Analog accelerometers have an output that is a continuous voltage proportional to the acceleration. Digital accelerometers typically use pulse width modulation so that there is a square wave at a certain frequency. In this case, the time period of high voltage is proportional to the amount of acceleration.

Which accelerometer is better?
Piezoelectric accelerometers are the first choice for most vibration measurements since they have a wide frequency response, good sensitivity and resolution, and are easy to install.
Why would a sensor with an analog data accelerometer have a digital output?
The oncoming wave of digital accelerometers will have the digitization built right inside the sensor. This means that rather than outputting an analog signal proportional to acceleration, the sensor outputs digital samples of the acceleration sensing element's analog output.
Is mpu6050 analog or digital?
The MPU-6050 sensor module contains an accelerometer and a gyro in a single chip. It is very accurate, as it contains 16-bits analog to digital conversion hardware for each channel. Therefore it captures the x, y, and z channel at the same time. The sensor uses the I2C-bus to interface with the Arduino.
What is analog accelerator?
An analog-based deep learning accelerator uses a crossbar memory array to store the values of the weight matrix in an analog fashion, so that the VMM and MAC operations inherent to DNN computation can be performed in a highly parallel and energy-efficient manner.
