MMA8491Q
The MMA8491Q is a low voltage, 3-axis low-g accelerometer housed in a
3 mm x 3 mm QFN package. The device can accommodate two
accelerometer configurations, acting as either a 45° tilt sensor or a digital
output accelerometer with I2C bus.
Bottom View
•
As a 45° Tilt Sensor, the MMA8491Q device offers extreme ease of
implementation by using a single line output per axis.
•
As a digital output accelerometer, the 14-bit ±8g accelerometer data can
be read from the device with a 1 mg/LSB sensitivity.
The extreme low power capabilities of the MMA8491Q will reduce the low data
rate current consumption to less than 400 nA per Hz.

•
A capacitor must be connected to the Bypass pin (pin 1) to assist the internal voltage regulator. It is recommended to use a
0.1 μF capacitor. The capacitor should be placed as near as possible to the Bypass pin.
•
The device power is supplied through the VDD line. The power supply decoupling capacitor should be placed as close as
possible to the VDD pin.
—
Use a 1.0 or 4.7 μF capacitor when the VDD and EN are not tied together.
—
When VDD and EN are tied together, then use a 0.1 μF capacitor. The 0.1 μF capacitor value has been chosen to
minimize the average current consumption while still maintaining an acceptable level of power supply highfrequency filtering.
•
Both ground pins (pins 6 and 7) must be connected to ground.
•
When the I2C communication line is used, use a pullup resistor to connect to line SDA and SCL. The SCL line can be driven
by a push-pull driver, in which case, no pull-up resistor is necessary. If SDA and SCL pins are not used, then they should be
tied to ground.

Only digital output subsystem is enabled.
Data is valid and available only in this stage.
Deasserted, Xout = 0, Yout= 0, Zout = 0
Active, I2C outputs become valid
ACTIVE mode
The accelerometer subsystem is turned on at the rising edge of the EN pin, and acquires one sample for each of the three axes.
Note that EN should not be asserted before VDD reaches 1.95V. Samples are acquired, converted, and compensated for zero-g
offset and gain errors, and then compared to an internal threshold value of 0.688g and stored.
•
If any of the X, Y, Z axes sample’s absolute value > this threshold, then the corresponding outputs on these axes drive
logic highs.
•
If any of the X, Y, Z axes sample’s absolute value ≤ this threshold, then the corresponding outputs on these axes drive
logic lows.
Read register 0x00 in this stage to determine whether the sample data is ready to be read.
3.2
STANDBY mode
The device enter STANDBY mode automatically after the previously described function (powers into SHUTDOWN mode,
ACTIVE mode) is accomplished. The digital output system outputs valid data, which can also be read via the I2C communication
bus. This is the appropriate phase to read the measured data, either from the 3 push-pull logic outputs or through the I2C
transaction. All other subsystems are turned off.
These outputs are held until the MMA8491Q operation mode changes. For lower power consumption, deassert the EN pin as
soon as data is read (to enter SHUTDOWN mode).
3.3
Next sample acquisition
The MMA8491Q needs to be brought back to the ACTIVE mode again by pulling EN pin up to a Logic 1. Another option is to
power down the device and start from OFF mode as illustrated in Figure 7.
For applications where sampling intervals are greater than 30 seconds, the host can shut off the tilt sensor power after acquisition
of tilt sensor output data to conserve energy and prolong battery life.

The output value changes according to the absolute value of the acceleration of the MMA8491Q compared to the threshold:
•
When the acceleration’s absolute value > the threshold 0.688g, the output = ‘1’.
•
When the acceleration’s absolute value ≤ the threshold, the output = ‘0’.
⎧ 1, when
Output = ⎨
⎩ 0, when
( g-value > 0.688g )
( g-value ≤ 0.688g )
For example,
•
When the MMA8491Q is set on a table, it senses 1g acceleration on Z-axis and senses 0g on X and Y axes.
•
When the MMA8491Q is flipped upside down on the table, it senses -1g acceleration on Z-axis and senses 0g on X and Y
axes.
In both cases Xout = 0, Yout = 0, and Zout = 1.

Serial Interface (I2C)
4
Acceleration data may be accessed through an I2C interface thus making the device particularly suitable for direct interfacing with
a microcontroller. The MMA8491Q features three interrupt signals which indicate the tilt-sensing results on X, Y, Z axis
respectively. The raw accelerometer data are readable via I2C at the same time when interrupt signal is available.
The registers embedded inside the MMA8491Q are accessible through the I2C serial interface (Table 8). To enable the I2C
interface, the EN pin must be HIGH. If either EN or VDD are absent, the MMA8491Q I2C interface reads invalid data. The I2C
interface may be used for communications along with other I2C devices. Removing power from the VDD pin of the MMA8491Q
does not affect the I2C bus.

Description

SCL
I C Serial Clock
SDA
I2C Serial Data
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 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,
Table 6).
I2C operation
4.1
The transaction on the bus is started through a start condition (START) signal. A 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 8th 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 7 bits after a start condition with its
address. If they match, then 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.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition on SDA while SCL 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 MMA8491Q expects repeated STARTs to be used to
randomly read from specific registers.
The MMA8491Q accelerometer standard 7-bit slave address is 01010101(0x55).

The transmission of an 8-bit command begins on the falling edge of SCL. After the 8 clock cycles are used to send the command,
note that the data returned is sent with the MSB first after the data is received. Figure 10 shows the timing diagram for the
accelerometer 8-bit I2C read operation.

The Master (or MCU) transmits a start condition (ST) to the MMA8491Q, slave address (0x55), with the R/W bit set to
“0” for a write, and the MMA8491Q sends an acknowledgement.
Then the Master (or MCU) transmits the address of the register to read and the MMA8491Q sends an
acknowledgement.
The Master (or MCU) transmits a repeated start condition (SR) and then addresses the MMA8491Q (0x1D) 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) 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 MMA8491Q 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 MMA8491Q acknowledgment (AK) is received, until a no acknowledge (NAK)
occurs from the Master, followed by a stop condition (SP) signaling an end of transmission.

Read time status
1. Register contents are preserved when EN pin is set high after sampling.
2. Register contents are reset when EN pin is set low.
3. Auto-increment is the I2C feature that the I2C read address is automatically updated after each read. 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 cleared whenever a stop-bit is detected.

Accelerometer data registers (0x01–0x06)
These registers contain the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis14-bit output sample data (expressed as 2's complement numbers).
•
OUT_X_MSB, OUT_X_LSB, OUT_Y_MSB, OUT_Y_LSB, OUT_Z_MSB, and OUT_Z_LSB are stored in the autoincrementing address range of 0x01 – 0x06.
•
The LSB registers can only be read immediately following the read access of the corresponding MSB register.
A random read access to the LSB registers is not possible.
•
Reading the MSB register and then the LSB register in sequence ensures that both bytes (LSB and MSB) belong to the same
data sample, even if a new data sample arrives between reading the MSB and the LSB byte.
•
The accelerometer data registers should be read only after the status register has confirmed that new data on all axes is
available.

Mounting Guidelines
Surface mount printed circuit board (PCB) 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 PCB and the package. With the
correct footprint, the packages will self-align when subjected to a solder reflow process. The purpose is to minimize the stress
on the package after board mounting. The MMA8491Q accelerometers use the QFN package. This section describes suggested
methods of soldering and mounting these devices to the PCB for consumer applications.
6.1
Overview of soldering considerations
The information provided here is based on experiments executed on QFN devices. They do not represent exact conditions
present at a customer site. Hence, information herein should be used as 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.
6.2
Halogen content
This package is designed to be Halogen Free, exceeding most industry and customer standards. Halogen Free means that no
homogeneous material within the assembly package shall contain chlorine (Cl) in excess of 700 ppm or 0.07% weight/weight or
bromine (Br) in excess of 900 ppm or 0.09% weight/weight.

Do not solder down Exposed Pad (EP) under the package to minimize board mounting stress impact to product
performance.
PCB landing pad is 0.675 mm x 0.325 mm as shown in Figure 12.
Solder mask opening = PCB land pad edge + 0.2 mm larger all around.
Stencil opening size is 0.625 mm x 0.3 mm.
Stencil thickness is 100 or 125 μm.
The solder mask should not cover any of the PCB landing pads, as shown in Figure 12.
No additional via nor metal pattern underneath package on the top of the PCB layer.
Do not place any components or vias within 2 mm of the package land area. This may cause additional package stress
if it is too close to the package land area.
Signal traces connected to pads should be as symmetric as possible. Put dummy traces on NC pads, to have same
length of exposed trace for all pads.
Use a standard pick and place process and equipment. Do not use a hand soldering process.
Customers are advised to be cautious about the proximity of screw down holes to the sensor, and the location of any
press fit to the assembled PCB when in an enclosure. It is important that the assembled PCB remain flat after
assembly to keep electronic operation of the device optimal.
The PCB should be rated for the multiple lead-free reflow condition with max 260°C temperature.
Freescale 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 tinsilver-copper (Sn-Ag-Cu) solder paste soldering processes. Reflow profiles applicable to those processes can be used
successfully for soldering the devices.
