Functional Description
3.1
Customer Accessible Data Array
A customer accessible data array allows for each device to be customized. The array consists of an OTP factory
programmable block and read/write registers for device programmability and status. The OTP and writable register blocks
incorporate independent CRC circuitry for fault detection (reference Section 3.2). The writable register block includes a locking
mechanism to prevent unintended changes during normal operation. Portions of the array are reserved for factory-programmed
trim values. The customer accessible data is shown in Table 3.

Device Serial Number Registers
A unique serial number is programmed into the serial number registers of each MMA68xx device during manufacturing. The
serial number is composed of the following information:
Bit Range
Content
S12 to S0
Serial Number
S31 to S13
Lot Number
Serial numbers begin at 1 for all produced devices in each lot, and are sequentially assigned. Lot numbers begin at 1 and are
sequentially assigned. No lot will contain more devices than can be uniquely identified by the 13-bit serial number. Depending on
lot size and quantities, all possible lot numbers and serial numbers may not be assigned.
The serial number registers are included in the OTP shadow register array CRC verification. Reference Section 3.2.1 for
details regarding the CRC verification. Beyond this, the contents of the serial number registers have no impact on device
operation or performance, and are only used for traceability purposes.
3.1.2

Self-test Control (ST_X, ST_Y)
The ST_X and ST_Y bits enable and disable the self-test circuitry for their respective axes. Self-test circuitry is enabled if a
logic ’1’ is written to ST_X, or ST_Y and the ENDINIT bit has not been set. Enabling the self-test circuitry results in a positive
acceleration value on the enabled axis. Self-test deflection values are specified in Section 2.4. ST_X and ST_Y are always
cleared following internal reset.
When the self-test circuitry is active, the offset cancellation block and the offset monitor status are suspended, and the status
bits in the Acceleration Data Request Response will indicate ”Self-test Active”. Reference Section 3.8.4 and Section 4.2 for
details. When the self-test circuitry is disabled by clearing the ST_X or ST_Y bit, the offset monitor remains disabled until the time
tST_OMB, specified in Section 2.5, expires. However, the status bits in the Acceleration Data Request Response will immediately
indicate that self-test has been deactivated.

3.3.1
CREG Failure Detection
The digital supply voltage regulator is designed to be unstable with low capacitance. If the connection to the VREG capacitor
becomes open, the digital supply voltage will oscillate and cause either an undervoltage, or overvoltage failure within one internal
sample time. This failure will result in one of the following:
1. The DEVRES flag in the DEVSTAT register will be set. MMA68xx will respond to SPI acceleration requests as
defined in Table 30.
2. MMA68xx will be held in RESET and be non-responsive to SPI requests.
3.3.2
CREGA Failure Detection
The analog supply voltage regulator is designed to be unstable with low capacitance. If the connection to the VREGA capacitor
becomes open, the analog supply voltage will oscillate and cause either an undervoltage, or overvoltage failure within one internal
sample time. The DEVRES flag in the DEVSTAT register will be set. MMA68xx will respond to SPI acceleration requests as
defined in Table 30.
Note: This feature is only supported with a VCC supply voltage in the range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V.
3.3.3
VSS and VSSA Ground Loss Monitor
MMA68xx detects the loss of ground connection to either VSS or VSSA. A loss of ground connection to VSS will result in a VREG
overvoltage failure. A loss of ground connection to VSSA will result in a VREG undervoltage failure. Both failures result in a device
reset.
3.3.4
SPI Initiated Reset
In addition to voltage monitoring, a device reset can be initiated by a specific series of three write operations involving the
RES_1 and RES_0 bits in the DEVCTL register. Reference Section 3.1.5.1. for details regarding the SPI initiated reset.
3.4

Oscillator Monitor
The COUNT register in the customer accessible array is a read-only register which provides the current value of a free-running
8-bit counter derived from the primary oscillator. A 10-bit pre-scaler divides the primary oscillator by 1024. Thus, the value in the
COUNT register increases by one count every 128 μs, and the register rolls over every 32.768 ms. The SPI master can
periodically read the COUNT register, and verify the difference between subsequent register reads against the system time base.

Self-test Interface
The self-test interface applies a voltage to the g-cell, causing deflection of the proof mass. The self-test interface is controlled
through SPI write operations to the DEVCFG_X and DEVCFG_Y registers described in Section 3.1.7. The ENDINIT bit in the
DEVCFG register must also be low to enable self-test. A diagram of the self-test interface is shown in Figure 10.

In normal operation, the offset cancellation circuit computes a 24,576 sample running average of the acceleration data
downsampled to 256 μs. The running average is compared against positive and negative thresholds to determine the offset
correction value that will be applied to the acceleration data.
During start up, three phases of moving average sizes are used to allow for faster convergence of misuse input signals.

When the self-test circuitry is active, the offset cancellation block and the offset monitor block are suspended, and the offset
correction value is constant. Once the self-test circuitry is disabled, the offset cancellation block remains suspended for the time
tST_OMB to allow the acceleration output to return to its nominal offset.
3.8.5
Offset Monitor
MMA68xx provides the option for an offset monitor circuit. The offset monitor circuit is enabled when the OFMON bit in the
DEVCFG register is programmed to a logic ‘1’. The output of the offset cancellation circuit is compared against a high and low
threshold. If the offset correction value exceeds either the OFFTHRPOS, or OFFTHRNEG threshold, an Offset Over Range
condition is indicated.
The offset correction value update rate is listed in Table 28. Because the offset monitor uses this value, the offset monitor will
also update at this rate. The time to indicate an Offset Over Range is dependent upon the input signal.
The offset monitor status remains frozen during self-test, because the offset monitor is based on the offset cancellation circuit,
which is also suspended during self-test. The offset monitor is disabled for 2.1 seconds following reset regardless of the state of
the OFMON bit.
3.8.6

Acceleration Data Timing
The MMA68xx SPI uses a request/response protocol, where a SPI transfer is completed through a sequence of 2 phases.
Reference Section 4 for more details regarding the SPI protocol. In order to provide the most recent acceleration data for each
request, MMA68xx latches the associated data for an acceleration request at the falling edge of CS for the acceleration response
message (the subsequent SPI transfer). The most recent sample available from the DSP (including interpolation), is latched,
providing a maximum latency of 1* tS relative to the falling edge of CS.

Arming Function
MMA68xx provides the option for an arming function with 3 modes of operation. The operation of the arming function is
selected by the state of the A_CFG bits in the DEVCFG register.
Reference Section 4.5 for the operation of the Arming function with exception conditions. Error conditions do not impact prior
arming function responses. If an error occurs after an arming activation, the corresponding pulse stretch for the existing arming
condition will continue. However, new acceleration reads will not update the arming function regardless of the acceleration value.
3.8.9.1
Arming Function: Moving Average Mode
In moving average mode, the arming function runs a moving average on the offset cancelled output of each acceleration axis.
The number of samples used for the moving average (k) is programmable via the AWS_Xx[1:0] and ARM_Yx[1:0] bits in the
ARMCFGX and ARMCFGY registers. Reference Section 3.1.8 for register details.
ARM_MAn = (OCn + OCn-1 + ... + OCn+1-k)/k
Where n is the current sample.
The sample rate for each axis is determined by the SPI acceleration data sample rate. At the falling edge of CS for an
acceleration data SPI response, the moving average for the associated axis is updated with a new sample. Reference Figure 26.
The SPI acceleration data sample rate must meet the minimum time between requests (tACC_REQ_x) specified in Section 2.5.
The moving average output is compared against positive and negative 8-bit thresholds that are individually programmed for
each axis via the ARMT_Xx and ARMT_Yx registers. Reference Section 3.1.9 for register details. If the moving average equals
or exceeds either threshold, an arming condition is indicated, the ARM_X or ARM_Y output is asserted for the associated axis,
and the pulse stretch counter is set as described in Section 3.8.9.4.
The ARM_X or ARM_Y output is de-asserted only when the pulse stretch counter expires. Figure 26 shows the arming output
operation for different SPI conditions.

Arming Function: Count Mode
In count mode, the arming function compares each input sample against positive and negative thresholds that are individually
programmed for each axis via the ARMT_Xx and ARMT_Yx registers. Reference Section 3.1.9 for register details. If the sample
equals or exceeds either threshold, a sample counter is incremented. If the sample does not exceed either threshold, the sample
counter is reset to zero.
The sample rate for each axis is determined by the SPI acceleration data sample rate. At the falling edge of CS for an
acceleration data SPI response, a new sample for the associated axis is compared against the thresholds. Reference Figure 26.
The SPI acceleration data sample rate must meet the minimum time between requests (tACC_REQ_x) specified in Section 2.5.
A sample count limit is programmable via the AWS_Xx[1:0] and AWS_Yx[1:0] bits in the ARMCFGX and ARMCFGY registers.
If the sample count reaches the programmable sample count limit, an arming condition is indicated, the ARM_X or ARM_Y output
is asserted for the associated axis, and the pulse stretch counter is set as described in Section 3.8.9.4.
The ARM_X or ARM_Y output is de-asserted only when the pulse stretch counter expires. Figure 26 shows the arming output
operation for different SPI conditions.

Arming Function: Unfiltered Mode
On the falling edge of CS for an acceleration response, the most recent available DSP sample for the requested axis is
compared against positive and negative thresholds that are individually programmed for each axis via the ARMT_Xx and
ARMT_Yx registers. Reference Section 3.1.9 for register details. If the sample equals or exceeds either threshold, an arming
condition is indicated.
Once an arming condition is indicated for the X-axis, the ARM_X output is asserted when CS is asserted and the MISO data
includes an acceleration response for that axis.
Once an arming condition is indicated for the Y-axis, the ARM_Y output is asserted when CS is asserted and the MISO data
includes an acceleration response for that axis.
The pulse stretch function is not applied in Unfiltered mode.

Arming Pulse Stretch Function
A pulse stretch function can be applied to the arming outputs in moving average mode, or count mode.
If the pulse stretch function is not used (APS_X[1:0] = ’00’ or APS_Y[1:0] = ’00’), the arming output is asserted if and only if
an arming condition exists for the associated axis after the most recent evaluated sample. The arming output is de-asserted if
and only if an arming condition does not exist for the associated axis after the most recent evaluated sample. If the pulse stretch
function is used, (APS_X[1:0] not equal ’00’ or APS_Y[1:0] not equal ’00’), the arming output is controlled only by the value of
the pulse stretch timer value. If the pulse stretch timer value is non-zero, the arming output is asserted. If the pulse stretch timer
is zero, the arming output is de-asserted. The pulse stretch counter continuously decrements until it reaches zero. The pulse
stretch counter is reset to the programmed pulse stretch value if and only if an arming condition exists for the associated axis
after the most recent evaluated sample. Reference Figure 26.
The desired pulse stretch time is individually programmable for each axis via the APS_X[1:0] and APS_Y[1:0] bits in the
ARMCFG register.
Exception conditions listed in Section 4.5 do not impact prior arming function responses. If an exception occurs after an arming
activation, the corresponding pulse stretch for the existing arming condition will continue. However, new acceleration reads will
not reset the pulse stretch counter regardless of the acceleration value.
3.8.9.5
Arming Pin Output Structure
The arming output pin structure can be set to active high, or active low with the A_CFG bits in the DEVCFG register as
described in Section 3.1.6.5. The active high and active low pin output structures are shown in Figure 29.

3.8.10 PCM Output Function
MMA68xx provides the option for a PCM output function. The PCM output is enabled by setting the A_CFG bits in the DEVCFG
register to the appropriate state as described in Section 3.1.6.5. When the PCM function is enabled, the upper 9 bits of the
10-bit, offset cancelled, output scaled acceleration values are used to generate 8 MHz Pulse Code Modulated signals
proportional to the respective acceleration onto the PCM_X and PCM_Y pins. A block diagram of the PCM output is shown in
Figure 30.

Serial Peripheral Interface
MMA68xx includes a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) to provide access to the configuration registers and digital data.
Reference Section 4 for details regarding the SPI protocol and available commands.
To maximize independence between the X and Y channels, MMA68xx includes two interface blocks, one for each axis. The
X-axis interface block responds only to X-axis acceleration requests, or even addressed register commands. The Y-axis interface
block responds only to Y-axis acceleration requests, or odd addressed register commands. To the SPI master, MMA68xx
operates as a single device. The internal independent blocks are transparent.
Each SPI block has an independent shift register. Once a message is received (rising edge of CS), the contents of the two
shift registers are compared. If the contents do not match, the Y-axis SPI block will not respond, and the X-axis SPI block will
respond with a SPI Error as shown in Table 30. If the contents match, each SPI block decodes the message, and the appropriate
block enables MISO for a response during the next SPI message.
Figure 31 shows an internal diagram of the MMA68xx SPI.

Overload Response
3.11.1 Overload Performance
MMA68xx is designed to operate within a specified range. Acceleration beyond that range (overload) impacts the output of the
sensor. Acceleration beyond the range of the device can generate a DC shift at the output of the device that is dependent upon
the overload frequency and amplitude. The MMA68xx g-cell is overdamped, providing the optimal design for overload
performance. However, the performance of the device during an overload condition is affected by many other parameters,
including:
• g-cell damping
• Non-linearity
• Clipping limits
• Symmetry
Figure 33 shows the g-cell, ADC and output clipping of MMA68xx over frequency. The relevant parameters are specified in
Section 2.1, and Section 2.6.

3.11.2 Sigma Delta Over Range Response
Over range conditions exist when the signal level is beyond the full-scale range of the device but within the computational limits
of the DSP. The ΣΔ converter can saturate at levels above those specified in Section 2.1 (GADC_CLIP). The DSP operates
predictably under all cases of over range, although the signal may include residual high frequency components for some time
after returning to the normal range of operation due to non-linear effects of the sensor.

SPI Communications
Communication with MMA68xx is completed through synchronous serial transfers via SPI. MMA68xx is a slave device
configured for CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0, MSB first. SPI transfers are completed through a sequence of two phases. During the first
phase, the type of transfer and associated control information is transmitted from the SPI master to MMA68xx. Data from
MMA68xx is transmitted during the second phase. Any activity on MOSI or SCLK is ignored when CS is negated. Consequently,
intermediate transfers involving other SPI devices may occur between phase one and phase two. Reference Figure 34.

Acceleration Data Transfers
Acceleration data requests are initiated when the Acceleration bit of the SPI command message (A) is set to a logic ’1’. The
Axis Selection bit (AX) and the Offset Cancellation Selection bit (OC) of the command message select the type of acceleration
data requested, as shown in Table 31.

To verify that MMA68xx is configured as expected, each acceleration data request includes the configuration information that
impacts the output data. The requested configuration is compared against the data programmed in the writable register array.
Details are shown in Table 32.

If the data listed in Table 32 does not does not match, an Acceleration Data Request Mismatch failure is detected and no
acceleration data is transmitted. Reference Section 4.5.3.1.
Acceleration data request commands include a parity bit (P). Odd parity is employed. The number of logic ’1’ bits in the
acceleration data request command must be an odd number.
Acceleration data is transmitted on the next SPI message if and only if all of the following conditions are met:
• The DEVINIT bit in the DEVSTAT register is not set
• The DEVRES bit in the DEVSTAT register is not set
• The IDE bit in the DEVSTAT register is not set (Reference Section 4.5.5)
• No SPI Error is detected (Reference Section 4.5.1)
• No MISO Error is detected (Reference Section 4.5.2)
• No Acceleration Data Request Mismatch failure is detected (Reference Section 4.5.3.1)
• No Self-test Error is present (reference Section 4.5.5.2)
If the above conditions are met, MMA68xx responds with a “valid acceleration data request” response as shown in Table 30.
Otherwise, MMA68xx responds as specified in Section 4.5.
4.4
Register Access Operations
Two types of register access operations are supported; register write, and register read. Register access operations are
initiated when the acceleration bit (A) of the command message is set to a logic ’0’. The operation to be performed is indicated
by the Access Selection bit (AX) of the command message.

Register Write Request
During a register write request, bits 12 through 8 contain a 5-bit address, and bits 7 through 0 contain the data value to be
written. Writable registers are defined in Table 3.
The response to a register write operation is shown in Table 30. The response is transmitted on the next SPI message if and
only if all of the following conditions are met:
• No SPI Error is detected (Reference Section 4.5.1)
• No MISO Error is detected (Reference Section 4.5.2)
• The ENDINIT bit is cleared (Reference Section 3.1.6.2)
– This applies to all registers with the exception of the DEVCTL register
• No Invalid Register Request is detected (Reference Section 4.5.3.2)
If the above conditions are met, MMA68xx responds to the register write request as shown in Table 30. Otherwise, MMA68xx
Responds as specified in Section 4.5.
Register write operations do not occur internally until the transfer during which they are requested has been completed. In the
event that a SPI Error is detected during a register write transfer, the write operation is not completed.
4.4.2
Register Read Request
During a register read request, bits 12 through 8 contain the 5-bit address for the register to be read. Bits 7 through 0 must be
logic ’0’. Readable registers are defined in Table 3.
The response to a register read operation is shown in Table 30. The response is transmitted on the next SPI message if and
only if all of the following conditions are met:
• No SPI Error is detected (Reference Section 4.5.1)
• No MISO Error is detected (Reference Section 4.5.2)
• No Invalid Register Request is detected (Reference Section 4.5.3.2)
If the above conditions are met, MMA68xx responds to the register read request as shown in Table 30. Otherwise, MMA68xx
responds as specified in Section 4.5.
4.5
Exception Handling
The following sections describe the conditions for each detectable exception, and the MMA68xx response for each exception.

SPI Error
The following SPI conditions result in a SPI error:
• SCLK is high when CS is asserted the number of SCLK rising edges detected while CS is asserted is not equal
to 16
• SCLK is high when CS is negated
• Command message parity error (MOSI)
• Bit 15 of Acceleration Data Request is not equal to ‘0’
• Bits 3 through 11 of an Acceleration Request are not equal to ‘0’
• Bits 0 through 7 of a Register Read Request are not equal to ‘0’
MMA68xx responds to a SPI error with a “SPI Error” response as shown in Table 30. This applies to both acceleration data
request SPI errors, and Register Access SPI errors.
The arming function will not be updated if a SPI Error is detected. The PCM output is not affected by a SPI Error.
4.5.2
SPI Data Output Verification Error
MMA68xx includes a function to verify the integrity of the data output to the MISO pin. The function reads the data transmitted
on the MISO pin and compares it against the data intended to be transmitted. If any one bit doesn’t match, a SPI MISO Mismatch
Fault is detected and the MISOERR flag in the DEVSTAT register is set.
If a valid SPI acceleration request message is received during the SPI transfer with the MISO mismatch failure, the SPI
acceleration request message is ignored and MMA68xx responds with a “MISO Error” response during the subsequent SPI
message (reference Table 30). The Arming function is not updated if a MISO mismatch failure occurs. The PCM function is not
affected by the MISO mismatch failure.
If a valid SPI register write request message is received during the SPI transfer with the MISO mismatch failure, the register
write is completed as requested, but MMA68xx responds with a “MISO Error” response as shown in Table 30, during the
subsequent SPI message.
If a valid SPI register read request message is received during the SPI transfer with the MISO mismatch failure, the register
read is ignored and MMA68xx responds with a “MISO Error” response as shown in Table 30, during the subsequent SPI
message. If the register read request is for the DEVSTAT register, the DEVSTAT register will not be cleared.
In all cases, the MISOERR flag in the DEVSTAT register will remain set until a successful SPI Register Read Request of the
DEVSTAT register is completed.

Invalid Requests
Acceleration Data Request Mismatch Failure
MMA68xx detects an “Acceleration Data Request Mismatch” error if the SPI “Acceleration Data Request” Command data listed
in Table 32 does not match the internal register settings. MMA68xx responds to an “Acceleration Data Request Mismatch” error
with an “Invalid Accel Request” response as specified in Table 30 on the subsequent SPI message only. No internal fault is
recorded. The arming function will not be updated if an “Acceleration Data Request Mismatch” Error is detected. The PCM output
is not affected by the “Acceleration Data Request Mismatch” error.
Register operations will be executed as specified in Section 4.4.

4.5.3.2
Invalid Register Request
The following conditions result in an “Invalid Register Request” error:
• An attempt is made to write to an un-writable register (Writable registers are defined in Section 3.1, Table 3).
• An attempt is made to write to a register while the ENDINIT bit in the DEVCFG register is set
– This applies to all registers with the exception of the DEVCTL register
• An attempt is made to read an un-readable register (Readable registers are defined in Section 3.1, Table 3).
MMA68xx responds to an “Invalid Register Request” error with an “Invalid Register Request” response as shown in Table 30.
4.5.4
Device Reset Indications
If the DEVINIT, or DEVRES bit is set in the DEVSTAT register as described in Section 3.1.10, MMA68xx will respond to
acceleration data requests with an “Internal Error Present” response until the bits are cleared in the DEVSTAT register. The
DEVINIT bit is cleared automatically when device initialization is complete (Reference tOP in Section 2.6). The DEVRES bit is
cleared on a read of the DEVSTAT register. The arming function will not be updated on Acceleration Data Request commands if
the DEVINIT or DEVRES bit is set in the DEVSTAT register. The PCM output is disabled if the DEVINIT or DEVRES bit is set.
4.5.5
Internal Error
The following errors will result in an internal error, and set the IDE bit in the DEVSTAT register:
• OTP CRC Failure
• Writable Register CRC Failure
• Self-test Error
• Invalid internal logic states
4.5.5.1
CRC Error
If the IDE bit is set in the DEVSTAT register due to an OTP Shadow Register or Writable Register CRC failure as described in
Section 3.2, MMA68xx will respond to acceleration data requests with an “Internal Error Present” response until the IDE bit is
cleared in the DEVSTAT register. The arming function will not be updated on Acceleration Data Request commands if a CRC
Error is detected. The PCM output is not affected by the CRC error.
If the CRC error is in the writable register array, and the ENDINIT bit in the DEVCFG register has been set, the error can only
be cleared by a device reset. The IDE bit will not be cleared on a read of the DEVSTAT register.
If the CRC error is in the OTP shadow register array, the error cannot be cleared.
Register operations will be executed as specified in Section 4.4.
4.5.5.2
Self-test Error
If the IDE bit is set in the DEVSTAT register due to a Self-test activation failure, MMA68xx will respond to acceleration data
requests with a “Self-test Error” response until the IDE bit is cleared in the DEVSTAT register. The arming function will not be
updated on Acceleration Data Request commands if a Self-test Error is detected. The PCM output is not affected by the Self test Error. The IDE bit in the DEVSTAT register will remain set until a read of the DEVSTAT register occurs, even if the internal
failure is removed. If the internal error is still present when the DEVSTAT register is read, the IDE bit will remain set.
Register operations will be executed as specified in Section 4.4.
4.5.6
Offset Monitor Over Range
If an offset monitor over range is present as described in Section 3.8.5, MMA68xx will respond to an acceleration request for
the corresponding axis with a “Valid Acceleration Data Request” response, but the Status bits (S[1:0]) will be set to ‘10’. The
arming function will be updated on Acceleration Data Request commands even if an Offset Monitor Over Range is detected. Once
the over range condition is removed, MMA68xx will respond to acceleration requests with a “Valid Acceleration Data Request”
response with the Status bits (S[1:0]) set to ’10’ on the next SPI transfer, and a “Valid Acceleration Data Request” response with
normal status on subsequent SPI transfers. The OFFSET_X or OFFSET_Y bit in the DEVSTAT register will remain set until a
read of the DEVSTAT register occurs.
The PCM output is not affected by the offset monitor over range condition.
Register operations will be executed as specified in Section 4.4.

4.5.7
ΣΔ Over Range
If a ΣΔ Over Range failure is present as described in Section 3.11.2, MMA68xx will respond to acceleration data requests with
a "Valid Acceleration Data Request" response, but the Status bits (S[1:0]) will be set to ’10’. The arming function will be updated
on Acceleration Data Request commands even if a ΣΔ Over Range is detected. Once the over range condition is removed,
MMA68xx will respond to acceleration requests with a "Valid Acceleration Data Request" response with the Status bits (S[1:0])
set to ’10’ on the next SPI transfer, and a "Valid Acceleration Data Request" response with normal status on subsequent SPI
transfers. The SDOV bit in the DEVSTAT register will remain set until a read of the DEVSTAT register occurs.
The PCM output is not affected by the ΣΔ over range condition.
Register operations will be executed as specified in Section 4.4.
4.6
Initialization SPI Response
The first data transmitted by MMA68xx following reset is the SPI Error response shown in Table 30. This ensures that an
unexpected reset will always be detectable. MMA68xx will respond to all acceleration data requests with the "Invalid Acceleration
Data Request" response until the DEVRES bit in the DEVSTAT register is cleared via a read of the DEVSTAT register. The arming
function will not be updated on Acceleration Data Request commands until the DEVRES bit in the DEVSTAT register is cleared.
4.7
Acceleration Data Representation
Acceleration values are determined from the 10-bit digital output (DV) using the following equations:
Acceleration = Sensitivity LSB × DV
For Signed Data
Acceleration = Sensitivity LSB × ( DV – 512 )
For Unsigned Data
The linear range of digital values for signed data is –480 to +480, and for unsigned data is 32 to 992. Resulting ranges and
some nominal acceleration values are shown in the following table.
