Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakouts

SparkFun Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakouts are simple Qwiic breakouts for the KX134 and KX132 digital accelerometers. These accelerometers are low-power and 16-bit resolution three-axis accelerometers and offer a 10kHz output data rate. The KX134 is capable of measuring ±8g/16g/32g/64g (user-selectable) and KX132 is capable of measuring ±2g/4g/8g/16g. The triple-axis accelerometers offer lower noise and improved linearity over the entire temperature range. These silicon micro-machined accelerometers feature a user-configurable 3-stage Advanced Data Path (ADP) consisting of a low-pass filter, low-pass/high-pass filter, and RMS calculation engine. The accelerometers feature internal voltage regulators that are used to maintain constant internal operating voltages over the 1.7V to 3.6V operating voltage range. This results in stable operating characteristics even if the supply voltage changes. The triple-axis accelerometer breakouts operate at the -40ºC to +105ºC temperature range. The KX-134 is ideal for high-g measurements and KX-132 is ideal for a wide range of acceleration measurements as well as high-speed applications such as vibration sensing and tap sensing.
