Tiny Triaxial Accelerometer Features TEDS Capabilities And Hybrid Electronics

Weighing just 5.5g, the 66Axx is reported as the industry’s smallest, piezoelectric triaxial accelerometer to provide TEDS capabilities. The integrated TEDS feature provides digital identification communication that is IEEE P1451.4-compliant between an integrated signal conditioner and the accelerometer. The tiny accelerometer uses an annular shear-sensing element, and the device’s output is via a four-pin receptacle. The 66Axx includes three stand-alone, hybrid signal conditioners, each operating in a two-wire system. Low impedance voltage outputs are connected to the same cable that supplies constant-current power. Optionally, a factory installed outer case can be used for ground isolation. The accelerometer is available in 5 mV/g (66A50), 10 mV/g (66A11), and 100 mV/g (66A12) configurations. ENDEVCO, San Juan Capistrano, CA. (949) 493-8181.
