Freescale's MMA7261Q, MMA6270Q and MMA6280Q g-Select Sensors

Freescale Semiconductor proudly announces the launch of two dual-axis 
acceleration sensors and one three-axis acceleration sensor that have 
the g-Select feature with multiple sensitivities for detecting: fall, 
tilt, motion, position, shock and vibration. The market unique 
MMA6280Q measures on the XZ axes, the new MMA7261Q measures on the XYZ 
axes and the new MMA6270Q measures on the XY axes. The g-select 
feature on all three sensors allows them to be designed into 
applications that need sensitivities ranging from 1.5g, 2g, 2.5g, 
3.3g, 4g, 6g, 6.7g and 10g.

These cost-effective sensors are perfect for designers who are 
developing dual- and triple-axes applications that could benefit from 
features that include a low operating current of 500 micro amps, a 
sleep mode of 3 micro amps, low-voltage operation from 2.2V-3.6V, a 
low, slim package profile of 6 mm x 6 mm x 1.45 mm QFN, high 
sensitivity of 800 mV/g @ 1.5 g, fast turn-on time and high-shock 
survivability.
