected interrupts for a given pin are ORed.  
A setting of 0 in the sleep bit puts the part into the normal mode  
of operation, and a setting of 1 places the part into sleep mode.  
Sleep mode suppresses DATA_READY, stops transmission of data  
to FIFO, and switches the sampling rate to one specified by the  
wakeup bits. In sleep mode, only the activity function can be used.  
When the DATA_READY interrupt is suppressed, the output  
data registers (Register 0x32 to Register 0x37) are still updated  
at the sampling rate set by the wakeup bits (D1:D0).

Bits set to 1 in this register indicate that their respective functions  
have triggered an event, whereas a value of 0 indicates that the  
corresponding event has not occurred. The DATA_READY,  
watermark, and overrun bits are always set if the corresponding  
events occur, regardless of the INT_ENABLE register settings,  
and are cleared by reading data from the DATAX, DATAY, and  
DATAZ registers. The DATA_READY and watermark bits may  
require multiple reads, as indicated in the FIFO mode descriptions  
in the FIFO section. Other bits, and the corresponding interrupts,  
are cleared by reading the INT_SOURCE register.  
When clearing the sleep bit, it is recommended that the part be  
placed into standby mode and then set back to measurement  
mode with a subsequent write. This is done to ensure that the  
device is properly biased if sleep mode is manually disabled;  
otherwise, the first few samples of data after the sleep bit is  
cleared may have additional noise, especially if the device was  
asleep when the bit was cleared.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING  
TAP DETECTION  
The tap interrupt function is capable of detecting either single  
or double taps. The following parameters are shown in Figure 36  
for a valid single and valid double tap event:  
A 1 µF tantalum capacitor (CS) at VS and a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor  
(CI/O) at VDD I/O placed close to the ADXL343 supply pins is  
recommended to adequately decouple the accelerometer from  
noise on the power supply. If additional decoupling is necessary,  
a resistor or ferrite bead, no larger than 100 Ω, in series with VS  
may be helpful. Additionally, increasing the bypass capacitance  
on VS to a 10 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 µF  
ceramic capacitor may also improve noise.  
The tap detection threshold is defined by the THRESH_TAP  
register (Address 0x1D).  
The maximum tap duration time is defined by the DUR  
register (Address 0x21).  
The tap latency time is defined by the latent register  
(Address 0x22) and is the waiting period from the end  
of the first tap until the start of the time window, when a  
second tap can be detected, which is determined by the  
value in the window register (Address 0x23).  
Care should be taken to ensure that the connection from the  
ADXL343 ground to the power supply ground has low impedance  
because noise transmitted through ground has an effect similar  
to noise transmitted through VS. It is recommended that VS and  
V
DD I/O be separate supplies to minimize digital clocking noise  
The interval after the latency time (set by the latent register) is  
defined by the window register. Although a second tap must  
begin after the latency time has expired, it need not finish  
before the end of the time defined by the window register.

MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR MOUNTING  
The ADXL343 should be mounted on the PCB in a location  
close to a hard mounting point of the PCB to the case. Mounting  
the ADXL343 at an unsupported PCB location, as shown in  
Figure 35, may result in large, apparent measurement errors  
due to undampened PCB vibration. Locating the accelerometer  
near a hard mounting point ensures that any PCB vibration at  
the accelerometer is above the accelerometer’s mechanical sensor  
resonant frequency and, therefore, effectively invisible to the  
accelerometer. Multiple mounting points close to the sensor  
and/or a thicker PCB also help to reduce the effect of system  
resonance on the performance of the sensor.

Figure 36. Tap Interrupt Function with Valid Single and Double Taps  
If only the single tap function is in use, the single tap interrupt  
is triggered when the acceleration goes below the threshold, as  
long as DUR has not been exceeded. If both single and double  
tap functions are in use, the single tap interrupt is triggered  
when the double tap event has been either validated or  
invalidated.

Several events can occur to invalidate the second tap of a double  
tap event. First, if the suppress bit in the TAP_AXES register  
(Address 0x2A) is set, any acceleration spike above the threshold  
during the latency time (set by the latent register) invalidates  
the double tap detection, as shown in Figure 37.  
Single taps, double taps, or both can be detected by setting the  
respective bits in the INT_ENABLE register (Address 0x2E).  
Control over participation of each of the three axes in single tap/  
double tap detection is exerted by setting the appropriate bits in  
the TAP_AXES register (Address 0x2A). For the double tap  
function to operate, both the latent and window registers must  
be set to a nonzero value.  
INVALIDATES DOUBLE TAP IF  
SUPRESS BIT SET  
Every mechanical system has somewhat different single tap/  
double tap responses based on the mechanical characteristics of  
the system. Therefore, some experimentation with values for the  
DUR, latent, window, and THRESH_TAP registers is required.  
In general, a good starting point is to set the DUR register to a  
value greater than 0x10 (10 ms), the latent register to a value greater  
than 0x10 (20 ms), the window register to a value greater than  
0x40 (80 ms), and the THRESH_TAP register to a value greater  
than 0x30 (3 g). Setting a very low value in the latent, window, or  
THRESH_TAP register may result in an unpredictable response  
due to the accelerometer picking up echoes of the tap inputs.

When the Suppress Bit Is Set  
A double tap event can also be invalidated if acceleration above  
the threshold is detected at the start of the time window for the  
second tap (set by the window register). This results in an invalid  
double tap at the start of this window, as shown in Figure 38.  
Additionally, a double tap event can be invalidated if an accel-  
eration exceeds the time limit for taps (set by the DUR register),  
resulting in an invalid double tap at the end of the DUR time  
limit for the second tap event, also shown in Figure 38.  
After a tap interrupt has been received, the first axis to exceed  
the THRESH_TAP level is reported in the ACT_TAP_STATUS  
register (Address 0x2B). This register is never cleared but is  
overwritten with new data.  
THRESHOLD  
The lower output data rates are achieved by decimating a common  
sampling frequency inside the device. The activity, free-fall, and  
single tap/double tap detection functions without improved tap  
enabled are performed using undecimated data. Because the  
bandwidth of the output data varies with the data rate and is  
lower than the bandwidth of the undecimated data, the high  
frequency and high g data that is used to determine activity,  
free-fall, and single tap/double tap events may not be present  
if the output of the accelerometer is examined. This may result  
in functions triggering when acceleration data does not appear  
to meet the conditions set by the user for the corresponding  
function.

The function of the link bit is to reduce the number of activity  
interrupts that the processor must service by setting the device  
to look for activity only after inactivity. For proper operation of  
this feature, the processor must still respond to the activity and  
inactivity interrupts by reading the INT_SOURCE register  
(Address 0x30) and, therefore, clearing the interrupts. If an activity  
interrupt is not cleared, the part cannot go into autosleep mode.

ADXL3ꢀ3  
Data Sheet  
The values measured for X0g and Y0g correspond to the x- and y-axis  
offset, and compensation is done by subtracting those values from  
the output of the accelerometer to obtain the actual acceleration:  
SLEEP MODE VS. LOW POWER MODE  
In applications where a low data rate and low power consumption  
is desired (at the expense of noise performance), it is recommended  
that low power mode be used. The use of low power mode preserves  
the functionality of the DATA_READY interrupt and FIFO for  
postprocessing of the acceleration data. Sleep mode, while  
offering a low data rate and power consumption, is not intended  
for data acquisition.  
X
ACTUAL = XMEAS X0g  
YACTUAL = YMEAS Y0g  
Because the z-axis measurement was done in a +1 g field, a no-turn  
or single-point calibration scheme assumes an ideal sensitivity,  
SZ for the z-axis. This is subtracted from Z+1g to attain the z-axis  
offset, which is then subtracted from future measured values to  
obtain the actual value:  
However, when sleep mode is used in conjunction with the  
AUTO_SLEEP mode and the link mode, the part can automatically  
switch to a low power, low sampling rate mode when inactivity  
is detected. To prevent the generation of redundant inactivity  
interrupts, the inactivity interrupt is automatically disabled  
and activity is enabled. When the ADXL343 is in sleep mode, the  
host processor can also be placed into sleep mode or low power  
mode to save significant system power. When activity is detected,  
the accelerometer automatically switches back to the original  
data rate of the application and provides an activity interrupt  
that can be used to wake up the host processor. Similar to when  
inactivity occurs, detection of activity events is disabled and  
inactivity is enabled.  
Z0g = Z+1g SZ  
ZACTUAL = ZMEAS Z0g  
The ADXL343 can automatically compensate the output for offset  
by using the offset registers (Register 0x1E, Register 0x1F, and  
Register 0x20). These registers contain an 8-bit, twos complement  
value that is automatically added to all measured acceleration  
values, and the result is then placed into the DATA registers.  
Because the value placed in an offset register is additive, a negative  
value is placed into the register to eliminate a positive offset and  
vice versa for a negative offset. The register has a scale factor of  
15.6 mg/LSB and is independent of the selected g-range.  
OFFSET CALIBRATION  
As an example, assume that the ADXL343 is placed into full-  
resolution mode with a sensitivity of typically 256 LSB/g. The  
part is oriented such that the z-axis is in the field of gravity and  
x-, y-, and z-axis outputs are measured as +10 LSB, −13 LSB,  
and +9 LSB, respectively. Using the previous equations, X0g is  
+10 LSB, Y0g is −13 LSB, and Z0g is +9 LSB. Each LSB of output  
in full-resolution is 3.9 mg or one-quarter of an LSB of the  
offset register. Because the offset register is additive, the 0 g  
values are negated and rounded to the nearest LSB of the offset  
register:  
Accelerometers are mechanical structures containing elements  
that are free to move. These moving parts can be very sensitive  
to mechanical stresses, much more so than solid-state electronics.  
The 0 g bias or offset is an important accelerometer metric because  
it defines the baseline for measuring acceleration. Additional  
stresses can be applied during assembly of a system containing  
an accelerometer. These stresses can come from, but are not  
limited to, component soldering, board stress during mounting,  
and application of any compounds on or over the component. If  
calibration is deemed necessary, it is recommended that calibration  
be performed after system assembly to compensate for these effects.  
X
OFFSET = −Round(10/4) = −3 LSB  
A simple method of calibration is to measure the offset while  
assuming that the sensitivity of the ADXL343 is as specified in  
Table 1. The offset can then be automatically accounted for by  
using the built-in offset registers. This results in the data acquired  
from the DATA registers already compensating for any offset.  
Y
OFFSET = −Round(−13/4) = 3 LSB  
OFFSET = −Round(9/4) = −2 LSB  
Z
These values are programmed into the OFSX, OFSY, and OFXZ  
registers, respectively, as 0xFD, 0x03, and 0xFE. As with all  
registers in the ADXL343, the offset registers do not retain the  
value written into them when power is removed from the part.  
Power-cycling the ADXL343 returns the offset registers to their  
default value of 0x00.  
In a no-turn or single-point calibration scheme, the part is oriented  
such that one axis, typically the z-axis, is in the 1 g field of gravity  
and the remaining axes, typically the x- and y-axis, are in a 0 g  
field. The output is then measured by taking the average of a  
series of samples. The number of samples averaged is a choice of  
the system designer, but a recommended starting point is 0.1 sec  
worth of data for data rates of 100 Hz or greater. This corresponds  
to 10 samples at the 100 Hz data rate. For data rates less than  
100 Hz, it is recommended that at least 10 samples be averaged  
together. These values are stored as X0g, Y0g, and Z+1g for the 0 g  
measurements on the x- and y-axis and the 1 g measurement on  
the z-axis, respectively.  
Because the no-turn or single-point calibration method assumes an  
ideal sensitivity in the z-axis, any error in the sensitivity results in  
offset error. For instance, if the actual sensitivity was 250 LSB/g  
in the previous example, the offset would be 15 LSB, not 9 LSB.  
To help minimize this error, an additional measurement point  
can be used with the z-axis in a 0 g field and the 0 g measurement  
can be used in the ZACTUAL equation.

ADXL3ꢀ3  
Next, self-test should be enabled by setting Bit D7 (SELF_TEST) of  
the DATA_FORMAT register (Address 0x31). The output needs  
some time (about four samples) to settle after enabling self-test.  
After allowing the output to settle, several samples of the x-, y-,  
and z-axis acceleration data should be taken again and averaged. It  
is recommended that the same number of samples be taken for  
this average as was previously taken. These averaged values should  
again be stored and labeled appropriately as the value with self-  
test enabled, that is, XST_ON, YST_ON, and ZST_ON. Self-test can then be  
disabled by clearing Bit D7 (SELF_TEST) of the DATA_FORMAT  
register (Address 0x31).  
USING SELF-TEST  
The self-test change is defined as the difference between the  
acceleration output of an axis with self-test enabled and the  
acceleration output of the same axis with self-test disabled (see  
Endnote 4 of Table 1). This definition assumes that the sensor  
does not move between these two measurements. If the sensor  
moves, the additional shift, which is unrelated to self-test,  
corrupts the test.  
Proper configuration of the ADXL343 is also necessary for an  
accurate self-test measurement. The part should be set with a  
data rate of 100 Hz through 800 Hz, or 3200 Hz. This is done by  
ensuring that a value of 0x0A through 0x0D, or 0x0F is written  
into the rate bits (Bit D3 through Bit D0) in the BW_RATE  
register (Address 0x2C). The part also must be placed into  
normal power operation by ensuring the LOW_POWER bit in  
the BW_RATE register is cleared (LOW_POWER bit = 0) for  
accurate self-test measurements. It is recommended that the  
part be set to full-resolution, 16 g mode to ensure that there is  
sufficient dynamic range for the entire self-test shift. This is done  
by setting Bit D3 of the DATA_FORMAT register (Address 0x31)  
and writing a value of 0x03 to the range bits (Bit D1 and Bit D0) of  
the DATA_FORMAT register (Address 0x31). This results in a high  
dynamic range for measurement and a 3.9 mg/LSB scale factor.  
With the stored values for self-test enabled and disabled, the  
self-test change is as follows:  
X
ST = XST_ON XST_OFF  
Y
ST = YST_ON YST_OFF  
ST = ZST_ON ZST_OFF  
Z
Because the measured output for each axis is expressed in LSBs,  
XST, YST, and ZST are also expressed in LSBs. These values can be  
converted to gs of acceleration by multiplying each value by the  
3.9 mg/LSB scale factor, if configured for full-resolution mode.  
Additionally, Table 15 through Table 18 correspond to the self-test  
range converted to LSBs and can be compared with the measured  
self-test change when operating at a VS of 2.5 V. For other voltages,  
the minimum and maximum self-test output values should be  
adjusted based on (multiplied by) the scale factors shown in  
Table 14. If the part was placed into 2 g, 10-bit or full-resolution  
mode, the values listed in Table 15 should be used. Although  
the fixed 10-bit mode or a range other than 16 g can be used, a  
different set of values, as indicated in Table 16 through Table 18,  
would need to be used. Using a range below 8 g may result in  
insufficient dynamic range and should be considered when  
selecting the range of operation for measuring self-test.  
After the part is configured for accurate self-test measurement,  
several samples of x-, y-, and z-axis acceleration data should be  
retrieved from the sensor and averaged together. The number  
of samples averaged is a choice of the system designer, but a  
recommended starting point is 0.1 sec worth of data for data  
rates of 100 Hz or greater. This corresponds to 10 samples at  
the 100 Hz data rate. For data rates less than 100 Hz, it is  
recommended that at least 10 samples be averaged together. The  
averaged values should be stored and labeled appropriately as  
the self-test disabled data, that is, XST_OFF, YST_OFF, and ZST_OFF  
.
If the self-test change is within the valid range, the test is considered  
successful. Generally, a part is considered to pass if the minimum  
magnitude of change is achieved. However, a part that changes  
by more than the maximum magnitude is not necessarily a failure.  
Another effective method for using the self-test to verify accel-  
erometer functionality is to toggle the self-test at a certain rate  
and then perform an FFT on the output. The FFT should have a  
corresponding tone at the frequency the self-test was toggled.  
Using an FFT like this removes the dependency of the test on  
supply voltage and on self-test magnitude, which can vary within  
a rather wide range.

For a range of 2 g, the LSB is Bit D6 of the DATAx0 register;  
for 4 g, Bit D5 of the DATAx0 register; for 8 g, Bit D4 of the  
DATAx0 register; and for 16 g, Bit D3 of the DATAx0 register.  
This is shown in Figure 40.  
DATA FORMATTING OF UPPER DATA RATES  
Formatting of output data at the 3200 Hz and 1600 Hz output  
data rates changes depending on the mode of operation (full-  
resolution or fixed 10-bit) and the selected output range.  
The use of 3200 Hz and 1600 Hz output data rates for fixed  
10-bit operation in the 4 g, 8 g, and 16 g output ranges  
provides an LSB that is valid and that changes according to the  
applied acceleration. Therefore, in these modes of operation,  
Bit D0 is not always 0 when output data is right justified and  
Bit D6 is not always 0 when output data is left justified.  
Operation at any data rate of 800 Hz or lower also provides  
a valid LSB in all ranges and modes that changes according  
to the applied acceleration.  
When using the 3200 Hz or 1600 Hz output data rates in full-  
resolution or 2 g, 10-bit operation, the LSB of the output data-  
word is always 0. When data is right justified, this corresponds  
to Bit D0 of the DATAx0 register, as shown in Figure 39. When  
data is left justified and the part is operating in 2 g, 10-bit mode,  
the LSB of the output data-word is Bit D6 of the DATAx0 register.  
In full-resolution operation when data is left justified, the location  
of the LSB changes according to the selected output range.

NOISE PERFORMANCE

The specification of noise shown in Table 1 corresponds to  
the typical noise performance of the ADXL343 in normal power  
operation with an output data rate of 100 Hz (LOW_POWER bit  
(D4) = 0, rate bits (D3:D0) = 0xA in the BW_RATE register,  
Address 0x2C). For normal power operation at data rates below  
100 Hz, the noise of the ADXL343 is equivalent to the noise at  
100 Hz ODR in LSBs. For data rates greater than 100 Hz, the  
noise increases roughly by a factor of √2 per doubling of the data  
rate. For example, at 400 Hz ODR, the noise on the x- and y-axes  
is typically less than 1.5 LSB rms, and the noise on the z-axis is  
typically less than 2.2 LSB rms.

For low power operation (LOW_POWER bit (D4) = 1 in the  
BW_RATE register, Address 0x2C), the noise of the ADXL343  
is constant for all valid data rates shown in Table 8. This value is  
typically less than 1.8 LSB rms for the x- and y-axes and typically  
less than 2.6LSB rms for the z-axis.

Figure 42 shows the typical Allan deviation for the ADXL343.  
The 1/f corner of the device, as shown in this figure, is very low,  
allowing absolute resolution of approximately 100 µg (assuming  
that there is sufficient integration time). Figure 42 also shows  
that the noise density is 290 µg/√Hz for the x-axis and y-axis  
and 430 µg/√Hz for the z-axis.

Figure 43 shows the typical noise performance trend of the  
ADXL343 over supply voltage. The performance is normalized  
to the tested and specified supply voltage, VS = 2.5 V. In general,  
noise decreases as supply voltage is increased. It should be noted, as  
shown in Figure 41, that the noise on the z-axis is typically higher  
than on the x-axis and y-axis; therefore, while they change roughly  
the same in percentage over supply voltage, the magnitude of change  
on the z-axis is greater than the magnitude of change on the  
x-axis and y-axis.

OPERATION AT VOLTAGES OTHER THAN 2.5 V  
The ADXL343 is tested and specified at a supply voltage of  
VS = 2.5 V; however, it can be powered with VS as high as 3.6 V  
or as low as 2.0 V. Some performance parameters change as the  
supply voltage changes: offset, sensitivity, noise, self-test, and  
supply current.  
5.0  
X-AXIS, LOW POWER  
4.5  
Y-AXIS, LOW POWER  
Due to slight changes in the electrostatic forces as supply voltage  
is varied, the offset and sensitivity change slightly. When operating  
at a supply voltage of VS = 3.3 V, the x- and y-axis offset is typically  
25 mg higher than at Vs = 2.5 V operation. The z-axis is typically  
20 mg lower when operating at a supply voltage of 3.3 V than when  
operating at VS = 2.5 V. Sensitivity on the x- and y-axes typically  
shifts from a nominal 256 LSB/g (full-resolution or 2 g, 10-bit  
operation) at VS = 2.5 V operation to 265 LSB/g when operating  
with a supply voltage of 3.3 V. The z-axis sensitivity is unaffected by  
a change in supply voltage and is the same at VS = 3.3 V operation  
as it is at VS = 2.5 V operation. Simple linear interpolation can be  
used to determine typical shifts in offset and sensitivity at other  
supply voltages.

Changes in noise performance, self-test response, and supply  
current are discussed elsewhere throughout the data sheet. For  
noise performance, the Noise Performance section should be  
reviewed. The Using Self-Test section discusses both the  
operation of self-test over voltage, a square relationship with  
supply voltage, as well as the conversion of the self-test response  
in gs to LSBs. Finally, Figure 23 shows the impact of supply  
voltage on typical current consumption at a 100 Hz output data  
rate, with all other output data rates following the same trend.

OFFSET PERFORMANCE AT LOWEST DATA RATES  
20  
The ADXL343 offers a large number of output data rates and  
bandwidths, designed for a large range of applications. However,  
at the lowest data rates, described as those data rates below 6.25 Hz,  
the offset performance over temperature can vary significantly  
from the remaining data rates. Figure 44, Figure 45, and Figure 46  
show the typical offset performance of the ADXL343 over  
temperature for the data rates of 6.25 Hz and lower. All plots  
are normalized to the offset at 100 Hz output data rate; therefore,  
a nonzero value corresponds to additional offset shift due to  
temperature for that data rate.

When using the lowest data rates, it is recommended that the  
operating temperature range of the device be limited to provide  
minimal offset shift across the operating temperature range.  
Due to variability between parts, it is also recommended that  
calibration over temperature be performed if any data rates  
below 6.25 Hz are in use.
