Acceleration sensor BMA422
BMA422
Accelerometer
The triaxial BMA422 is an ultra-small, low-g acceleration sensor with digital interfaces, especially aiming for low-power consumer electronics applications. Accordingly, the BMA422 accelerator is the perfect match for various use cases such as gesture recognition, advanced power management or shock and freefall detection. BMA422 is able to detect significant motion, tilt and enables plug ’n’ play step counting in smartphones and wearable devices. Furthermore, the BMA422 is optimized to fulfill Android M low-power accelerometer requirements.
