Arduino and MMA8653 example

The NXP® MMA8653FC 10-bit accelerometer has industry leading performance in a small DFN package. Packed with embedded functions that include:

Flexible user-programmable options and two configurable interrupt pins
Overall power savings through inertial wake-up interrupt signals that monitor events and remain in a low-power mode during periods of inactivity

Features
Low-profile 2 x 2 x 1.0 mm DFN package
High sensitivity: 1 mg per LSB
Low noise: 150 micro g per root Hertz (independent of resolution)
Low-power mode: 7 micro amps
Interrupt and IIC interface supply: 1.62 to 3.6 V
Supply voltage : 1.95 to 3.6 V
Output data rate: 1.5 to 800 Hz
