SparkFun Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout – MMA8452Q (with Headers) - I2C Digital Output
This SparkFun breakout board integrates the MMA8452Q, a low-power, three-axis capacitive MEMS accelerometer with 12-bit resolution, designed for easy connection to Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other 3.3V/5V microcontroller platforms via its pre-soldered headers and I2C interface.
Features
- Low-power capacitive MEMS accelerometer with 12-bit resolution and ±2g/±4g/±8g user-selectable full-scale ranges.
- I2C digital output interface (up to 2.25 MHz) with two programmable interrupt pins for efficient event-driven operation.
- Ultra-low current consumption from 6 µA to 165 µA, supporting output data rates from 1.56 Hz to 800 Hz.
- Integrated features include orientation (portrait/landscape) detection, high-pass filtered data, and three channels of motion detection.
- Breakout board includes pre-soldered male headers for immediate prototyping and system integration.

The SparkFun MMA8452Q breakout provides direct access to a sophisticated, three-axis capacitive MEMS accelerometer. The sensor delivers high-resolution 12-bit digital acceleration data across user-configurable ranges of ±2g, ±4g, and ±8g, making it suitable for applications from subtle tilt sensing to higher-impact motion detection. Its integrated high-pass filter allows for real-time isolation of dynamic acceleration events.
Designed for system efficiency, the MMA8452Q features two configurable interrupt pins and multiple embedded functions—including orientation and motion detection—enabling the host microcontroller to enter low-power sleep modes until a significant event occurs. The breakout board simplifies integration by providing pre-soldered headers for the I2C interface, power, ground, and interrupt lines, compatible with 1.6V to 3.6V logic levels.
