ELECTRO STATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
WARNING: This device is sensitive to electrostatic
discharge.
Although the Freescale accelerometer contains internal
2000 V ESD protection circuitry, extra precaution must be
taken by the user to protect the chip from ESD. A charge of
over 2000 volts can accumulate on the human body or
associated test equipment. A charge of this magnitude can
alter the performance or cause failure of the chip. When
handling the accelerometer, proper ESD precautions should
be followed to avoid exposing the device to discharges which
may be detrimental to its performance.

Full-Scale Output Range (IOUT = 30 µA)
1. For a loaded output, the measurements are observed after an RC filter consisting of a 1.0 kΩ resistor and a 0.1 µF capacitor on VDD-GND.
2. These limits define the range of operation for which the part will meet specification.
3. Within the supply range of 2.2 and 3.6 V, the device operates as a fully calibrated linear accelerometer. Beyond these supply limits the device
may operate as a linear device but is not guaranteed to be in calibration.
4. This value is measured with g-Select in 2.5g mode.
5. The device can measure both + and – acceleration. With no input acceleration the output is at midsupply. For positive acceleration the output
will increase above VDD/2. For negative acceleration, the output will decrease below VDD/2.
6. The response time between 10% of full scale Vdd input voltage and 90% of the final operating output voltage.
7. The response time between 10% of full scale Sleep Mode input voltage and 90% of the final operating output voltage.
8. A measure of the device’s ability to reject an acceleration applied 90° from the true axis of sensitivity.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Freescale accelerometer is a surface-micromachined
integrated-circuit accelerometer.
The device consists of two surface micromachined
capacitive sensing cells (g-cell) and a signal conditioning
ASIC contained in a single integrated circuit package. The
sensing elements are sealed hermetically at the wafer level
using a bulk micromachined cap wafer.
The g-cell is a mechanical structure formed from
semiconductor materials (postillion) using semiconductor
processes (masking and etching). It can be modeled as a set
of beams attached to a movable central mass that move
between fixed beams. The movable beams can be deflected
from their rest position by subjecting the system to an
acceleration (Figure 3).
As the beams attached to the central mass move, the
distance from them to the fixed beams on one side will
increase by the same amount that the distance to the fixed
beams on the other side decreases. The change in distance
is a measure of acceleration.
The g-cell beams form two back-to-back capacitors
(Figure 3). As the center beam moves with acceleration, the
distance between the beams changes and each capacitor's
value will change, (C = Aε/D). Where A is the area of the
beam, ε is the dielectric constant, and D is the distance
between the beams.
The ASIC uses switched capacitor techniques to measure
the g-cell capacitors and extract the acceleration data from
the difference between the two capacitors. The ASIC also
signal conditions and filters (switched capacitor) the signal,
providing a high level output voltage that is ratiometric and
proportional to acceleration.

SPECIAL FEATURES
g-Select
The g-Select feature allows for the selection among 4
sensitivities present in the device. Depending on the logic
input placed on pins 1 and 2, the device internal gain will be
changed allowing it to function with a 2.5g, 3.3g, 6.7g, or 10g
sensitivity (Table 3). This feature is ideal when a product has
applications requiring different sensitivities for optimum
performance. The sensitivity can be changed at anytime
during the operation of the product. The g-Select1 and gSelect2 pins can be left unconnected for applications
requiring only a 2.5g sensitivity as the device has an internal
pull-down to keep it at that sensitivity (480 mV/g).

Sleep Mode
The 2 axis accelerometer provides a Sleep Mode that is
ideal for battery operated products. When Sleep Mode is
active, the device outputs are turned off, providing significant
reduction of operating current. A low input signal on pin 12
(Sleep Mode) will place the device in this mode and reduce
the current to 3 µA typ. For lower power consumption, it is
recommended to set g-Select1 and g-Select2 to 2.5g mode.
By placing a high input signal on pin 12, the device will
resume to normal mode of operation.
Filtering
The 2 axis accelerometer contains onboard single-pole
switched capacitor filters. Because the filter is realized using
switched capacitor techniques, there is no requirement for
external passive components (resistors and capacitors) to set
the cut-off frequency.
Figure 3. Simplified Transducer Physical Model
Ratiometricity
Ratiometricity simply means the output offset voltage and
sensitivity will scale linearly with applied supply voltage. That
is, as supply voltage is increased, the sensitivity and offset
increase linearly; as supply voltage decreases, offset and
sensitivity decrease linearly. This is a key feature when
interfacing to a microcontroller or an A/D converter because
it provides system level cancellation of supply induced errors
in the analog to digital conversion process.

NOTES:
1. Use 0.1 µF capacitor on VDD to decouple the power
source. Do not exceed capacitor values of 2.2 or
3.3 µF on VDD-GND.
2. Physical coupling distance of the accelerometer to
the microcontroller should be minimal.
3. The flag underneath the package is internally
connected to ground. It is not recommended for the
flag to be soldered down.
4. Place a ground plane beneath the accelerometer to
reduce noise, the ground plane should be attached to
all of the open ended terminals shown in Figure 6.
5. Use an RC filter with 1.0 kΩ and 0.1 µF on the
outputs of the accelerometer to minimize clock noise
(from the switched capacitor filter circuit).
6. PCB layout of power and ground should not couple
power supply noise.
7. Accelerometer and microcontroller should not be a
high current path.
8. A/D sampling rate and any external power supply
switching frequency should be selected such that
they do not interfere with the internal accelerometer
sampling frequency (11 kHz for the sampling
frequency). This will prevent aliasing errors.
9. PCB layout should not run traces or vias under the
QFN part. This could lead to ground shorting to the
accelerometer flag.

Surface mount board layout is a critical portion of the total
design. The footprint for the surface mount packages must be
the correct size to ensure proper solder connection interface
between the board and the package.
With the correct footprint, the packages will self-align when
subjected to a solder reflow process. It is always
recommended to design boards with a solder mask layer to
avoid bridging and shorting between solder pads.
The flag underneath the package is internally connected to
ground. It is not recommended for the flag to be soldered
down.
