TWRPI-MMA845XQ

The TWRPI-MMA845XQ is a tower system plug in module for MMA8451Q accelerometer. The MMA8451Q is a smart low power, three axis capacitive micro machined accelerometer with 14bits of resolution. This accelerometer is packed with embedded functions with flexible user programmable options, configurable to two interrupt pins. Embedded interrupt functions allow for overall power savings relieving the host processor from continuously polling data. The TWRPI-MMA845XQ accelerometer quite literally accelerates design time. It has MMA8451Q Xtrinsic three axis accelerometer with 14bits of resolution and brings freefall/motion, pulse and jolt detection to life in designs. Simply place the TWRPI-MMA845XQ Xtrinsic accelerometer plug in onto a parent controller or peripheral module in the tower system and start prototyping quickly and easily.
