ELECTRO STATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
WARNING: This device is sensitive to electrostatic
discharge.
Although the Freescale accelerometers contain internal
2 kV 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.

1. For a loaded output the measurements are observed after an RC filter consisting of a 1 k resistor and a 0.01 F capacitor to ground.
2. These limits define the range of operation for which the part will meet specification.
3. Within the supply range of 4.75 and 5.25 V, the device operates as a fully calibrated linear accelerometer. Beyond these supply limits the
device may operate as a linear device but is not guaranteed to be in calibration.
4. The device can measure both + and – acceleration. With no input acceleration the output is at midsupply. For positive acceleration the output
will increase above VDD/2 and for negative acceleration the output will decrease below VDD/2.
5. The device is calibrated at 35g.
6. At clock frequency  70 kHz.
7. VOFF calculated with typical sensitivity.
8. The digital input pin has an internal pull-down current source to prevent inadvertent self test initiation due to external board level leakages.
9. Time for the output to reach 90% of its final value after a self-test is initiated.
10. The Status pin output is not valid following power-up until at least one rising edge has been applied to the self-test pin. The Status pin is
high whenever the self-test input is high, as a means to check the connectivity of the self-test and Status pins in the application.
11. The Status pin output latches high if a Low Voltage Detection or Clock Frequency failure occurs, or the EPROM parity changes to odd. The
Status pin can be reset low if the self-test pin is pulsed with a high input for at least 100 s, unless a fault condition continues to exist.
12. Time for amplifiers to recover after an acceleration signal causes them to saturate.
13. Preserves phase margin (60°) to guarantee output amplifier stability.
14. A measure of the device's ability to reject an acceleration applied 90° from the true axis of sensitivity.

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 CMOS signal
conditioning ASIC contained in a single integrated circuit
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 two
stationary plates with a moveable plate in-between. The
center plate can be deflected from its rest position by
subjecting the system to an acceleration (Figure 3).
When the center plate deflects, the distance from it to one
fixed plate will increase by the same amount that the distance
to the other plate decreases. The change in distance is a
measure of acceleration.
The g-cell plates form two back-to-back capacitors
(Figure 4). As the center plate moves with acceleration, the
distance between the plates changes and each capacitor's
value will change, (C = A/D). Where A is the area of the
plate,  is the dielectric constant, and D is the distance
between the plates.
The CMOS 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 output voltage that is
ratiometric and proportional to acceleration.
Filtering
The Freescale accelerometers contain an onboard 2-pole
switched capacitor filter. A Bessel implementation is used
because it provides a maximally flat delay response (linear
phase) thus preserving pulse shape integrity. Because the
filter is realized using switched capacitor techniques, there is
no requirement for external passive components (resistors
and capacitors) to set the cut-off frequency.
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 automotive airbag
systems where system integrity must be ensured over the life
of the vehicle. A fourth “plate'' is used in the g-cell as a selftest plate. When the user applies a logic high input to the selftest pin, a calibrated potential is applied across the self-test
plate and the moveable plate. The resulting electrostatic
2

force  Fe = --- A ------ causes the center plate to deflect.


The resultant deflection is measured by the accelerometer's
control ASIC and a proportional output voltage results. This
procedure assures that both the mechanical (g-cell) and
electronic sections of the accelerometer are functioning.
Status
Freescale accelerometers include fault detection circuitry
and a fault latch. The Status pin is an output from the fault
latch, OR'd with self-test, and is set high whenever the
following event occurs:
• Parity of the EPROM bits becomes odd in number.
The fault latch can be reset by a rising edge on the self-test
input pin, unless one (or more) of the fault conditions
continues to exist.

NOTES:
1. Use a 0.1 F capacitor on VDD to decouple the power
source.
2. Physical coupling distance of the accelerometer to the
microcontroller should be minimal.
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 6.
4. Use an RC filter of 1 k and 0.01 F on the output of
the accelerometer to minimize clock noise (from the
switched capacitor filter circuit).
5. PCB layout of power and ground should not couple
power supply noise.
6. Accelerometer and microcontroller should not be a
high current path.

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.
