Qwiic Accelerometer - MMA8452Q

Qwiic Accelerometer - MMA8452Q

Discontinued

The Qwiic Accelerometer makes it easy to add tilt, acceleration, and movement sensing to your projects. Built around the NXP MMA8452Q — a smart, low-power, three-axis MEMS accelerometer with 12-bit resolution — it features dual Qwiic connectors for plug-and-play hookup with no soldering required.

The MMA8452Q includes embedded interrupt functions that allow it to monitor events autonomously and remain in a low-power mode during inactivity, saving overall system power by relieving the host processor from continuous polling.

Key Features

  • Selectable Range – ±2g / ±4g / ±8g dynamically configurable
  • 12-Bit & 8-Bit Output – High-resolution or fast digital output
  • Output Data Rates – 1.56 Hz to 800 Hz
  • Two Interrupt Pins – Programmable for six interrupt sources
  • Ultra-Low Power – 6 µA to 165 µA current consumption
  • Dual Qwiic Connectors – Daisy-chain multiple I²C devices
  • Disconnectable Pull-Ups – On-board I²C pull-up resistors with cut trace option
  • High-Pass Filter – Filtered and non-filtered data available in real time

Ideal For

  • Motion and orientation detection
  • Tilt sensing and pedometer projects
  • Vibration monitoring
  • Low-power wake-on-motion applications

Package Contents

  • 1× Qwiic Accelerometer - MMA8452Q Breakout
