GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADXL190 is a complete acceleration measurement system
on a single monolithic IC. It contains a polysilicon surfacemicromachined sensor and signal conditioning circuitry to
implement an open-loop acceleration measurement architecture.
The ADXL190 is capable of measuring both positive and negative accelerations up to ± 100 g, making it suitable for shock and
vibration measurement.
Typical noise floor is 4 mg/√Hz allowing signals below 40 milli-g
to be resolved. The ADXL190 can measure both dynamic accelerations, (typical of vibration) or static accelerations, (such as
inertial force or gravity).

delay. The –3 dB frequency of the poles is preset at the factory
to 400 Hz. These filters are also completely self-contained and
buffered, requiring no external components.
The product features a built-in self-test feature that exercises
both the mechanical structure and electrical circuitry. When
triggered by a logic high on the self-test pin, an electrostatic
force acts on the beam equivalent to approximately 20% of fullscale acceleration input, and thus a proportional voltage change
appears on the output pin. No external components other than a
decoupling capacitor are required.
The ADXL190 is available in a hermetic 14-lead surface mount
cerpak, specified over the –40°C to +105°C temperature range.
The ADXL190 has a two-pole Bessel switched-capacitor filter.
Bessel filters, sometimes called linear phase filters, have a step
response with minimal overshoot and a maximally flat group

NOTES
1
Product is tested at ± 50 g, and the combination of 0-g error, sensitivity error, and output voltage swing measurements provide the calculations for dynamic range.
2
0-g is nominally VS/2. Use of the 0-g adjustment pin is used to null the 0-g error, resulting in increased dynamic range. It can also be used to create an asymmetrical
dynamic range if so desired.
3
The output response is ratiometric and is described by the following equation. V OUT (accel, VS) = [VS/2 ± (a VS/5 V)] + [(accel) (b V S + c VS 2)(1 ± 0.08)]
Where a = 0.2 V, b = 2.712 × 10–3 1/g , c = 0.178 × 10–3 1/g/V.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the ADXL190 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

ESD SENSITIVE DEVICE
ADXL190
APPLICATIONS
All the circuitry needed to drive the sensor and convert the
capacitance change to voltage is incorporated on-chip requiring
no external components except for standard power supply decoupling. Both sensitivity and the zero-g value are ratiometric to
the supply voltage, so that ratiometric devices following the
accelerometer (such as an ADC, etc.) will track the accelerometer if the supply voltage changes. The output voltage (VOUT) is
a function of both the acceleration input (a) and the power
supply voltage (VS) as follows:
VOUT = VS/2 – (Sensitivity × VS/5 V × a)
Adjusting the 0 g Bias Level
In some cases the user may have an asymmetrical input or may
want to fine adjust the zero-g output level to obtain maximum
dynamic range. The zero-g level is adjusted by supplying a
voltage to the zero-g adjustment pin (see Figure 2).

This voltage may be produced by a variety of methods including a PWM signal from a microcontroller. Care must be taken
that the output impedance of this voltage source is less than
5 kΩ and that there is very little ripple (noise). Any noise at the
ZERO g ADJUST pin will cause output errors.

Another way to adjust the zero g offset is to supply a voltage to
the ZERO g ADJUST pin. The difference between VS/2 and
the voltage at the ZERO g ADJUST pin is reduced by a factor
of 6 (as a result of the internal 5 kΩ and 25 kΩ voltage divider)
and then multiplied by a factor of 3 in the output stage of the
ADXL190 resulting in a total gain of 0.5. Offset is thus described by the following equation:
GAIN = 3

If an asymmetric range of acceleration is required (e.g., +75 g
to –125 g) a resistor may be connected between the ZERO g
ADJUST and ground or VS as described above. For example:
Figure 2. Optional Zero-g Adjust Circuit Detail
Any voltage difference between the zero-g adjustment pin and
VS/2 is reduced by a factor of 6 by the internal resistor divider.
This is then gained by the factor of 3 in the output stage for a
total gain of 0.5 for the zero-g adjustment. (Note: The ratio of
the resistors in the divider is consistent from part-to-part; however, the absolute values can have a ± 30% tolerance). The
zero-g adjustment voltage can be set up by a variety of methods
including a potentiometer (as shown in Figure 2), a PWM signal, or with a simple three-state output.
For a range of +75 g to –125 g the offset required is –25 g.
–25 g at 18 mV/g = 450 mV of offset is required.
Rearranging the offset equations above:
R = [(7.5 × VS)/offset] –30 = 53.3 kΩ connected to ground.
For asymmetric operation the g range midpoint may be shifted
up to ± 80 g typically.
The simplest way is by adding a resistor between the ZERO g
ADJUST pin and VS or ground. The output will be offset by:
250kV

Offset (V) = (7.5 × VS)/(30 + R)

where R is in kΩ and connected to ground.
Resistors may also be connected to microcontroller I/O pins as
shown in Figure 3. Using two I/Os that may be set to VS, ground,
or three-state, there are seven possibilities as shown in Table I
(one cannot set one I/O pin to VS and the other to ground).
Using such a system, any ADXL190 may be user trimmed to
output 2.5 V ± 35 mV at zero g.
