Smart accessory for a healthy lifestyle
integrates ADXL362 MEMS accelerometer for high performance, longer
battery life.
Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI), a global leader in
high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications,
announced today that the ADXL362 MEMS accelerometer is integrated
into the Pulse activity tracker developed by Withings, a company
that creates smart products and apps to help people easily take
care of their health and well-being. The Pulse activity tracker is
a pocket-sized tool designed to help users to achieve their
personal health and fitness goals. It offers a range of monitoring
features, from tracking the number of steps and the distance
traveled, to calculating the number of calories burned, measuring
heart rate and detecting the quality of sleep. Watch a video about
the ADXL362 low power accelerometer:

“The Withings Pulse activity tracker lets you understand and
analyze your fitness, and that’s the first step to improving it.
The quality of Analog Devices’ MEMS motion sensing technology that
we’ve managed to fit into this tiny device and the exceptional
battery life it provides makes it the perfect companion for a
healthy lifestyle,” said Eric Carreel, president and co-founder of
Withings.
Withings needed technology that offered a high performance
solution combined with ultra-low power consumption for a longer
battery life and enhanced user autonomy. As the industry’s lowest
power MEMS accelerometer, the Analog Devices ADXL362 MEMS
accelerometer was a good choice.

The 3-axis, ADXL362 MEMS digital accelerometer consumes less
than 2 µA at a 100-Hz output data rate and 270 nA when in slower
sampling wake-up mode, consuming up to an order of magnitude lower
power than competing MEMS accelerometers. The MEMS accelerometer
includes an activity detection function that distinguishes between
different kinds of motion and prevents the sensor from turning the
system on unnecessarily and using additional battery life.
