An Energy Efficient Solution by Freescale
3-Axis, 8-bit/12-bit
MMA8450Q
Digital Accelerometer
The MMA8450Q is a smart low-power, three-axis, capacitive micromachined
accelerometer featuring 12 bits of resolution. This accelerometer is packed with
embedded functions with flexible user programmable options, configurable to
two interrupt pins. Embedded interrupt functions allow for overall power savings
relieving the host processor from continuously polling data. The MMA8450Q’s
Embedded FIFO buffer can be configured to log up to 32 samples of X,Y and
Z-axis 12-bit (or 8-bit for faster download) data. The FIFO enables a more
efficient analysis of gestures and user programmable algorithms, ensuring no
loss of data on a shared I2C bus, and enables system level power saving (up to
96% of the total power consumption savings) by allowing the applications
processor to sleep while data is logged. There is access to both low pass
filtered data as well as high pass filtered data, which minimizes the data
analysis required for jolt detection and faster transitions. The MMA8450Q has
user selectable full scales of ±2g/±4g/±8g. The device can be configured to
generate inertial wakeup interrupt signals from any combination of the
configurable embedded functions allowing the MMA8450Q to monitor events
and remain in a low power mode during periods of inactivity.

When using MMA8450Q in applications, it is recommended that pin 1 and pin 14 (the VDD pins) be tied together. Power supply
decoupling capacitors (100 nF ceramic plus 4.7 µF bulk, or a single 4.7 µF ceramic) should be placed as near as possible to the
pins 1 and 5 of the device. The SDA and SCL I2C connections are open drain and therefore require a pullup resistor as shown
in Figure 4
Note: The above application diagram presents the recommended configuration for the MMA8450Q. For information on future
products of this product family please review Freescale application note, AN3923, Design Checklist and Board Mounting
Guidelines of the MMA8450Q.This application note details the small modifications between the MMA8450Q and the next
generation products.

Pulse width of spikes on SDA and SCL that must be suppressed by input filter
1. All values referred to VIH (min) and VIL (max) levels.
2. tHD;DAT is the data hold time that is measured from the falling edge of SCL, applies to data in transmission and the acknowledge.
3. A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for the SDA signal (with respect to the VIH (min) of the SCL signal) to bridge the
undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
4. The maximum tHD;DAT could be 3.45 μs and 0.9 μs for Standard-mode and Fast-mode, but must be less than the maximum of tVD;DAT or tVD;ACK
by a transition time. This maximum must only be met if the device does not stretch the LOW period (tLOW) of the SCL signal. If the clock
stretches the SCL, the data must be valid by the setup time before it releases the clock.
5. tVD;DAT = time for data signal from SCL LOW to SDA output (HIGH or LOW, depending on which one is worse).
6. tVD;ACK = time for Acknowledgement signal from SCL LOW to SDA output (HIGH or LOW, depending on which one is worse).
7. A Fast-mode I2C device can be used in a Standard-mode I2C system, but the requirement tSU;DAT 250 ns must then be met. This will
automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the
SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line tr(max) + tSU;DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard-mode I2C
specification) before the SCL line is released. Also the acknowledge timing must meet this setup time
8. Cb = total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
9. The maximum tf for the SDA and SCL bus lines is specified at 300 ns. The maximum fall time for the SDA output stage tf is specified at 250 ns.
This allows series protection resistors to be connected in between the SDA and the SCL pins and the SDA/SCL bus lines without exceeding
the maximum specified tf.
10.In Fast-mode Plus, fall time is specified the same for both output stage and bus timing. If series resistors are used, designers should allow for
this when considering bus timing

Terminology
3.1
Sensitivity
Sensitivity describes the gain of the sensor and can be determined by applying a g acceleration to it, such as the earth's
gravitational field. The sensitivity of the sensor can be determined by subtracting the -1g acceleration value from the +1g
acceleration value and dividing by two.
3.2
Zero-g Offset
Zero-g Offset describes the deviation of an actual output signal from the ideal output signal if no acceleration is present. A
sensor in a steady state on a horizontal surface will measure 0g in X-axis and 0g in Y-axis whereas the Z-axis will measure 1g.
The output is ideally in the middle of the dynamic range of the sensor (content of OUT registers 0x00, data expressed as 2's
complement number). A deviation from ideal value in this case is called Zero-g offset. Offset is to some extent a result of stress
on the MEMS sensor and therefore the offset can slightly change after mounting the sensor onto a printed circuit board or
exposing it to extensive mechanical stress.
3.3
Self-Test
Self-Test checks the transducer functionality without external mechanical stimulus. When Self-Test is activated, an
electrostatic actuation force is applied to the sensor, simulating a small acceleration. In this case the sensor outputs will exhibit
a change in their DC levels which are related to the selected full scale through the device sensitivity. When Self-Test is activated,
the device output level is given by the algebraic sum of the signals produced by the acceleration acting on the sensor and by the
electrostatic test-force.

Functionality
The MMA8450Q is a low-power, digital output 3-axis linear accelerometer packaged in a QFN package. The complete device
includes a sensing element and an IC interface able to take the information from the sensing element and to provide a signal to
the external world through an I2C serial interface. There are many embedded features in this accelerometer with a very flexible
interrupt routing scheme to two interrupt pins including:
• 8-bit or 12-bit data, high pass filtered data, 8-bit or 12-bit configurable 32 sample FIFO
• Low power and Auto-Wake/Sleep for conservation of current consumption
• Single and double pulse detection 1 channel
• Motion detection and Freefall 2 channels
• Transient detection based on a high pass filter and settable threshold for detecting the change in acceleration above a
threshold
• Flexible user configurable portrait landscape detection algorithm addressing many use cases for screen orientation
All functionality is available in 2g, 4g or 8g dynamic ranges. There are many configuration settings for enabling all the different
functions. Separate application notes have been provided to help configure the device for each embedded functionality.
5.1
Device Calibration
The IC interface is factory calibrated for sensitivity and Zero-g offset for each axis. The trim values are stored in Non Volatile
Memory (NVM). On power-up, the trim parameters are read from NVM and applied to the circuitry. In normal use, further
calibration in the end application is not necessary. However, the MMA8450Q allows the user to adjust the Zero-g offset for each
axis after power-up, changing the default offset values. The user offset adjustments are stored in 6 volatile registers. For more
information on device calibration, refer to Freescale application note, AN3916.
5.2
8-bit or 12-bit Data
The measured acceleration data is stored in the OUT_X_MSB, OUT_X_LSB, OUT_Y_MSB, OUT_Y_LSB, OUT_Z_MSB, and
OUT_Z_LSB registers as 2’s complement 12-bit numbers. The most significant 8-bits of each axis are stored in OUT_X (Y,
Z)_MSB, so applications needing only 8-bit results can use these 3 registers and ignore OUT_X(Y, Z)_LSB.
When the full-scale is set to 2g, the measurement range is -2g to +1.999g, and each LSB corresponds to 1g/1024 (0.98 mg)
at 12-bits resolution. When the full-scale is set to 8g, the measurement range is -8g to +7.996g, and each LSB corresponds to
1g/256 (3.9 mg) at 12-bits resolution. The resolution is reduced by a factor of 16 if only the 8-bit results are used. For more
information on the data manipulation between data formats and modes, refer to Freescale application note, AN3922. There is a
device driver available that can be used with the Sensor Toolbox demo board (LFSTBEB8450Q) with this application note.
5.3
Internal FIFO Data Buffer
MMA8450Q contains a 32 sample internal FIFO data buffer minimizing traffic across the I2C bus. The FIFO can also provide
power savings of the system by allowing the host processor/MCU to go into a sleep mode while the accelerometer independently
stores the data, up to 32 samples per axis. The FIFO can run at all output data rates. There is the option of accessing the full 12bit data for accessing only the 8-bit data. When access speed is more important than high resolution the 8-bit data flush is a better
option.
The FIFO contains three modes (Fill Buffer Mode, Circular Buffer Mode, and Disabled) described in the F_SETUP Register
0x13. Fill Buffer Mode collects the first 32 samples and asserts the overflow flag when the buffer is full. It does not collect anymore
data until the buffer is read. This benefits data logging applications where all samples must be collected. The Circular Buffer Mode
allows the buffer to be filled and then new data replaces the oldest sample in the buffer. The most recent 32 samples will be stored
in the buffer. This benefits situations where the processor is waiting for an specific interrupt to signal that the data must be flushed
to analyze the event.
The MMA8450Q FIFO Buffer also has a configurable watermark, allowing the processor to be interrupted after a configurable
number of samples has filled in the buffer (1 to 32).
For details on the configurations for the FIFO Buffer as well as more specific examples and application benefits, refer to
Freescale application note, AN3920.
5.4
Low Power Mode
The MMA8450Q can be set to a low power mode to further reduce the current consumption of the device. When the Low Power
Mode is enabled, the device has access to all the configurable sampling rates and features as is available in the Normal power
mode. To set the device into Low Power Mode, bit 0 in the System Control Register 2 (0x39) should be set (1) (this bit is cleared
(0) for Normal Power Mode). Low Power Mode reduces the current consumption by internally sleeping longer and averaging the
data less. The Low Power Mode is an additional feature that is independent of the sleep feature.The sleep feature can also be
used to reduce the current consumption by automatically changing to a lower sample rate when no activity is detected.
For more information on how to configure the MMA8450Q in Low Power Mode and the power consumption benefits of Low
Power Mode and Auto-Wake/Sleep with specific application examples, refer to Freescale application note, AN3921.

5.5
Auto-Wake/Sleep Mode
The MMA8450Q can be configured to transition between sample rates (with their respective current consumption) based on
five of the interrupt functions of the device. The advantage of using the Auto-Wake/Sleep is that the system can automatically
transition to a higher sample rate (higher current consumption) when needed but spends the majority of the time in the Sleep
Mode (lower current) when the device does not require higher sampling rates. Auto-Wake refers to the device being triggered by
one of the interrupt functions to transition to a higher sample rate. This may also interrupt the processor to transition from a sleep
mode to a higher power mode.
Sleep Mode occurs after the accelerometer has not detected an interrupt for longer than the user definable timeout period.
The device will transition to the specified lower sample rate. It may also alert the processor to go into a lower power mode to save
on current during this period of inactivity.
The Interrupts that can wake the device from sleep are the following: Tap Detection, Orientation Detection, Motion/Freefall1,
Motion/Freefall2, and Transient Detection. The FIFO can be configured to hold the data in the buffer until it is flushed if the FIFO
Gate bit is set in Register 0x3A but the FIFO cannot wake the device from sleep.
The interrupts that can keep the device from falling asleep are the same interrupts that can wake the device with the addition
of the FIFO. If the FIFO interrupt is enabled and data is being accessed continually servicing the interrupt then the device will
remain in the wake mode. Refer to AN3921, for more detailed information for configuring the Auto-Wake/Sleep and for application
examples of the power consumption savings.
5.6
Freefall and Motion Detection
MMA8450Q has flexible interrupt architecture for detecting Freefall and Motion with the two Motion/Freefall interrupt functions
available. With two configurable interrupts for Motion and Freefall, one interrupt can be configured to detect a linear freefall while
the other can be configured to detect a spin motion. The combination of these two events can be routed to separate interrupts or
to the same interrupt pin to detect tumble which is the combination of spin with freefall. For details on the advantages of having
the two embedded functions of Freefall and Motion detection with specific application examples with recommended configuration
settings, refer to Freescale application note AN3917.
5.6.1
Freefall Detection
The detection of “Freefall” involves the monitoring of the X, Y, and Z axes for the condition where the acceleration magnitude
is below a user specified threshold for a user definable amount of time. Normally the usable threshold ranges are between
±0 mg and ±500 mg.
5.6.2
Motion Detection
There are two programmable functions for motion (MFF1 and MFF2). Motion is configured using the high-g mechanism.
Motion is often used to simply alert the main processor that the device is currently in use. When the acceleration exceeds a set
threshold the motion interrupt is asserted. A motion can be a fast moving shake or a slow moving tilt. This will depend on the
threshold and timing values configured for the event. The motion detection function can analyze static acceleration changes or
faster jolts. For example, to detect that an object is spinning, all three axes would be enabled with a threshold detection of > 2g.
This condition would need to occur for a minimum of 100 ms to ensure that the event wasn't just noise. The timing value is set
by a configurable debounce counter. The debounce counter acts like a filter to determine whether the condition exists for
configurable set of time (i.e., 100 ms or longer).
5.7
Transient Detection
The MMA8450Q has a built in high pass filter. Acceleration data goes through the high pass filter, eliminating the offset (DC)
and low frequencies. The high pass filter cutoff frequency can be set by the user to four different frequencies which are dependent
on the Output Data Rate (ODR). A higher cutoff frequency ensures the DC data or slower moving data will be filtered out, allowing
only the higher frequencies to pass. The embedded Transient Detection function uses the high pass filtered data allowing the
user to set the threshold and debounce counter.
Many applications use the accelerometer’s static acceleration readings (i.e., tilt) which measure the change in acceleration
due to gravity only. These functions benefit from acceleration data being filtered from a low pass filter where high frequency data
is considered noise. However, there are many functions where the accelerometer must analyze dynamic acceleration. Functions
such as tap, flick, shake and step counting are based on the analysis of the change in the acceleration. It is simpler to interpret
these functions dependent on dynamic acceleration data when the static component has been removed. The Transient Detection
function can be routed to either interrupt pin through bit 5 in CTRL_REG5 Register (0x3C). Registers 0x2B – 0x2E are the
dedicated Transient Detection configuration registers. For details on the benefits of the embedded Transient Detection function
along with specific application examples and recommended configuration settings, please refer to Freescale application note,
AN3918.

Orientation Detection
The MMA8450Q incorporates an advanced algorithm for orientation detection (ability to detect all 6 orientations including
portrait/landscape) with a large amount of configuration available to provide extreme flexibility to the system designer. The
configurability also allows for the function to work differently for various modes of the end system. For example, the MMA8450Q
Orientation Detection allows up to 10 selectable trip angles for Portrait-to-Landscape, up to10 selectable trip angles for the
transition for Landscape-to-Portrait, and 4 selectable front/back trip angles. Typically the desired hysteresis angle is ±15° from a
45° trip reference point, resulting in |30°| and |60°| trip points. The algorithm is robust enough to handle typical process variation
and uncompensated board mount offset, however, it may result in slight angle variations.
The MMA8450Q Orientation Detection algorithm confirms the reliability of the function with a configurable Z-lockout angle.
Based on known functionality of linear accelerometers, it is not possible to rotate the device about the Z-axis to detect change in
acceleration at slow angular speeds. The angle at which the image no longer detects the orientation change is referred to as the
“Z-Lockout angle”. The MMA8450Q Orientation Detection function has eight selectable1g-lockout thresholds; and there are 8
different settings for the Z-Angle lockout.
The Orientation Detection function also considers when a device is experiencing acceleration above a set threshold not typical
of orientation changes (i.e., When a person is jogging or due to acceleration changes from being on a bus or in a car). The screen
orientation should not interpret this as a change and the screen should lock in the last known valid position. This added feature,
called the 1g Lockout Threshold, enhances the Orientation Detection function and confirms the reliability of the algorithm for the
system. The MMA8450Q allows for configuring the 1g Lockout Threshold from 1g up to 1.35g (in increments of 0.05g).
For further information on the highly configurable embedded Orientation Detection Function, including recommendations for
configuring the device to support various application use cases, refer to Freescale application note, AN3915.

There are eight configurable interrupts in the MMA8450Q. These are Auto-Sleep, FIFO, Transient Detect, Orientation Detect,
Pulse Detect, Freefall/Motion, and the Data Ready events. These eight interrupt sources can be routed to one of two interrupt
pins. The interrupt source must be enabled and configured. If the event flag is asserted because the event condition is detected,
the corresponding interrupt pin, INT1 or INT2, will assert.

Serial
I2C
Interface
Acceleration data may be accessed through an I2C interface thus making the device particularly suitable for direct interfacing
with a microcontroller. The MMA8450Q features an interrupt signal which indicates when a new set of measured acceleration
data is available thus simplifying data synchronization in the digital system that uses the device. The MMA8450Q may also be
configured to generate other interrupt signals accordingly to the programmable embedded functions of the device for Motion,
Freefall, Transient, Orientation, and Tap.
The registers embedded inside MMA8450Q are accessed through an I2C serial interface. The EN pin is controlled by the MCU
I/O pin to be either high or low, depending on the desired state. To enable the I2C interface, the EN pin (pin 8) must be tied high.
When EN is tied low, MMA8450Q is put into low power shutdown mode and communications on the I2C interface are ignored.
The MMA8450Q is always in slave mode. The I2C interface may be used for communications between other I2C devices when
EN is tied low and the MMA8450Q does not clamp the I2C bus.

There are two signals associated with the I2C bus; the Serial Clock Line (SCL) and the Serial Data line (SDA). The latter is a
bidirectional line used for sending and receiving the data to/from the interface. External 4.7 kΩ pullup resistors connected to VDD
are expected for SDA and SCL. When the bus is free both the lines are high. The I2C interface is compliant with fast mode
(400 kHz), and normal mode (100 kHz) I2C standards (Table 4).

5.10.1
I2C Operation
The transaction on the bus is started through a start condition (START) signal. START condition is defined as a HIGH to LOW
transition on the data line while the SCL line is held HIGH. After START has been transmitted by the Master, the bus is considered
busy. The next byte of data transmitted after START contains the slave address in the first 7 bits, and the eighth bit tells whether
the Master is receiving data from the slave or transmitting data to the slave. When an address is sent, each device in the system
compares the first seven bits after a start condition with its address. If they match, the device considers itself addressed by the
Master. The 9th clock pulse, following the slave address byte (and each subsequent byte) is the acknowledge (ACK). The
transmitter must release the SDA line during the ACK period. The receiver must then pull the data line low so that it remains
stable low during the high period of the acknowledge clock period.
The number of bytes transferred per transfer is unlimited. If a receiver can't receive another complete byte of data until it has
performed some other function, it can hold the clock line, SCL low to force the transmitter into a wait state. Data transfer only
continues when the receiver is ready for another byte and releases the data line. This delay action is called clock stretching.
A LOW to HIGH transition on the SDA line while the SCL line is high is defined as a stop condition (STOP). A data transfer is
always terminated by a STOP. A Master may also issue a repeated START during a data transfer. The MMA8450Q expects
repeated STARTs to be used to randomly read from specific registers.
The MMA8450Q's standard slave address is a choice between the two sequential addresses 0011100 and 0011101. The
selection is made by the high and low logic level of the SA0 (pin 7) input respectively. The slave addresses are factory
programmed and alternate addresses are available at customer request. The format is shown in Table 9.

Single Byte Read
The MMA8450Q has an internal 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 11 shows the timing diagram for the accelerometer 8-bit I2C
read operation. The Master (or MCU) transmits a start condition (ST) to the MMA8450Q, slave address ($1D), with the R/W bit
set to “0” for a write, and the MMA8450Q sends an acknowledgement. Then the Master (or MCU) transmits the address of the
register to read and the MMA8450Q sends an acknowledgement. The Master (or MCU) transmits a repeated start condition (SR)
and then addresses the MMA8450Q ($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 (NAK) it received the
transmitted data, but transmits a stop condition to end the data transfer.
Multiple Byte Read
When performing a multibyte read or “burst read”, the MMA8450Q 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 MMA8450Q acknowledgment (AK) is received until a NACK is received from
the Master followed by a stop condition (SP) signaling an end of transmission.
Single Byte Write
To start a write command, the Master transmits a start condition (ST) to the MMA8450Q, slave address ($1D) with the R/W bit
set to “0” for a write, the MMA8450Q sends an acknowledgement. Then the Master (MCU) transmits the address of the register
to write to, and the MMA8450Q sends an acknowledgement. Then the Master (or MCU) transmits the 8-bit data to write to the
designated register and the MMA8450Q 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 MMA8450Q is now stored in the
appropriate register.

Multiple Byte Write

Register contents are preserved when transition from “ACTIVE” to “STANDBY” mode occurs.
Register contents are reset when transition from “STANDBY” to “ACTIVE” mode occurs.
Modification of this register’s contents can only occur when device is “STANDBY” mode
Register contents can be modified anytime in “STANDBY” or “ACTIVE” mode. A write to this register will cause a reset of the corresponding
internal system debounce counter.
Note: Auto-increment addresses which are not a simple increment are highlighted in bold. The auto-increment addressing is only enabled when
device registers are read using I2C burst read mode. Therefore the internal storage of the auto-increment address is clear whenever a

When FDE bit found in register 0x16 (XYZ_DATA_CFG), bit 7 is cleared (the FIFO is not on) register 0x00, 0x04 and 0x0B
should all be the same value and reflect the real-time status information of the X, Y and Z sample data. When FDE is set (the
FIFO is on) Register 0x00, 0x04 and 0x10 will have the same value and 0x0B will reflect the status of the transient data. The
aliases allow the STATUS register to be read easily before reading the current 8-bit, 12-bit, or FIFO sample data using the register
address auto-incrementing mechanism.

ZYXOW is set whenever a new acceleration data is produced before completing the retrieval of the previous set. This event
occurs when the content of at least one acceleration data register (i.e., OUT_X, OUT_Y, OUT_Z) has been overwritten. ZYXOW
is cleared when the high-bytes of the acceleration data (OUT_X_MSB, OUT_Y_MSB, OUT_Z_MSB) of all the active channels
are read.
ZOW is set whenever a new acceleration sample related to the Z-axis is generated before the retrieval of the previous sample.
When this occurs the previous sample is overwritten. ZOW is cleared anytime OUT_Z_MSB register is read.
YOW is set whenever a new acceleration sample related to the Y-axis is generated before the retrieval of the previous sample.
When this occurs the previous sample is overwritten. YOW is cleared anytime OUT_Y_MSB register is read.
XOW is set whenever a new acceleration sample related to the X-axis is generated before the retrieval of the previous sample.
When this occurs the previous sample is overwritten. XOW is cleared anytime OUT_X_MSB register is read.
ZYXDR signals that a new sample for any of the enabled channels is available. ZYXDR is cleared when the high-bytes of the
acceleration data (OUT_X_MSB, OUT_Y_MSB, OUT_Z_MSB) of all the enabled channels are read.
ZDR is set whenever a new acceleration sample related to the Z-axis is generated. ZDR is cleared anytime OUT_Z_MSB register
is read. In order to enable the monitoring and assertion of this bit, the ZDR bit requires the Z-axis event detection flag to be
enabled (bit ZDEFE = 1 inside XYZ_DATA_CFG register).

The ZYXDR and ZYXOW flag generation is requires the Z-axis, Y-axis, X-axis event flag generator to be enabled (ZDEFE = 1,
YDEFE = 1, XDEFE = 1) in the XYZ_DATA_CFG register.
0x01, 0x02, 0x03: OUT_MSB 8-Bit XYZ Data Registers
X, Y and Z-axis data is expressed as 2’s complement numbers. The most significant 8-bits are stored together in
OUT_X_MSB, OUT_Y_MSB, OUT_Z_MSB so applications needing only 8-bit results can use these registers and can ignore the
OUT_X_LSB, OUT_Y_LSB, OUT_Z_LSB. The status Register 0x00, OUT_X_MSB, OUT_Y_MSB, OUT_Z_MSB are duplicated
in the auto-incrementing address range of 0x00 to 0x03 to reduce reading the status followed by 8-bit axis data to a 4 byte
sequence.

The sample data output registers store the current sample data if the FIFO data output register driver is disabled, but if the
FIFO data output register driver is enabled, the 12 sample data output registers point to the head of the FIFO buffer which
contains the previous 32 X, Y, and Z data samples. This applies for the 8-bit data and the 12-bit data.
When the FDE bit is set to logic 1, the F_8DATA (0x11) FIFO root data pointer shares the same address location as the
OUT_X_MSB register (0x01); therefore all 8-bit accesses of the FIFO buffer data must use the I2C address 0x01. The F_12DATA
(0x12) FIFO root data pointer shares the same address location as the OUT_X_LSB register (0x05); therefore all 12-bit accesses
of the FIFO buffer data must use the I2C address 0x05. All reads to register addresses 0x02, 0x03, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08, 0x09, and
0x0A returns a value of 0x00.
0x0C - 0x0E: OUT_X_DELTA, OUT_Y_DELTA, OUT_Z_DELTA AC Data Registers
X, Y, and Z-axis 8-bit high pass filtered output data is expressed as 2's complement numbers. The data is obtained from the
output of the user definable high pass filter. The data cuts out the low frequency data, which is useful in that the offset data is
removed. The value of the high pass filter cutoff frequency is set in Register 0x17.
Note: The OUT_X_DELTA, OUT_Y_DELTA, OUT_Z_DELTA registers store the high pass filtered “delta data” information regardless of the state
of the FIFO data output register driver bit. Register 0x0B always reflects the status of the delta data.

The following registers are used to configure the FIFO. The following are the FIFO registers for the MMA8450Q. For more
information on the FIFO please refer to AN3920.
0x10: F_STATUS FIFO Status Register
The FIFO Status Register is used to retrieve information about the FIFO. This register has a flag for the overflow and
watermark. It also has a counter that can be read to obtain the number of samples stored in the buffer.

0
No FIFO watermark events detected.
—
1
FIFO event detected; FIFO sample count is greater than watermark value.
The F_OVF and F_WMRK_FLAG flags remain asserted while the event source is still active, but the user can clear the FIFO
interrupt bit flag in the interrupt source register (INT_SOURCE) by reading the F_STATUS register.
Therefore the F_OVF bit flag will remain asserted while the FIFO has overflowed and the F_WMRK_FLAG bit flag will remain
asserted while the F_CNT value is greater than the F_WMRK value.

Table 14. FIFO Sample Count Description
F_CNT[5:0]
FIFO sample counter. Default value: 00_0000.
(00_0001 to 10_0000 indicates 1 to 32 samples stored in FIFO
F_CNT[5:0] bits indicate the number of acceleration samples currently stored in the FIFO buffer. Count 000000 indicates that the
FIFO is empty.
0x11: F_8DATA 8-Bit FIFO Data
F_8DATA provides access to the previous (up to) 32 samples of X, Y, and Z-axis acceleration data at 8-bit resolution. Use
F_12DATA to access the same FIFO data at 12-bit resolution. The advantage of F_8DATA access is much faster download of
the sample data, since it is represented by only 3 bytes per sample (OUT_X_MSB, OUT_Y_MSB, and OUT_Z_MSB).
All reads to address 0x01 returns the sensor sampled data in the FIFO buffer, 3 bytes per sample (one byte per axis), with the
oldest samples first, in order OUT_X_MSB, OUT_Y_MSB, and OUT_Z_MSB. When all samples indicated by the FIFO_Status
register have been read from the FIFO, subsequent reads will return 0x00. Since the FIFO holds a maximum of 32 samples, a
maximum of 3 x 32 = 96 data bytes of samples can be read.
The FIFO will not accumulate more sample data during an access to F_8DATA until a STOP or repeated START occurs.

The host application should initially perform a single byte read of the FIFO status byte (address 0x10) to determine the status
of the FIFO and if it is determined that the FIFO contains data sample(s), the FIFO contents can also be read from register
address location 0x01 or 0x05.
0x12: F_12DATA 12-Bit FIFO Data
F_12DATA provides access to the previous (up to) 32 samples of X, Y, and Z-axis acceleration data, at 12-bit resolution. Use
F_8DATA to access the same FIFO data at 8-bit resolution. The advantage of F_8DATA access is much faster download of the
sample data, since it is represented by only 3 bytes per sample (OUT_X_MSB, OUT_Y_MSB, and OUT_Z_MSB).
When the FDE bit is set to logic 1, the F_12DATA FIFO root data pointer shares the same address location as the
OUT_X_MSB register (0x05); therefore all 12-bit accesses of the FIFO buffer data must use the I2C register address 0x05. All
reads to the register address 0x02, 0x03, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08, 0x09, and 0x0A return a value of 0x00.
All reads from address (0x05) return the sample data, oldest samples first, in order OUT_X_LSB OUT_X_MSB, OUT_Y_LSB,
OUT_Y_MSB, OUT_Z_LSB, and OUT_Z_MSB. When all samples indicated by the F_Status byte have been read from the FIFO,
subsequent reads will return 0x00. Since the FIFO holds a maximum of 32 samples, a maximum of 6 x 32 = 192 data bytes can
be read.
The FIFO will not accumulate more sample data during an access to F_12DATA until a STOP or repeated START occurs.

0x13: F_SETUP FIFO Setup Register
This setup register is used to configure the options for the FIFO. The FIFO can operate in 3 states which are defined in the
Mode Bits. The watermark bits are configurable to set the number of samples of data to trigger the watermark event flag. The
maximum number of samples is 32. For more information on the FIFO configuration refer to AN3920.

Table 15. F_SETUP Description
BITS
Description
F_MODE[1:0](1)(2)(3)
FIFO buffer overflow mode. Default value: 0.
00: FIFO is disabled.
01: FIFO contains the most recent samples when overflowed (circular buffer). Oldest sample is discarded to
be replaced by new sample.
10: FIFO stops accepting new samples when overflowed.
11: Not Used.
The FIFO is flushed whenever the FIFO is disabled, during an automatic ODR change (Auto-Wake/Sleep), or
transitioning from “STANDBY” mode to “ACTIVE” mode.
Disabling the FIFO (F_MODE = 00) resets the F_OVF, F_WMRK_FLAG, F_CNT to zero.
A FIFO overflow event (i.e., F_CNT = 32) will assert the F_OVF flag and a FIFO sample count equal to the
sample count watermark (i.e., F_WMRK) asserts the F_WMRK_FLAG event flag.
F_WMRK[5:0](2)
FIFO Event Sample Count Watermark. Default value: 00_0000.
These bits set the number of FIFO samples required to trigger a watermark interrupt. A FIFO watermark event
flag (F_WMK_FLAG) is raised when FIFO sample count F_CNT[5:0] value is equal to the F_ WMRK[5:0]
watermark.
Setting the F_WMRK[5:0] to 00_0000 will disable the FIFO watermark event flag generation.
1. Bit field can be written in ACTIVE mode.
2. Bit field can be written in STANDBY mode.
3. The FIFO mode (F_MODE) cannot be switched between the two operational modes (01and 10) in Active Mode.
A FIFO sample count exceeding the watermark event does not stop the FIFO from accepting new data. The FIFO update rate
is dictated by the selected system ODR. In active mode the ODR is set by the DR register in the CTRL_REG1 register and when
Auto-Sleep is active the ODR is set by the ASLP_RATE field in the CTRL_REG1 register.
When a byte is read from the FIFO buffer the oldest sample data in the FIFO buffer is returned and also deleted from the front
of the FIFO buffer, while the FIFO sample count is decremented by one. It is assumed that the host application shall use the I2C
multi-read transaction to empty the FIFO.
The FIFO mode can be changed while in the active state. The mode must first be disabled F_MODE = 00 then the Mode can
be changed.
0x14: SYSMOD System Mode Register
The system mode register indicates the current device operating mode. Applications using the Auto-Sleep/Auto-Wake
mechanism should use this register to synchronize the application with the device operating mode transitions. The system mode
register also indicates the status of the NVM parity error and FIFO gate error flags.

System Mode. Default value: 00.
00: Standby mode
01: Wake mode
10: Sleep mode
The FIFO Gate is set in Register 0x3A for the device configured for Auto-Wake/Sleep mode to allow the buffer to preserve the
data without automatically flushing. If the FIFO buffer is not emptied before the arrival of the next sample, then the FGERR bit in
register 0x14 is asserted. The FGERR remains asserted as long as the FIFO buffer remains un-emptied. Emptying the FIFO
buffer clears the FGERR bit.

0x15: INT_SOURCE System Interrupt Status Register
In the interrupt source register the status of the various embedded features can be determined.The bits that are set (logic ‘1’)
indicate which function has asserted an interrupt and conversely the bits that are cleared (logic ‘0’) indicate which function has
not asserted or has deasserted an interrupt. The interrupts are rising edge sensitive. The bits are set by a low to high transition
and are cleared by reading the appropriate interrupt source register.

Description
Auto-Sleep/Wake interrupt status bit
Logic ‘1’ indicates that an interrupt event that can cause a “Wake-to-Sleep” or “Sleep-to-Wake” system mode transition
has occurred.
Logic ‘0’ indicates that no “Wake-to-Sleep” or “Sleep-to-Wake” system mode transition interrupt event has occurred.
SRC_ASLP
“Wake-to-Sleep” transition occurs when no interrupt occurs for a time period that exceeds the user specified limit
(ASLP_COUNT). This causes the system to transition to a user specified low ODR setting.
“Sleep-to-Wake” transition occurs when the user specified interrupt event has woken the system; thus causing the
system to transition to a user specified high ODR setting.
Reading the SYSMOD register clears the SRC_ASLP bit.
FIFO interrupt status bit
SRC_FIFO
Logic ‘1’ indicates that a FIFO interrupt event such as an overflow event or watermark has occurred. Logic ‘0’ indicates
that no FIFO interrupt event has occurred.
FIFO interrupt event generators: FIFO Overflow, or (Watermark: F_CNT = F_WMRK) and the interrupt has been
enabled.
This bit is cleared by reading the F_STATUS register.
Transient interrupt status bit
SRC_TRANS
Logic ‘1’ indicates that an acceleration transient value greater than user specified threshold has occurred. Logic ‘0’
indicates that no transient event has occurred.
This bit is asserted whenever “EA” bit in the TRANS_SRC is asserted and the interrupt has been enabled.
This bit is cleared by reading the TRANS_SRC register.
Landscape/Portrait Orientation interrupt status bit
SRC_LNDPRT
Logic ‘1’ indicates that an interrupt was generated due to a change in the device orientation status. Logic ‘0’ indicates
that no change in orientation status was detected.
This bit is asserted whenever “NEWLP” bit in the PL_STATUS is asserted and the interrupt has been enabled.
This bit is cleared by reading the PL_STATUS register.
Pulse interrupt status bit
SRC_PULSE
Logic ‘1’ indicates that an interrupt was generated due to single and/or double pulse event. Logic ‘0’ indicates that no
pulse event was detected.
This bit is asserted whenever “EA” bit in the PULSE_SRC is asserted and the interrupt has been enabled.
This bit is cleared by reading the PULSE_SRC register.
Freefall/Motion1 interrupt status bit
Logic ‘1’ indicates that the Freefall/Motion1 function interrupt is active.
SRC_FF_MT_1
Logic ‘0’ indicates that no Freefall or Motion event was detected.
This bit is asserted whenever “EA” bit in the FF_MT_SRC_1 register is asserted and the FF_MT interrupt has been
enabled.
This bit is cleared by reading the FF_MT_SRC_1 register.
Freefall/Motion2 interrupt status bit
Logic ‘1’ indicates that the Freefall/Motion2 function interrupt is active.
SRC_FF_MT_2
Logic ‘0’ indicates that no Freefall or Motion event was detected.
This bit is asserted whenever “EA” bit in the FF_MT_SRC_2 register is asserted and the FF_MT interrupt has been
enabled.
This bit is cleared by reading the FF_MT_SRC_2 register.
Data Ready interrupt bit status
SRC_DRDY
Logic ‘1’ indicates that the X,Y,Z data ready interrupt is active indicating the presence of new data and/or data overrun.
Otherwise if it is a logic ‘0’ the X,Y,Z interrupt is not active.
This bit is asserted when the ZYXOW and/or ZYXDR is set and the interrupt has been enabled.
This bit is cleared by reading the STATUS and X, Y, or Z register.

ELE denotes whether the enabled event flag will be latched in the FF_MT_SRC_1 register or the event flag status in the
FF_MT_SRC_1 will indicate the real-time status of the event. If ELE bit is set to a logic 1, then the event active “EA” flag is cleared
by reading the FF_MT_SRC_1 source register.
ZHEFE, YHEFE, XHEFE enables the detection of a high g event when the measured acceleration data on X, Y, or Z-axis is
higher than the threshold set in FF_MT_THS_1 register.
ZLEFE, YLEFE, XLEFE enables the detection of a low g event when the measured acceleration data on X, Y, or Z-axis is lower
than the threshold set in FF_MT_THS_1 register.
FF_MT_THS_1 is the threshold register used by the Freefall/Motion function to detect Freefall or Motion events. The unsigned
7-bit FF_MT_THS_1 threshold register holds the threshold for the low g event detection where the magnitude of the X and Y and
Z acceleration values are lower than the threshold value. Conversely the FF_MT_THS_1 also holds the threshold for the high g
event detection where the magnitude of the X, or Y, or Z-axis acceleration values is higher than the threshold value.

This register keeps track of the acceleration event which is triggering (or has triggered, in case of ELE bit in FF_MT_CFG_1
register being set to 1) the event flag. In particular EA is set to a logic 1 when the logical combination of acceleration events flags
specified in FF_MT_CFG_1 register is true. This bit is used in combination with the values in INT_EN_FF_MT_1 and
INT_CFG_FF_MT_1 register to generate the Freefall/Motion interrupts.
An X,Y, or Z high or an X,Y, and Z high event is true when the acceleration value of the X or Y or Z axes is higher than the
preset threshold value defined in the FF_MT_THS_1 register.
Conversely X,Y, or Z high or an X,Y, and Z low event is true when the acceleration value of the X and Y and Z axes are lower
than the preset threshold value defined in the FF_MT_THS_1 register.
When the ELE bit is set, only the EA bit is latched. The other bits are not latched. To see the events that have been detected,
the register must be read immediately. The EA bit will remain high until the source register is read.

The minimum threshold resolution is dependent on the selected acceleration g range and the threshold register has a range
of 0 to 127.
Therefore:
• If the selected acceleration g range is 8g mode (FS = 11), the minimum threshold resolution is 0.063g/LSB. The maximum
value is 8g.
• If the selected acceleration g range is 4g mode (FS = 10), the minimum threshold resolution is 0.0315g/LSB. The
maximum value is 4g.
• If the selected acceleration g range is 2g mode (FS = 01), the minimum threshold resolution is 0.01575g/LSB. The
maximum value is 2g.
When DBCNTM bit is a logic ‘1’, the debounce counter is cleared to 0 whenever the event of interest is no longer true (Figure
12 part b) while if the DBCNTM bit is set a logic ‘0’ the debounce counter is decremented by 1 whenever the event of interest is
no longer true (Figure 12 part c) until the debounce counter reaches 0 or the event of interest becomes active.
Decrementing of the debounce counter acts as a median filter enabling the system to filter out irregular spurious events which
might impede the detection of the event.

selected axis exceeding the specified threshold and the end when the acceleration on the selected axis must go below the
specified threshold to be considered a valid pulse.
The minimum time step for the pulse time limit is defined in Table 48. Maximum time for a given ODR is the minimum time
step at the given power mode multiplied by 255. The time steps available are dependent on whether the device is in Normal
Power mode or in Low Power mode. Notice in the table below that the time step is twice as long in Low Power mode.

In order to wake the device, the desired function or functions must be enabled and set to “Wake From Sleep”. All enabled
functions will still function in sleep mode at the sleep ODR. Only the functions that have been selected for “Wake From Sleep”
will wake the device.
MMA8450Q has 6 functions that can be used to keep the sensor from falling asleep namely, Transient, Orientation, Tap,
Motion/FF1 and Motion/FF2 and the FIFO. One or more of these functions can be enabled. In order to wake the device, functions
are provided namely, Transient, Orientation, Tap, and the two Motion/Freefall. Note that the FIFO does not wake the device. The
Auto-Wake/Sleep interrupt does not affect the wake/sleep, nor does the data ready interrupt. The FIFO gate (bit 7) in Register
0x3A, when set, will hold the last data in the FIFO before transitioning to a different ODR. After the buffer is flushed, it will accept
new sample data at the current ODR. See Register 0x3A for the wake from sleep bits.
If the Auto-Sleep bit is disabled, then the device can only toggle between Standby and Wake Mode by writing to the FS0 and
FS1 bits in Register 0x38 CTRL_REG1. If Auto-Sleep interrupt is enabled, transitioning from Active mode to Auto-Sleep mode
and vice versa generates an interrupt.

1. When SLPE = 1, the transitioning between sleep mode and wake mode results in a FIFO flush and a reset of internal functional block counters. All functional block
status information are preserve except otherwise stated. See Table 58 for more information about the FIFO_GATE bit in CTRL_REG3 register.
ST bit activates the Self-Test function. When ST is set to one, an output change will occur to the device outputs (refer to Table 2
and Table 3) thus allowing host application to check the functionality of the entire signal chain.
BOOT bit is used to activate the software reset. The Boot mechanism can be enabled in STANDBY and ACTIVE mode.
When the Boot bit is enabled the Boot mechanism resets all functional block registers and loads the respective internal
registers with default NVM values.
The system will automatically transition to standby mode if not already in standby mode before the software reset (re-BOOT
process) can occur.
Note: The I2C communication system is reset to avoid accidental corrupted data access.

Table 58. CTRL_REG3 Description
0: FIFO gate is bypassed. FIFO is flushed upon the system mode transitioning from wake-to-sleep mode or from sleep-towake mode.
1: The FIFO input buffer is blocked when transitioning from “wake-to-sleep” mode or from “sleep-to-wake” mode until the
FIFO is flushed. Although the system transitions from “wake-to-sleep” or from “sleep-to-wake” the contents of the FIFO
buffer are preserved, new data samples are ignored until the FIFO is emptied by the host application.
If the FIFO_GATE bit is set to logic 1 and the FIFO buffer is not emptied before the arrival of the next sample, then the
FGERR bit in the SYS_MOD register (0x14) will be asserted. The FGERR bit remains asserted as long as the FIFO buffer
remains un-emptied.
Emptying the FIFO buffer clears the FGERR bit in the SYS_MOD register.

The corresponding functional block interrupt enable bit allows the functional block to route its event detection flags to the
system’s interrupt controller. The interrupt controller routes the enabled functional block interrupt to the INT1 or INT2 pin.

The system’s interrupt controller shown in Figure 10 uses the corresponding bit field in the CTRL_REG5 register to determine
the routing table for the INT1 and INT2 interrupt pins. If the bit value is logic ‘0’ the functional block’s interrupt is routed to INT2,
and if the bit value is logic ‘1’ then the interrupt is routed to INT1. One or more functions can assert an interrupt pin; therefore a
host application responding to an interrupt should read the INT_SOURCE (0x15) register to determine the appropriate sources
of the interrupt.

User Offset Correction Registers
For more information on how to calibrate the 0g Offset refer to AN3916 Offset Calibration Using the MMA8450Q. The 2’s
complement offset correction registers values are used to realign the Zero-g position of the X, Y, and Z-axis after device board
mount. The resolution of the offset registers is 3.906 mg per LSB. The 2’s complement 8-bit value would result in an offset
compensation range ±0.5g.
