The sensing element, capable to detect the acceleration, is manufactured using a dedicated process called THELMA (Thick Epi-Poly Layer for Microactuators and Accelerometers) developed by ST to produce inertial sensors and actuators in silicon. The IC interface instead is manufactured using a CMOS process that allows high level of integration to design a dedicated circuit which is trimmed to better match the sensing element characteristics.

The complete device includes a sensing element and an IC interface able to take the information from the sensing element and to provide an analog signal to the external world. 3.1 Sensing element The THELMA process is utilized to create a surface micro-machined accelerometer. The technology allows to carry out suspended silicon structures which are attached to the substrate in a few points called anchors and free to move on a plane parallel to the substrate itself. To be compatible with the traditional packaging techniques a cap is placed on top of the sensing element to avoid blocking the moving parts during the molding phase. The equivalent circuit for the sensing element is shown in the figure below; when a linear acceleration is applied, the proof mass displaces from its nominal position, causing an imbalance in the capacitive half-bridge. This imbalance is measured using charge integration in response to a voltage pulse applied to the sense capacitor. Figure 4. Equivalent electrical circuit Cps1 Rs1 S1x Cpr Cs1x Rr Cs2x S2x Cps2 Rs2 Cps1 Rs1 S1y Cs1y Cpr Rr rot Cs2y S2y Cps2 Rs2 Cps1 Rs1 S1z Cs1z Cpr Rr Cs2z S2z Cps2 Rs2 5/9 LIS3L02AQ The nominal value of the capacitors, at steady state, is few pF and when an acceleration is applied the maximum variation of the capacitive load is few hundredths of pF. 3.2 IC Interface The complete signal processing uses a fully differential structure, while the final stage converts the differential signal into a single-ended one to be compatible with the external world. The first stage is a low-noise capacitive amplifier that implements a Correlated Double Sampling (CDS) at its output to cancel the offset and the 1/f noise. The produced signal is then sent to three different S&Hs, one for each channel, and made available to the outside. The low noise input amplifier operates at 200 kHz while the three S&Hs operate at a sampling frequency of 66 kHz. This allows a large oversampling ratio, which leads to in-band noise reduction and to an accurate output waveform. All the analog parameters (output offset voltage and sensitivity) are ratiometric to the voltage supply. Increasing or decreasing the voltage supply, the sensitivity and the offset will increase or decrease linearly. The feature provides the cancellation of the error related to the voltage supply along an analog to digital conversion chain. 3.3 Factory calibration The IC interface is factory calibrated to provide to the final user a device ready to operate. The trimming values are stored inside the device by a non volatile structure. Any time the device is turned on, the trimming parameters are downloaded into the registers to be employed during the normal operation thus allowing the final user to employ the device without any need for further calibration. 6/9 LIS3L02AQ 4 PACKAGE INFORMATION Figure 5.
