The nominal offset is 2.5 V and the sensitivity is 4 V/g with SCA61T-FAHH1G and 2 V/g with SCA61T-FA1H1G. Angles close to 0° inclination can be estimated quite accurately with straight line conversion but for best possible accuracy arcsine conversion is recommended to be used. The following table shows the angle measurement error if straight line conversion is used. Straight line conversion equation: α= Vout − Offset Sensitivity Where: Sensitivity = 70mV/° with SCA61T-FAHH1G or Sensitivity= 35mV/° with SCA61T-FA1H1G Tilt angle [°] 0 1 2 3 4 5 10 15 30 2.3 Straight line conversion error [°] 0 0.0027 0.0058 0.0094 0.0140 0.0198 0.0787 0.2185 1.668 Ratiometric Output Ratiometric output means that zero offset point and sensitivity of the sensor are proportional to the supply voltage. If the SCA61T supply voltage is fluctuating, the SCA61T output will also vary. When the same reference voltage for both the SCA61T sensor and the measuring part (A/Dconverter) is used, the error caused by reference voltage variation is automatically compensated for. VTI Technologies Oy www.vti.fi Subject to changes Doc. nr. 8261900 9/18 Rev.A SCA61T Series 2.4 SPI Serial Interface A Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) system consists of one master device and one or more slave devices. The master is defined as a micro controller providing the SPI clock and the slave as any integrated circuit receiving the SPI clock from the master. The ASIC in VTI Technologies’ products always operates as a slave device in master-slave operation mode. The SPI has a 4-wire synchronous serial interface. Data communication is enabled with a low active Slave Select or Chip Select wire (CSB). Data is transmitted with a 3-wire interface consisting of wires for serial data input (MOSI), serial data output (MISO) and serial clock (SCK). MASTER MICROCONTROLLER SLAVE DATA OUT (MOSI) SI DATA IN (MISO) SO SERIAL CLOCK (SCK) SCK SS0 CS SS1 SI SS2 SO SS3 SCK CS SI SO SCK CS SI SO SCK CS Figure 9. Typical SPI connection The SPI interface in VTI products is designed to support any micro controller that uses an SPI bus. Communication can be carried out by a software or hardware based SPI. Please note that in the case of a hardware based SPI, the received acceleration data is 11 bits. The data transfer uses the following 4-wire interface: MOSI MISO SCK CSB master out slave in master in slave out serial clock chip select (low active) µP → SCA61T SCA61T → µP µP → SCA61T µP → SCA61T Each transmission starts with a falling edge of CSB and ends with the rising edge. During transmission, commands and data are controlled by SCK and CSB according to the following rules: • • • • • • • VTI Technologies Oy www.vti.fi commands and data are shifted; MSB first, LSB last each output data/status bits are shifted out on the falling edge of SCK (MISO line) each bit is sampled on the rising edge of SCK (MOSI line) after the device is selected with the falling edge of CSB, an 8-bit command is received. The command defines the operations to be performed the rising edge of CSB ends all data transfer and resets internal counter and command register if an invalid command is received, no data is shifted into the chip and the MISO remains in high impedance state until the falling edge of CSB. This reinitializes the serial communication. data transfer to MOSI continues immediately after receiving the command in all cases where data is to be written to SCA61T’s internal registers Subject to changes Doc. nr. 8261900 10/18 Rev.A SCA61T Series • • • data transfer out from MISO starts with the falling edge of SCK immediately after the last bit of the SPI command is sampled in on the rising edge of SCK maximum SPI clock frequency is 500kHz maximum data transfer speed for RDAX is 5300 samples per sec / channel The SPI command can be either an individual command or a combination of command and data. In the case of combined command and data, the input data follows uninterruptedly the SPI command and the output data is shifted out parallel with the input data. The SPI interface uses an 8-bit instruction (or command) register. The list of commands is given in Table below. Command Name MEAS RWTR RDSR RLOAD STX RDAX Command Format 00000000 00001000 00001010 00001011 00001110 00010000 Description: Measure mode (normal operation mode after power on) Read and write temperature data register Read status register Reload NV data to memory output register Activate Self test for X-channel Read X-channel acceleration through SPI Measure mode (MEAS) is standard operation mode after power-up. During normal operation, the MEAS command is the exit command from Self test. Read temperature data register (RWTR) reads temperature data register during normal operation without effecting the operation. Temperature data register is updated every 150 µs. The load operation is disabled whenever the CSB signal is low, hence CSB must stay high at least 150 µs prior the RWTR command in order to guarantee correct data. The data transfer is presented in Figure below. The data is transferred MSB first. In normal operation, it does not matter what data is written into temperature data register during the RWTR command and hence writing all zeros is recommended.

The Internal charge pump is activated and a high voltage is applied to the X-channel acceleration sensor element electrode. This causes the electrostatic force that deflects the beam of the sensing element and simulates the acceleration to the positive direction. The self-test is de-activated by giving the MEAS command. Read X-channel acceleration (RDAX) accesses the AD converted X-channel acceleration signal stored in acceleration data register X. During normal operation, acceleration data registers are reloaded every 150 µs. The load operation is disabled whenever the CSB signal is low, hence CSB must stay high at least 150 µs prior the RDAX command in order to guarantee correct data. Data output is an 11-bit digital word that is fed out MSB first and LSB last.

A detected failure forces the output signal close to power supply ground or VDD level, outside the normal output range. The normal output ranges are: analog 0.25-4.75 V (@Vdd=5V) and SPI 102...1945 counts. The calibration memory validity is verified by continuously running parity check for the control register memory content. In the case where a parity error is detected the control register is automatically re-loaded from the EEPROM. If a new parity error is detected after re-loading data both analog output voltage is forced to go close to ground level (<0.25 V) and SPI outputs goes below 102 counts. The SCA61T also includes a separate self test mode. The true self test simulates acceleration, or deceleration, using an electrostatic force. The electrostatic force simulates acceleration that is high enough to deflect the proof mass to the extreme positive position, and this causes the output signal to go to the maximum value. The self test function is activated either by a separate on-off command on the self test input, or through the SPI. The self-test generates an electrostatic force, deflecting the sensing element’s proof mass, thus checking the complete signal path. The true self test performs following checks: • Sensing element movement check • ASIC signal path check • PCB signal path check • Micro controller A/D and signal path check The created deflection can be seen in both the SPI and analogue output. The self test function is activated digitally by a STX command, and de-activated by a MEAS command. Self test can be also activated applying logic”1” (positive supply voltage level) to ST pin (pins 6) of SCA61T.

The temperature information is also available for additional external compensation. The temperature sensor can be accessed via the SPI interface and the temperature reading is an 8-bit word (0…255). The transfer function is expressed with the following formula: T = Counts − 197 − 1.083 Where: Counts T Temperature reading Temperature in °C The temperature measurement output is not calibrated. The internal temperature compensation routine uses relative results where absolute accuracy is not needed. If the temperature measurement results are used for additional external compensation then one point calibration in the system level is needed to remove the offset. With external one point calibration the accuracy of the temperature measurement is about ±1 °C.

Coupling of digital noise to power supply line should be minimized. 100nF filtering capacitor between VDD pin 8 and GND plane must be used. The SCA61T has ratiometric output. To get best performance use the same reference voltage for both the SCA61T and Analog/Digital converter. Use low pass RC filter with 5.11 kΩ and 10nF on the SCA61T output to minimize clock noise. Locate the 100nF power supply filtering capacitor close to VDD pin 8. Use as short trace length as possible. Connect the other end of capacitor directly to ground plane. Connect the GND pin 6 to underlying ground plane. Use as wide ground and power supply planes as possible. Avoid narrow power supply or GND connection strips on PCB. Figure 13.
