You can reduce power consumption with the 'Instant Start' feature
Prevents unnecessary data transmission through local location analysis

Analog Devices has launched a next-generation accelerometer designed to monitor the physical condition of high-value assets over the long term.

The ADXL372 micropower high-g MEMS accelerometer, which achieves ultra-low power consumption, is a product focused on IoT solutions where shocks or collisions during storage, transportation, or use can adversely affect functionality, safety, and stability.

The ADXL372 accelerometer, an ultra-low-power MEMS sensor, enables significant reduction in standby power consumption by starting immediately and acquiring the full waveform through its 'instant-on' function. Since it requires only a low current of less than 2 microamperes while in standby for shock detection, the sensor can operate for several years on a single small battery when used in a motion detection-enabled system.



When the ADXL372 MEMS accelerometer is used in a remote edge node device for an IoT application, instantaneous events can be captured, classified by a processor at a local location, and then transmitted to the cloud or other data centers via a wireless link. It can reduce time and power consumption compared to analysis at a local location, and prevent unnecessary data transmission due to insignificant events.

The ADuCM4050 microcontroller is a new addition to the series of microcontrollers recently optimized for the Internet of Things, alongside the ADuCM3027 and ADuCM3029, which are other state-of-the-art microcontrollers. These products support ultra-low power consumption operating modes and hibernation modes, making them suitable for applications where power consumption, security, and durability are critical.
