MSA301 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MEMSENSING MSA301 is a compact and cost-effective triple axis accelerometer designed for motion sensing applications. It provides 14-bit resolution and supports selectable full-scale ranges of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g, and ±16g.

 

This accelerometer features an I2C interface with a fixed address of 0x26, multiple data rate options from 1 Hz to 500 Hz, and an interrupt output. It also includes advanced features such as tap, double-tap, orientation, and freefall detection. In low power mode, the chip consumes as little as 2µA.

 

The MSA301 is available on a breakout PCB supporting both 3.3V and 5V logic levels, and includes STEMMA QT connectors for solderless I2C connectivity. This makes it suitable for a wide range of development boards including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Feather.

 

Note: The MSA301 sensor has reached end-of-life and is no longer available. Adafruit suggests the Adafruit MSA311 Triple Axis Accelerometer for new projects.
