NORWOOD, Mass. -- (Business Wire)
Analog
Devices, Inc. today announced a next-generation accelerometer
designed for long-period monitoring of the physical condition of
high-value assets. With its extremely low power capabilities, the
ADXL372 micropower high-g MEMS accelerometer targets Internet of Things
(IoT) solutions where shock and impact on a unit during storage,
transit, or use would adversely affect its function, safety, or
reliability. Representative assets include materials inside shipping and
storage containers, factory machinery, and battery powered products
where there may be lengthy quiet periods punctuated by spontaneous,
severe impacts.

Analog Devices' Ultralow Power Accelerometer Enables Remote IoT Edge Nodes to Monitor Asset Health (Photo: Business Wire)
Unlike comparable sensors, this ultralow power MEMS sensor has an
"instant on" feature and can wake up immediately to acquire the entire
waveform, which significantly reduces standby power drain. The resulting
low current requirement of less than two microamps while waiting for an
impact typically yields years of operation from a single small battery
when the sensor is used in a motion-activated system. By using the
ADXL372 MEMS accelerometer as part of a remote edge-node device in an
IoT application, transient events can be captured and categorized by a
localized processor beforehand by being sent to the cloud or other data
center via a wireless link. Keeping the analysis localized saves power,
time, and prevents unnecessary transfer of data for an event that is
actually insignificant.
The wide bandwidth of 3200 Hz and dynamic range of ±200 gmake
it an excellent fit for a diverse set of asset health-monitoring
applications including monitoring of concussions for indication of
Traumatic Brain Injury in both athletes and military personnel.
The ADXL372, specified over the -40C to 105 ⁰C range, joins the
industry-leading ultralow power, low g ADXL362 MEMS accelerometer
as part of ADI’s broader ultralow power portfolio of sensors. Both the
ADXL372 and ADXL362 accelerometers interface seamlessly with the
ultralow power ADuCM4050 microcontroller, which was recently added to
the series of IoT-optimized microcontrollers. Other leading-edge
microcontrollers include the ADuCM3027 and ADuCM3029; all of these
devices feature both active and hibernate modes with ultralow power
demands, and target applications where power consumption, security, and
robustness are key requirements.
