S L ( 4 For normal power operation at data rates below 100 Hz, the noise E IS of the ADXL346 is equivalent to the noise at 100 Hz ODR in NO 3 LSBs. For data rates greater than 100 Hz, the noise increases UT P approximately by a factor of √2 per doubling of the data rate. UT 2O For example, at 400 Hz ODR, the noise on the x- and y-axes is 1 typically less than 2 LSB rms, and the noise on the z-axis is 147 typically less than 3 LSB rms. 0 08167- 3.13 6.25 12.502550100200400800 1600 3200 For low power operation (LOW_POWER bit = 1 in the BW_RATE OUTPUT DATA RATE (Hz) register, Address 0x2C), the noise of the ADXL346 is constant Figure 54. Noise vs. Output Data Rate for Normal and Low Power Modes, for all valid data rates shown in Table 8. This value is typically Full Resolution (256 LSB/g) less than 2.83 LSB rms for the x- and y-axes and typically less 10k than 4.25 LSB rms for the z-axis.

TION The 1/f corner of the device, as shown in this figure, is very low, IA V allowing absolute resolution of approximately 100 µg (assuming AN DE that there is sufficient integration time). The figure also shows L 100 AL that the noise density is 420 µg/√Hz for the x- and y-axes and 530 µg/√Hz for the z-axis. 148 Figure 56 shows the typical noise performance trend of the 10 08167- ADXL346 over supply voltage.

The x-axis offers the best noise performance over supply voltage, increasing by Figure 55.

It should be noted, as shown in Figure 54, Z-AXISN D that the noise on the z-axis is typical y higher than that on the 130LIZE y-axis; therefore, although the noise on the z- and y-axes change A M roughly the same in percentage over supply voltage, the magnitude 120OR of change on the z-axis is greater than the magnitude of change OF N on the y-axis. 110GE A TEN C 100PER 149 90 08167- 1.61.82.02.22.42.62.8SUPPLY VOLTAGE, VS (V) Figure 56.
