Product details
Overview
ADXL313WACPZ-RL from Analog Devices is a 3-axis digital accelerometer with ±0.5 g to ±4 g user-selectable measurement range, 13-bit resolution at ±4 g, and ultralow power consumption (as low as 30 µA in measurement mode, 0.1 µA in standby). It delivers 150 µg/√Hz noise density on X/Y axes and integrates FIFO, activity/inactivity detection, and SPI/I²C interfaces - enabling high-accuracy tilt sensing and motion monitoring in automotive black boxes and hill-start aid systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADXL313WACPZ-RL datasheet, ADXL313WACPZ-RL pinout, ADXL313WACPZ-RL application, or ADXL313WACPZ-RL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5 mm × 5 mm × 1.45 mm LFCSP-32 package, −40°C to +105°C automotive-grade operating range, 1024 LSB/g fixed sensitivity, embedded FIFO for host load reduction, and dual interrupt outputs supporting motion-triggered wake-up in battery-constrained systems.
Technical Context
The ADXL313WACPZ-RL employs a polysilicon surface-micromachined capacitive sensor structure with phase-sensitive demodulation to convert acceleration into 16-bit two's complement digital output. Its internal architecture supports dynamic (shock/motion) and static (gravity/tilt) acceleration measurement with programmable bandwidth up to 1600 Hz (half the 3200 Hz ODR).
It implements three distinct low-power modes: autosleep (triggered by inactivity threshold and timer), low-power sampling (reduced internal clock rate), and standby (0.1 µA leakage). All modes preserve FIFO contents and allow full register access for configuration prior to measurement activation.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Measurement Range | User-selectable ±0.5 g / ±1 g / ±2 g / ±4 g via serial command - enables single-part flexibility across tilt-sensing and impact-detection applications. |
| Resolution & Sensitivity | Fixed 1024 LSB/g sensitivity; resolution scales from 10-bit (±0.5 g) to 13-bit (±4 g) - ensures consistent scaling and simplifies firmware calibration. |
| Noise Density | 150 µg/√Hz (X/Y), 250 µg/√Hz (Z) - supports <0.1° inclination resolution in static tilt sensing at 100 Hz ODR. |
| Power Consumption | 30 µA typical at 100 Hz ODR; 0.1 µA in standby - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on motion monitors. |
| Digital Interfaces | SPI (3-wire/4-wire, 5 MHz max) and I²C (100/400 kHz) - provides hardware compatibility with microcontrollers lacking dedicated accelerometers peripherals. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +105°C - qualified for under-hood automotive use including electronic parking brakes and hill start aid. |
| FIFO Depth | 32-level embedded FIFO - reduces host processor polling frequency and system-level power consumption during burst-acquisition scenarios. |
Pinout & Package
ADXL313WACPZ-RL is housed in a 5 mm × 5 mm × 1.45 mm, 32-lead LFCSP package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner adjacent to the marking dot; the exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 3, 4) | Ground reference | Three dedicated ground pins minimize impedance and improve noise immunity for analog and digital sections. |
| VS (Pin 5) | Analog supply input | 2.0 V–3.6 V main supply; powers internal sensor and signal chain - independent of interface voltage. |
| CS (Pin 6) | Chip select / I²C enable | Drives SPI mode when controlled by master; ties high to VDD I/O to enable I²C - no floating state allowed. |
| INT1 / INT2 (Pins 20, 21) | Configurable interrupt outputs | Open-drain outputs mappable to activity, inactivity, DATA_READY, watermark, or overrun events - enable autonomous wake-up without host polling. |
| SDO/ALT ADDRESS (Pin 23) | Data output / I²C address select | Provides SPI 3-wire data output; selects I²C address 0x1D (pull-high) or 0x53 (pull-low) - eliminates address conflicts on shared buses. |
| SDA/SDI/SDIO (Pin 24) | Bi-directional serial data | Shared pin for I²C SDA, SPI 4-wire SDI, or SPI 3-wire SDIO - reduces PCB routing complexity. |
| SCL/SCLK (Pin 26) | Clock input | Accepts I²C SCL or SPI SCLK - supports both protocols with identical timing constraints (CPOL=1, CPHA=1 for SPI). |
| VDD I/O (Pin 31) | Digital interface supply | 1.7 V–VS range; decouples logic-level compatibility from analog supply - allows interfacing with 1.8 V or 3.3 V controllers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow power scaling | Current automatically adjusts with output data rate (30 µA at 100 Hz, 0.1 µA standby) - eliminates manual power-state management in firmware. |
| Embedded 32-level FIFO | Stores sequential acceleration samples without host intervention - enables burst-mode acquisition and reduces CPU wake-ups by >90% in event-driven logging. |
| User-selectable resolution | 10-bit to 13-bit resolution tied to g-range selection - maintains optimal SNR across full scale without software gain compensation. |
| Activity/inactivity detection | Dual independent thresholds per axis with programmable time windows - detects vehicle motion or stationary state for automatic system sleep/wake transitions. |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (−40°C to +105°C) and 10,000 g shock survival - meets reliability requirements for safety-critical chassis control subsystems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-axis digital accelerometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADXL312WACPZ-RL | Pin-compatible predecessor; identical 32-lead LFCSP package and register map but lacks ±0.5 g range and 13-bit resolution at ±4 g. | Lower resolution (max 12-bit) and higher noise (200 µg/√Hz) limit tilt accuracy to ~0.2° - suitable only where cost is prioritized over precision. | Select ADXL312WACPZ-RL only if legacy design reuse or lower BOM cost outweighs need for sub-0.1° inclination resolution. |
| LSM6DSOXTR | 6-axis IMU (3-axis accel + 3-axis gyro); 2.5 V–3.6 V supply; 1.7 mA active current vs. 30 µA for ADXL313WACPZ-RL. | Integrated gyroscope enables full attitude estimation but increases power and complexity - unnecessary for pure tilt/motion detection. | Choose LSM6DSOXTR only when angular rate data is required alongside acceleration; otherwise ADXL313WACPZ-RL offers superior power efficiency and simpler integration. |
Compared with ADXL312WACPZ-RL, ADXL313WACPZ-RL adds ±0.5 g range and 13-bit resolution for enhanced low-g sensitivity, while versus LSM6DSOXTR it delivers 57× lower active current and eliminates gyro-related calibration overhead - making it optimal for battery-powered automotive motion triggers and static tilt sensing.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the ADXL313WACPZ-RL?
The ADXL313WACPZ-RL is rated for −40°C to +105°C operation and qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2 standards. This range covers under-hood and cabin-mounted automotive applications including hill start aid and electronic parking brake control units. The device maintains specified bias drift (±125 mg over temperature) and noise performance across this full range, ensuring consistent tilt and motion detection accuracy.
Does the ADXL313WACPZ-RL support both SPI and I²C interfaces simultaneously?
No, the ADXL313WACPZ-RL supports SPI and I²C interfaces separately - interface selection is determined by the CS pin state. When CS is driven low by the host, SPI mode is active; when CS is tied high to VDD I/O, I²C mode is enabled. Both protocols share pins SDA/SDI/SDIO (Pin 24) and SCL/SCLK (Pin 26), so hardware design must isolate bus contention by ensuring only one interface is enabled per system configuration.
How does the FIFO function in the ADXL313WACPZ-RL reduce host processor load?
The ADXL313WACPZ-RL features a 32-level FIFO that autonomously stores X/Y/Z acceleration samples without host intervention. Instead of polling registers at high frequency, the host reads multiple samples in one SPI or I²C transaction after FIFO watermark or DATA_READY interrupt triggers. This cuts communication overhead by up to 90%, lowers average system power, and simplifies firmware - especially valuable in battery-powered automotive event loggers and alarm systems.
What is the significance of the 1024 LSB/g sensitivity specification for the ADXL313WACPZ-RL?
The 1024 LSB/g sensitivity is a fixed, g-range-independent scaling factor in the ADXL313WACPZ-RL's full-resolution mode. It means each g of acceleration produces exactly 1024 digital counts regardless of whether the range is set to ±0.5 g, ±1 g, ±2 g, or ±4 g. This eliminates per-range gain recalibration in firmware and enables consistent data interpretation across dynamic operating conditions - critical for automotive applications like hill start aid where range switching occurs during operation.
Can the ADXL313WACPZ-RL detect both static tilt and dynamic shock events?
Yes, the ADXL313WACPZ-RL measures both static acceleration (e.g., gravity for tilt sensing) and dynamic acceleration (e.g., vehicle crash or pothole impact) within its ±0.5 g to ±4 g selectable ranges. Its 3200 Hz maximum output data rate and 1600 Hz bandwidth support high-frequency shock capture, while its low noise (150 µg/√Hz) and high resolution (13-bit at ±4 g) enable detection of inclination changes as small as 0.025° - fulfilling dual roles in automotive black boxes and electronic stability control subsystems.
