vibration.
The user selects the bandwidth of the accelerometer using the
CX, CY, and CZ capacitors at the XOUT, YOUT, and ZOUT pins.
Bandwidths can be selected to suit the application, with a
range of 0.5 Hz to 1,600 Hz for X and Y axes, and a range of
0.5 Hz to 550 Hz for the Z axis.
APPLICATIONS
Cost-sensitive, low power, motion- and tilt-sensing
applications
Mobile devices
Gaming systems
Disk drive protection
Image stabilization
Sports and health devices
The ADXL330 is available in a small, low-profile, 4 mm × 4 mm
× 1.45 mm, 16-lead, plastic lead frame chip scale package
(LFCSP_LQ).

ESD 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 this product 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.

ADXL330
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADXL330 is a complete 3-axis acceleration measurement
system on a single monolithic IC. The ADXL330 has a measurement range of ±3 g minimum. It contains a polysilicon surface
micromachined sensor and signal conditioning circuitry to
implement an open-loop acceleration measurement architecture.
The output signals are analog voltages that are proportional to
acceleration. The accelerometer can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt sensing applications as well as dynamic
acceleration resulting from motion, shock, or vibration.
The sensor is a polysilicon surface micromachined structure
built on top of a silicon wafer. Polysilicon springs suspend the
structure over the surface of the wafer and provide a resistance
against acceleration forces. Deflection of the structure is measured using a differential capacitor that consists of independent
fixed plates and plates attached to the moving mass. The fixed
plates are driven by 180° out-of-phase square waves. Acceleration
deflects the moving mass and unbalances the differential
capacitor resulting in a sensor output whose amplitude is
proportional to acceleration. Phase-sensitive demodulation
techniques are then used to determine the magnitude and
direction of the acceleration.
The demodulator output is amplified and brought off-chip
through a 32 kΩ resistor. The user then sets the signal bandwidth of the device by adding a capacitor. This filtering improves
measurement resolution and helps prevent aliasing.
MECHANICAL SENSOR
The ADXL330 uses a single structure for sensing the X, Y, and
Z axes. As a result, the three axes sense directions are highly
orthogonal with little cross axis sensitivity. Mechanical misalignment of the sensor die to the package is the chief source
of cross axis sensitivity. Mechanical misalignment can, of
course, be calibrated out at the system level.
PERFORMANCE
Rather than using additional temperature compensation
circuitry, innovative design techniques ensure high
performance is built-in to the ADXL330. As a result, there is
neither quantization error nor nonmonotonic behavior, and
temperature hysteresis is very low (typically less than 3 mg over
the −25°C to +70°C temperature range).
Figure 14, Figure 15, and Figure 16 show the zero g output
performance of eight parts (X-, Y-, and Z-axis) soldered to a

Figure 26, Figure 27, and Figure 28 demonstrate the typical
sensitivity shift over temperature for supply voltages of 3 V. This
is typically better than ±1% over the −25°C to +70°C
temperature range.

ADXL330
APPLICATIONS
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
For most applications, a single 0.1 μF capacitor, CDC, placed
close to the ADXL330 supply pins adequately decouples the
accelerometer from noise on the power supply. However, in
applications where noise is present at the 50 kHz internal clock
frequency (or any harmonic thereof), additional care in power
supply bypassing is required as this noise can cause errors in
acceleration measurement. If additional decoupling is needed,
a 100 Ω (or smaller) resistor or ferrite bead can be inserted in
the supply line. Additionally, a larger bulk bypass capacitor
(1 μF or greater) can be added in parallel to CDC. Ensure that
the connection from the ADXL330 ground to the power supply
ground is low impedance because noise transmitted through
ground has a similar effect as noise transmitted through VS.
SETTING THE BANDWIDTH USING CX, CY, AND CZ
The ADXL330 has provisions for band limiting the XOUT, YOUT,
and ZOUT pins. Capacitors must be added at these pins to
implement low-pass filtering for antialiasing and noise
reduction. The equation for the 3 dB bandwidth is
F−3 dB = 1/(2π(32 kΩ) × C(X, Y, Z))
or more simply
F–3 dB = 5 μF/C(X, Y, Z)
The tolerance of the internal resistor (RFILT) typically varies as
much as ±15% of its nominal value (32 kΩ), and the bandwidth
varies accordingly. A minimum capacitance of 0.0047 μF for CX,
CY, and CZ is recommended in all cases.

instance, if there are multiple supply voltages), then a low VF
clamping diode between ST and VS is recommended.
DESIGN TRADE-OFFS FOR SELECTING FILTER
CHARACTERISTICS: THE NOISE/BW TRADE-OFF
The selected accelerometer bandwidth ultimately determines
the measurement resolution (smallest detectable acceleration).
Filtering can be used to lower the noise floor to improve the
resolution of the accelerometer. Resolution is dependent on the
analog filter bandwidth at XOUT, YOUT, and ZOUT.
The output of the ADXL330 has a typical bandwidth of greater
than 500 Hz. The user must filter the signal at this point to limit
aliasing errors. The analog bandwidth must be no more than
half the analog-to-digital sampling frequency to minimize
aliasing. The analog bandwidth can be further decreased to
reduce noise and improve resolution.
The ADXL330 noise has the characteristics of white Gaussian
noise, which contributes equally at all frequencies and is
described in terms of μg/√Hz (the noise is proportional to the
square root of the accelerometer bandwidth). The user should
limit bandwidth to the lowest frequency needed by the application to maximize the resolution and dynamic range of the
accelerometer.
With the single-pole, roll-off characteristic, the typical noise of
the ADXL330 is determined by
rms Noise = Noise Density × ( BW × 1.6 )
Often, the peak value of the noise is desired. Peak-to-peak noise
can only be estimated by statistical methods. Table 6 is useful
for estimating the probabilities of exceeding various peak
values, given the rms value.

SELF-TEST
The ST pin controls the self-test feature. When this pin is set to
VS, an electrostatic force is exerted on the accelerometer beam.
The resulting movement of the beam allows the user to test if
the accelerometer is functional. The typical change in output is
−500 mg (corresponding to −150 mV) in the X-axis, 500 mg (or
150 mV) on the Y-axis, and −200 mg (or −60 mV) on the Z-axis.
This ST pin may be left open circuit or connected to common
(COM) in normal use.

USE WITH OPERATING VOLTAGES OTHER THAN 3 V
The ADXL330 is tested and specified at VS = 3 V; however, it
can be powered with VS as low as 2 V or as high as 3.6 V. Note
that some performance parameters change as the supply voltage
is varied.
Never expose the ST pin to voltages greater than VS + 0.3 V. If
this cannot be guaranteed due to the system design (for

The ADXL330 output is ratiometric, therefore, the output
sensitivity (or scale factor) varies proportionally to the
supply voltage. At VS = 3.6 V, the output sensitivity is
typically 360 mV/g. At VS = 2 V, the output sensitivity is
typically 195 mV/g.
At VS = 2 V, the self-test response is approximately −60 mV for
the X-axis, +60 mV for the Y-axis, and −25 mV for the Z-axis.
The zero g bias output is also ratiometric, so the zero g output is
nominally equal to VS/2 at all supply voltages.
AXES OF ACCELERATION SENSITIVITY
The supply current decreases as the supply voltage decreases.
Typical current consumption at VS = 3.6 V is 375 μA, and
typical current consumption at VS = 2 V is 200 μA.
AZ
The output noise is not ratiometric but is absolute in volts;
therefore, the noise density decreases as the supply voltage
increases. This is because the scale factor (mV/g) increases
while the noise voltage remains constant. At VS = 3.6 V, the
X- and Y-axis noise density is typically 230 μg/√Hz, while at
VS = 2 V, the X- and Y-axis noise density is typically 350 μg/√Hz.

Self-test response in g is roughly proportional to the square of
the supply voltage. However, when ratiometricity of sensitivity
is factored in with supply voltage, the self-test response in volts
is roughly proportional to the cube of the supply voltage. For
example, at VS = 3.6 V, the self-test response for the ADXL330 is
approximately −275 mV for the X-axis, +275 mV for the Y-axis,
and −100 mV for the Z-axis.
