Technical Data
±2g/±4g/±8g Three Axis Low-g
Digital Output Accelerometer
The MMA7455L is a Digital Output (I2C/SPI), low power, low profile
capacitive micromachined accelerometer featuring signal conditioning, a low
pass filter, temperature compensation, self test, configurable to detect 0g
through interrupt pins (INT1 or INT2), and pulse (click) detect for quick motion
detection. The 0g offset can be customer calibrated using assigned 0g
registers and g-Select which allows for command selection for 3 sensitivities
(2g/4g/8g). Zero-g offset and sensitivity are factory set and require no external
devices. The MMA7455L includes a Standby Mode that makes it ideal for
handheld battery powered electronics.

WARNING: This device is sensitive to electrostatic
discharge.
Although the Freescale accelerometer contains internal
2000V ESD protection circuitry, extra precaution must be
taken by the user to protect the chip from ESD. A charge of
over 2000 volts can accumulate on the human body or
associated test equipment. A charge of this magnitude can
alter the performance or cause failure of the chip. When
handling the accelerometer, proper ESD precautions should
be followed to avoid exposing the device to discharges which
may be detrimental to its performance.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Freescale accelerometer is a surface-micromachined
integrated-circuit accelerometer. The device consists of a
surface micromachined capacitive sensing cell (g-cell) and a
signal conditioning ASIC contained in a single package. The
sensing element is sealed hermetically at the wafer level
using a bulk micromachined cap wafer. The g-cell is a
mechanical structure formed from semiconductor materials
(polysilicon) using semiconductor processes (masking and
etching). It can be modeled as a set of beams attached to a
movable central mass that move between fixed beams. The
movable beams can be deflected from their rest position by
subjecting the system to an acceleration (Figure 3).
As the beams attached to the central mass move, the
distance from them to the fixed beams on one side will
increase by the same amount that the distance to the fixed
beams on the other side decreases. The change in distance
is a measure of acceleration. The g-cell beams form two
back-to-back capacitors (Figure 3). As the center beam
moves with acceleration, the distance between the beams
changes and each capacitor's value will change, (C = Aε/D).
Where A is the area of the beam, ε is the dielectric constant,
and D is the distance between the beams.
The ASIC uses switched capacitor techniques to measure
the g-cell capacitors and extract the acceleration data from
the difference between the two capacitors. The ASIC also
signal conditions and filters (switched capacitor) the signal,
providing a high level digital output voltage that is
proportional to acceleration.
Acceleration
g-Select
The g-Select feature enables the selection between 3
sensitivities for measurement. Depending on the values in
the Mode control register ($16), the MMA7455L’s internal
gain will be changed allowing it to function with a 2g, 4g or 8g
measurement sensitivity. This feature is ideal when a product
has applications requiring two or more sensitivities for
optimum performance and for enabling multiple functions.
The sensitivity can be changed during the operation by
modifying the two GLVL bits located in the mode control
register.

Standby Mode
This digital output 3-axis accelerometer provides a
standby mode that is ideal for battery operated products.
When standby mode is active, the device outputs are turned
off, providing significant reduction of operating current. When
the device is in standby mode the current will be reduced to
2.5 µA typical. In standby mode the device can read and write
to the registers with the I2C/SPI available, but no new
measurements can be taken in this mode as all current
consuming parts are off. The mode of the device is controlled
through the mode control register by accessing the two mode
bits as shown in Table 5.

Self Test
The sensor provides a self test feature that allows the
verification of the mechanical and electrical integrity of the
accelerometer at any time before or after installation. This
feature is critical in applications such as hard disk drive
protection where system integrity must be ensured over the
life of the product. Customers can use self test to verify the
solderability to confirm that the part was mounted to the PCB
correctly. When the self test function is initiated through the
mode control register, accessing the “self test” bit, an
electrostatic force is applied to each axis to cause it to deflect.
The z-axis is trimmed to deflect 1g. This procedure assures
that both the mechanical (g-cell) and electronic sections of
the accelerometer are functioning.

Measurement Mode
During measurement mode, continuous measurements on
all three axes enabled. The g-range for 2g, 4g, or 8g are
selectable with 8-bit data and the g-range of 8g is selectable
with 10-bit data. The sample rate during measurement mode
is 125 Hz with 62.5 BW filter selected. The sample rate is
250 Hz with the 125 Hz filter selected. Therefore, when a
conversion is complete (signaled by the DRDY flag), the next
measurement will be ready.
When measurements on all three axes are completed, a
logic high level is output to the DRDY pin, indicating
“Measurement data is ready.” The DRDY status can be
monitored by the DRDY bit in Status Register (Address: $09).
The DRDY pin is kept high until one of the three Output Value
Registers are read. If the next measurement data is written
before the previous data is read, the DOVR bit in the Status
Register will be set. Also note that in measurement mode,
level detection mode and pulse detection mode are not
available.
LEVEL DETECTION MODE
Level Detection Mode
In level detection mode, the measurements for x, y and z are all enabled with 2g/4g and 8g range available.The detection of
thresholds for an acceleration signal level for the combinations of one, two or all three axes can be enabled. This is typically used
for motion detection where the threshold can be user set depending on the application or user specific requirements. When a
motion event is detected, one of the interrupt pins (INT1 or INT2) will output a logic high output signaling the event is detected.
Setting for Motion Detection
To configure the MMA7455L for motion detection, after all three axes are enabled for detection, set the LDPL bit in Control
Register 2 (Address: $19) to 0. When the output value of one of the enabled axes exceeds the threshold limit value, either INT1
or INT2 pin will output a logic High indicating the event was detected.
– If LDPL = 0 and all three axes are enabled for detection
– When the specified motion condition is detected, INT1 or INT2 will output a Logic high
– “XOUT ≥Threshold” or “YOUT ≥Threshold” or
“ZOUT ≥Threshold”
Threshold limit value is common for all three axes. Positive/negative and absolute value option is available

Setting for Freefall Detection
LDPL bit in Control Register 2 (Address: $19) should be “1” for freefall detection. When the output values of all enabled axes
are below the threshold limit value, logic high level is output to INT1 or INT2 pin and indicates the event was detected.
– If LDPL = 1 and all three axes are enabled for detection
– When the condition below was detected, Logic high level output to INT1 or INT2
– “XOUT ≤Threshold" and “YOUT ≤Threshold" and ”ZOUT≤Threshold"
– Threshold limit value is common for all three axes. Positive/negative and absolute value option is available.
– INT1/INT2 pin assignment for level detection is controlled by Control Register 1 (Address: $18). Detection status is also
able to be monitored by Detection source Register (Address: $0A). Once the event was detected, INT pin or register bit
will not be cleared until clear bit in Interrupt Latch Reset Register (Address: $17) is set.

NOTE: Measurement period and bandwidth for level detection is different from data output rate and the bandwidth of
“measurement.” Please refer to Functional Parameter for Detection for more information.
PULSE DETECTION MODE
Pulse Detection Mode
In pulse detection mode, only 8g range is available. It is independent from measurement g-range. Therefore if the measurement range is in the 2g or 4g mode, the pulse detection range will still be 8g. Measurements for x, y and z in 2g/4g or 8g mode
are enabled. The level detection is also enabled in this mode. The pulse detected by the acceleration signal is enabled with single
pulse and double pulse detection allowing the choice of either positive, negative or absolute value pulse detection.
Setting for Motion Detection
For the PDPL bit in Control Register 2 (Address: $19) the register should be set to “0” for motion detection. When the output
value of one of the enabled axes exceeds the threshold limit value, logic high level is output to INT1 or INT2 pin and indicates
the event was detected.
– If PDPL = 0 and all three axes are enabled for detection
– When the condition below was detected, logic high level outputs to INT1 or INT2
– “XOUT ≥Threshold” or “YOUT ≥Threshold” or “ZOUT ≥Threshold”
Setting for Freefall Detection
To configure the MMA7455L for freefall detection, set the PDPL bit in Control Register 2 (Address: $19) to 1 and Time Window
for 2nd pulse value should be “0” for freefall detection. When the output values of all enabled axes are below the threshold limit
continuously during the period specified in Latency Timer Value register, logic high level is output to INT1 or INT2 pin and indicates the event was detected.
– If PDPL = 1, TW[7:0] = 0 and all three axes are enabled for detection
– When the condition below was detected, Logic high level output to INT1 or INT2
– “XOUT ≤Threshold" and “YOUT ≤Threshold" and ”ZOUT≤Threshold"
– INT1/INT2 pin assignment for pulse detection is controlled by Control Register 1 (Address: $18). Detection status is also
able to be monitored by Interrupt Source Register. Once the event was detected, INT pin or register bit will not be cleared
until clear bit in Interrupt Latch Reset Register (Address: $17) is set.

DIGITAL INTERFACE
The MMA7455L has both an I2C and SPI digital output
available for a communication interface. When CS pin is used
for Slave Select, SPI communication is selected. When CS is
high, I2C communication is selected and SPI is disabled.
NOTE: It is recommended to disable I2C during SPI
communication to avoid communication
errors between devices using a different SPI
communication protocol. To disable I2C, set
the I2CDIS bit in I2C Device Address register
using SPI.
I2C SLAVE INTERFACE
C is a synchronous serial communication between a
master device and one or more slave devices. The master is
typically a microcontroller, which provides the serial clock
signal and addresses the slave device(s) on the bus. The
MMA7455L communicates only in slave operation where the
device address is $1D. Multiple read and write modes are
available. The protocol supports slave only operation. It does
not support Hs mode, “10-bit addressing”, “general call” and
:”START byte”.
I2
SINGLE BYTE READ
The MMA7455L has an 8-bit ADC that can sample,
convert and return sensor data on request. The transmission
of an 8-bit command begins on the falling edge of SCL. After
the eight clock cycles are used to send the command, note
that the data returned is sent with the MSB first once the data
is received. Figure 7 shows the timing diagram for the
accelerometer 8-bit I2C read operation. The Master (or MCU)
transmits a start condition (ST) to the MMA7455L, slave
address ($1D), with the R/W bit set to “0” for a write, and the
MMA7455L sends an acknowledgement. Then the Master (or
MCU) transmits the 8-bit address of the register to read and
the MMA7455L sends an acknowledgement. The Master (or
MCU) transmits a repeated start condition (SR) and then
addresses the MMA7455L ($1D) with the R/W bit set to “1” for
a read from the previously selected register. The Slave then
acknowledges and transmits the data from the requested
register. The Master does not acknowledge (NACK) it
received the transmitted data, but transmits a stop condition
to end the data transfer.
MULTIPLE BYTES READ
The MMA7455L automatically increments the received
register address commands after a read command is
received. Therefore, after following the steps of a single byte
read, multiple bytes of data can be read from sequential
registers after each MMA7455L acknowledgment (ACK) is
received until a NACK is received from the Master followed
by a stop condition (SP) signalling an end of transmission.
See Figure 8.
SINGLE BYTE WRITE
To start a write command, the Master transmits a start
condition (ST) to the MMA7455L, slave address ($1D) with
the R/W bit set to “0” for a write, the MMA7455L sends an
acknowledgement. Then the Master (MCU) transmits the 8bit address of the register to write to, and the MMA7455L
sends an acknowledgement. Then the Master (or MCU)
transmits the 8-bit data to write to the designated register and
the MMA7455L sends an acknowledgement that it has
received the data. Since this transmission is complete, the
Master transmits a stop condition (SP) to the data transfer.
The data sent to the MMA7455L is now stored in the
appropriate register. See Figure 9.
Figure 7. Single Byte Read - The Master is reading one address from the MMA7455L
Figure 8. Multiple Bytes Read - The Master is reading multiple sequential registers from the MMA7455L

MULTIPLE BYTES WRITE
The MMA7455L automatically increments the received
register address commands after a write command is
received. Therefore, after following the steps of a single byte
write, multiple bytes of data can be written to sequential
registers after each MMA7455L acknowledgment (ACK) is
received. See Figure 10.
Figure 10. Multiple Byte Writes - The Master (MCU) is writing to multiple sequential registers of the MMA7455L
SPI SLAVE INTERFACE
The MMA7455L also uses serial peripheral interface
communication as a digital communication. The SPI
communication is primarily used for synchronous serial
communication between a master device and one or more
slave devices. See Figure 16 for an example of how to
configure one master with two MMA7455L devices. The
MMA7455L is always operated as a slave device. Typically,
the master device would be a microcontroller which would
drive the clock (SPC) and chip select (CS) signals.
The SPI interface consists of two control lines and two data
lines: CS, SPC, SDI, and SDO. The CS, also known as Chip
Select, is the slave device enable which is controlled by the
SPI master. CS is driven low at the start of a transmission. CS
is then driven high at the end of a transmission. SPC is the
Serial Port Clock which is also controlled by the SPI master.
SDI and SDO are the Serial Port Data Input and the Serial
Port Data Output. The SDI and SDO data lines are driven at
the falling edge of the SPC and should be captured at the
rising edge of the SPC.
Read and write register commands are completed in 16
clock pulses or in multiples of 8, in the case of a multiple byte
read/write.
SPI READ OPERATION
A SPI read transfer consists of a 1-bit Read/Write signal, a
6-bit address, and 1-bit don’t care bit. (1-bit R/W=0 + 6-bits
address + 1-bit don’t care). The data to read is sent by the
SPI interface during the next transfer. See Figure 11 and

3 wire modes, respectively.
SPI WRITE OPERATION
In order to write to one of the 8-bit registers, an 8-bit write
command must be sent to the MMA7455L. The write
command consists of an MSB (0=read, 1=write) to indicate
writing to the MMA7455L register, followed by a 6-bit address
and 1 don’t care bit.
The command should then be followed the 8-bit data
transfer. See Figure 13 for the timing diagram for an 8-bit
data write.

NOTES:
1. Use a 1 μF and a 10 μF capacitor on AVDD to and
DVDD_IO to decouple the power source.
4. PCB layout of power and ground should not couple
power supply noise.
5. Accelerometer and microcontroller should not be a
high current path.
2. Physical coupling distance of the accelerometer to
the microcontroller should be minimal.
6. Any external power supply switching frequency
should be selected such that they do not interfere
with the internal accelerometer sampling frequency
(sampling frequency). This will prevent aliasing
errors.
3. Place a ground plane beneath the accelerometer to
reduce noise, the ground plane should be attached to
all of the open ended terminals shown in Figure 15
and Figure 16.

0: Do not clear “INT1” LDX/LDY/LDZ or PDX/PDY/PDZ bits in “Detection source” register.
CLR_INT2
1: Clear “INT2” and LDX/LDY/LDZ or PDX/PDY/PDZ bits in “Detection source” register depending on “Detection control” register setting.
0: Do not clear “INT2” and LDX/LDY/LDZ or PDX/PDY/PDZ bits in “Detection source” register.
EXAMPLE: How to clear both interrupt flags
This example is to show how to reset the interrupt flags
void ClearIntLatch(void)
{
IIC_ByteWrite(INTRST, 0x03);
IIC_ByteWrite(INTRST, 0x00);
}
To clear the interrupts you must first write a logic 1 into both registers and then a logic 0.

MINIMUM RECOMMENDED FOOTPRINT FOR SURFACE MOUNTED APPLICATIONS
Surface mount board layout is a critical portion of the total
design. The footprint for the surface mount packages must be
the correct size to ensure proper solder connection interface
between the board and the package.
With the correct footprint, the packages will self-align when
subjected to a solder reflow process. It is always
recommended to design boards with a solder mask layer to
avoid bridging and shorting between solder pads.
SOLDERING AND MOUNTING GUIDELINES FOR THE LGA ACCELEROMETER SENSOR TO A PC BOARD
These guideline are for soldering and mounting the LGA
package inertial sensors to printed circuit boards (PCBs). The
purpose is to minimize the stress on the package after board
mounting. Both the MMA73x0L 3 axis analog output family of
accelerometers and the MMA7455L digital output
accelerometer use the Land Grid Array (LGA) package
platform. This section describes suggested methods of
soldering these devices to the PC board for consumer
applications. Figure 19 shows the recommended PCB land
pattern for the package.
OVERVIEW OF SOLDERING CONSIDERATIONS
Information provided here is based on experiments
executed on LGA devices. They do not represent exact
conditions present at a customer site. Hence, information
herein should be used as a guidance only and process and
design optimizations are recommended to develop an
application specific solution. It should be noted that with the
proper PCB footprint and solder stencil designs the package
will self-align during the solder reflow process.
The following are the recommended guidelines to follow
for mounting LGA sensors for consumer applications.
PCB MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
1
13
1. The PCB land should be designed with Non Solder
Mask Defined (NSMD) as shown in Figure 22.
2. No additional metal pattern underneath package as
shown in Figure 21.
10x0.8
3. PCB land pad is 0.9mm x 0.6mm which is the size of
the package pad plus 0.1mm as shown in Figure 22.
4. The solder mask opening is equal to the size of the
PCB land pad plus an extra 0.1mm as shown in
Figure 22.
6x2
6
8
14x0.6
5. The stencil aperture size is equal to the PCB land pad
– 0.025mm. Also note that for the 4 corner pads the
aperture size must be larger for solder balancing as
shown in Figure 23 and Figure 24. A 6mil thick stencil
is recommended.

Figure 24. Stencil Design Guidelines (detailed dimensions for corner pads)
6. Do not place any components or vias at a distance less
than 2mm from the package land area. This may cause
additional package stress if it is too close to the
package land area.
7. Signal traces connected to pads should be as
symmetric as possible. Put dummy traces on NC pads
in order to have same length of exposed trace for all
pads. Signal traces with 0.1mm width and min. 0.5mm
length for all PCB land pads near the package are
recommended as shown in Figure 22, Figure 23, and
Figure 24. Wider trace can be continued after the
0.5mm zone.
8. Use a standard pick and place process and equipment.
Do not us a hand soldering process.
10. Do not use a screw down or stacking to fix the PCB into
an enclosure because this could bend the PCB putting
stress on the package.
11. The PCB should be rated for the multiple lead-free
reflow condition with max 260°C temperature.
Please cross reference with the device data sheet for
mounting guidelines specific to the exact device used.
Freescale LGA sensors are compliant with Restrictions on
Hazardous Substances (RoHS), having halide free molding
compound (green) and lead-free terminations. These
terminations are compatible with tin-lead (Sn-Pb) as well as
tin-silver-copper (Sn-Ag-Cu) solder paste soldering
processes. Reflow profiles applicable to those processes can
be used successfully for soldering the devices.
9. It is recommended to use a cleanable solder paste with
an additional cleaning step after SMT mount.
