An Energy-Efficient Solution by Freescale
Document Number: MMA8452Q
Rev. 5, 07/2012
3-Axis,
12-bit/8-bit
Digital Accelerometer
The MMA8452Q is a smart low-power, three-axis, capacitive micromachined
accelerometer with 12 bits 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 MMA8452Q has user selectable full scales of ±2g/±4g/±8g with high-pass
filter filtered data as well as non-filtered data available real-time. The device can
be configured to generate inertial wakeup interrupt signals from any combination
of the configurable embedded functions allowing the MMA8452Q to monitor
events and remain in a low power mode during periods of inactivity. The
MMA8452Q is available in a 3 mm by 3 mm by 1 mm QFN package.

The device power is supplied through VDD line. Power supply decoupling capacitors (100 nF ceramic plus 4.7 µF bulk, or a
single 4.7 µF ceramic) should be placed as near as possible to the pins 1 and 14 of the device.
The control signals SCL, SDA, and SA0 are not tolerant of voltages more than VDDIO + 0.3V. If VDDIO is removed, the control
signals SCL, SDA, and SA0 will clamp any logic signals with their internal ESD protection diodes.
The functions, the threshold and the timing of the two interrupt pins (INT1 and INT2) are user programmable through the I
2
C
interface. The SDA and SCL I
2
C connections are open drain and therefore require a pullup resistor as shown in the application
diagram in
Figure 4.
