GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD22300, AD22301, and AD22302 are derivative products of the fourth generation ADXL78 family surface
micromachined iMEMS accelerometers from Analog Devices with enhanced performance and lower cost. Designed for use
in airbag applications, these products also provide complete cost-effective solutions useful for a wide variety of other
applications.
The AD22300 and AD22301 are single-axis accelerometers with g-ranges of ±37g or ±70g. The AD22302 is a monolithic
two-axis (XY) version with the sensor axes orthogonal (90°) to each other and in the plane of the chip. The AD22302 X-axis
has a g-range of ±70g and its Y-axis has a g-range of ±37g. It can be used for sensing crashes in the front or side of the
vehicle and to determine the angle of impact.
The AD22300, AD22301, and AD22302 are temperature stable and accurate over the automotive temperature range, with a
self-test feature that fully exercises all the mechanical and electrical elements of the sensor with a digital signal applied to a
single pin.

Theory of Operation
The ADXL78 family provides a fully differential sensor structure and circuit path, resulting in the industry’s highest
resistance to EMI/RFI effects. This latest generation uses electrical feedback with zero force feedback for improved
accuracy and stability. The sensor resonant frequency is significantly higher than the signal bandwidth set by the on-chip
filter, avoiding the signal analysis problems caused by resonant peaks near the signal bandwidth.
Figure 1 is a simplified view of one of the differential sensor elements. Each sensor includes several differential capacitor
unit cells. Each cell is composed of fixed plates attached to the substrate, and movable plates attached to the frame.
Displacement of the frame changes the differential capacitance, which is measured by the on-chip circuitry.

Complementary 400kHz square waves drive the fixed plates (200 kHz for the ADXL278). Electrical feedback adjusts the
amplitudes of the square waves such that the AC signal on the moving plates is zero. The feedback signal is linearly
proportional to the applied acceleration. This unique feedback technique ensures that there is no net electrostatic force
applied to the sensor. The differential feedback control signal is also applied to the input of the filter, where it is filtered and
converted to a single-ended signal.
Self-Test
The fixed fingers in the forcing cells are normally kept at the same potential as that of the movable frame. When the self-test
digital input is activated, the voltage on the fixed fingers on one side of the moving plate in the forcing cells is changed. This
creates an attractive electrostatic force, which causes the frame to move towards those fixed fingers. The entire signal
channel is active, so the sensor displacement causes a change in Vout. The ADXL78 self-test function is a comprehensive
method of verifying the operation of the accelerometer.
Because electrostatic force is independent of the polarity of the voltage across capacitor plates, a positive voltage is applied
in half of the forcing cells, and its complement in the other half of the forcing cells. Activating self-test causes a step
function force to be applied to the sensor, while the capacitive coupling term is canceled. The ADXL78 has improved self-
test functionality including excellent transient response and high-speed switching capability. Arbitrary force waveforms can
be applied to the sensor by modulating the self-test input, such as test signals to measure the system frequency response, or
even crash signals to verify algorithms within the limits of the selftest swing.
