Battery-powered applications of accelerometers require the lowest power consumption for increased battery life. However, getting the lowest noise is also important to obtain desired performance. For standard accelerometer products, manufacturers always have these values set at predetermined levels. Kionix Inc. now provides flexibility for users of its latest accelerometers, including the KX022 (2x2mm) and KX023 (3x3mm).
With its FlexSet Performance Optimizer technology, Kionix enables system designers to set and dynamically adjust power and noise values to meet their system’s unique requirements and obtain optimal performance. Instead of a limited number of preset values, designers also have control of a wide range of switch selections and pull-down menus that provide a variety of operational configurations including the output data rate (ODR), sample averaging, operating modes, sample buffering, bandwidth, and more.
