Beyond these supply limits the device may operate as a linear device but is not guaranteed to be in calibration. ELECTRO STATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) Due to the technological advancing semiconductor industry, it has now become increasingly important for semiconductor manufacturers, users of semiconductors and other electronic components to fully understand the nature and sources of ESD. More importantly, a thorough understanding of its impact on quality and reliability must be understood. Whereas the Motorola accelerometers contain internal 2kV 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 Automated Test Equipment (ATE). A charge of this magnitude can alter the performance or cause failure of the chip. When proper ESD precautions are followed the discharges will not be detrimental to the chips performance. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. What is the g–cell? A. The g–cell is the acceleration transducer within the accelerometer device. It is hermetically sealed at the wafer level to ensure a contaminant free environment, resulting in superior reliability performance. Q. What does the output typically interface with? A. The accelerometer device is designed to interface with an analog to digital converter available on most microcontrollers. The output has a 2.5 V DC offset, therefore positive and negative acceleration is measurable. 2 Q. What is the orientation of the g–force in relation to the output voltage? A. The accelerometer responds to g forces perpendicular to the plane of the package. For acceleration directed onto the top of the package, the output voltage will increase above the nominal 2.5 V. For acceleration directed away from the top of the package, the output will decrease below 2.5 V. Refer to the “Positive Acceleration Sensing Direction’’ diagram on page 7. Q. What is the resonant frequency of the g–cell? A. The accelerometer’s g–cell is overdamped. The first resonant mode of the package is 10 kHz for the DIP and 5 kHz for the Wingback. Q. What is ratiometricity? A. Ratiometricity is the sensors ability to track changes in supply voltage. This is a key feature when interfacing to a microcontroller or an A/D converter. Ratiometricity allows for system level cancellation of supply induced errors in the analog to digital conversion process. Refer to the Special Features section under the Principle of Operation for more information. Q. Is the accelerometer device sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD)? A. Yes . . . the SENSEON accelerometer should be handled like other CMOS technology devices. Q. Can the g–cell part “latch’’? A. No, overrange stops have been designed into the g–cell to prevent latching. (Latching is when the middle plate of the g–cell sticks to either the upper or lower plate.)

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The Motorola accelerometer is a surface–micromachined integrated–circuit accelerometer. The device consists of a surface micromachined capacitive sensing cell (G–cell) and a CMOS signal conditioning ASIC contained in a single integrated circuit package. The sensing element is sealed hermetically at the wafer level using a bulk micromachined “cap’’ wafer. The G–Cell is a mechanical structure formed from semiconductor materials (polysilicon) using semiconductor processes (masking and etching). It consists of two stationary plates with a moveable plate in–between. The center plate can be deflected from its rest position by subjecting the system to an acceleration (Figure 1). When the center plate deflects, the distance from it to one fixed plate will increase by the same amount that the distance to the other plate decreases. The change in distance is a measure of acceleration. The G–Cell plates form two back–to–back capacitors (Figure 2). As the center plate moves with acceleration, the distance between the plates changes and each capacitor’s value will change, (C = Aε/D). Where A is the area of the plate, ε is the dielectric constant, and D is the distance between the plates. The CMOS 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. Acceleration Figure 1. Figure 2. SPECIAL FEATURES Filtering The Motorola accelerometers contain an onboard 4–pole switched capacitor filter. A Bessel implementation is used because it provides a maximally flat delay response (linear phase) thus preserving pulse shape integrity. 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. Noise Calculation The noise for the Motorola accelerometer is specified as an rms value which is a statistical value of a gaussian noise source. To convert the rms values to a peak to peak value at a particular confidence level refer to Table 1. A sample calculation at a 99.9% confidence level is shown. Motorola Sensor Device Data Nominal Peak to Peak Value % Confidence Level 2.0 rms 68% 3.0 rms 87% 4.0 rms 95.40% 5.0 rms 98.80% 6.0 rms 99.73% 6.6 rms 99.90% Noise rms = 3.5mVrms Noise peak to peak at a 99.9% confidence level: 3.5mVrms* 6.6 = 23.1mVpp Self–Test XMMA sensors provide a self–test feature that allows the verification of the mechanical and electrical integrity of the accelerometer at any time before or after installation. This feature is critical in applications such as automotive airbag systems where system integrity must be ensured over the life of the vehicle. A fourth “plate’’ is used in the g–cell as a self– test plate. This plate is fixed and is located under an extended portion of the center (moveable) plate. When the user applies a logic high input to the self–test pin, a calibrated potential is applied across the self–test plate and the moveable plate. The resulting electrostatic force (Fe = 1/2 AV2/d2) causes the center plate to deflect. The resultant deflection, is measured by the accelerometer’s control ASIC and a proportional output voltage results. This procedure assures that both the mechanical (g–cell) and electronic sections of the sensor are functioning. Ratiometricity The XMMA1000P and XMMA2000W are designed to be “ratiometric’’. That is, their transfer function will be proportional to the applied supply voltage. This feature allows easy interfacing to common microcontrollers that use ratiometric A/D converters for system cost benefits. In operation, a ratiometric sensor’s gain or “sensitivity’’ will change 1:1 with applied supply voltage and the zero signal output will be at midsupply. (2.5 V for a 5 V VDD and 2.625 V for a 5.25 VDD). Minimum G Range Calculation To calculate the minimum g range values of an accelerometer several factors have to be taken into consideration. These considerations include, the supply voltage, the device’s sensitivity, offset voltage and output rail. A sample calculation for the minimum g range is shown below. To complete the calculation the rail and offset voltages must be subtracted from the supply voltage, then divided by the supply voltage multiplied by the device’s worst case (highest) sensitivity. * * ńń V DD 0.56V DD 0.3V V DD(8.64mV V g) * 0.3V + + 0.44V V (0.00864) DD DD ǒ 50.93 Ǔ * 34.72 V DD g Using the standard five volt power supply, the minimum g range is calculated to be: 50.926 * 34.722 + 43.98 [ 44g 5.00 5 PCB Layout BASIC CONNECTIONS VDD ACCELEROMETER VOUT VSS VDD LOGIC INPUT C1 0.1 µF 11 TRIM 3 5 R1 1 kΩ OUTPUT SIGNAL (a) XMMA2000W LOGIC INPUT 2 ST 6 VDD VOUT C1 0.1 µF 3 R1 1 kΩ OUTPUT SIGNAL C2 0.01 µF 5 VSS 1 kΩ C 0.01 µF C 0.1 µF VRH VSS C 0.1 µF VDD 0.1 µF NOTES: C2 0.01 µF 7 VSS A/D IN R POWER SUPPLY 4 ST VOUT P0 C XMMA1000P 8 VDD VDD ST MICROCONTROLLER Circuit Schematic Figure 3 shows the recommended connection diagram for operating the accelerometer. Figure 3 (a) shows the 16 pin DIP package version, the XMMA1000P, while (b) shows the 6 pin Wingback package version, the XMMA2000W. For the XMMA1000P, pins 1, 2, 3, 6, 14, 15, and 16 have no internal connections, and pins 9 through 13 are used for calibration and trimming in the factory. These pins should all be connected to VSS, except pin 11 which must be connected to VDD. For the XMMA2000W, pins 1 and 4, and the wings (supporting pins) should be connected to VSS. (b) Figure 3. Accelerometers with Recommended Connection Diagram • Use a .1 µF capacitor on VDD to decouple the power source. • Physical coupling distance of the accelerometer to the microcontroller should be minimal. • Place a ground plane beneath the accelerometer to reduce noise, the ground plane should be attached to all of the open ended terminals shown above. • Use independent supply traces for the A/D reference (microcontroller) and the accelerometer. • Use an RC filter of 1 kΩ and 0.01 µF on the output of the accelerometer to minimize induced errors. • PCB layout of power and ground should not couple power supply noise. • Accelerometer and microcontroller should not be a high current path. • For ratiometricity purposes the accelerometer VDD and microcontroller A/D reference pin should be on the same trace. • 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.
