Although the Freescale 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 test equipment. A charge of this magnitude can alter the performance or cause failure of the chip. When handling the accelerometer, proper ESD precautions should be followed to avoid exposing the device to discharges which may be detrimental to its performance.

For a loaded output the measurements are observed after an RC filter consisting of a 1 k resistor and a 0.1 F capacitor to ground. 2. These limits define the range of operation for which the part will meet specification. 3. Within the supply range of 4.75 and 5.25 volts, the device operates as a fully calibrated linear accelerometer. Beyond these supply limits the device may operate as a linear device but is not guaranteed to be in calibration. 4. The device can measure both + and - acceleration. With no input acceleration the output is at midsupply. For positive acceleration the output will increase above VDD/2 and for negative acceleration the output will decrease below VDD/2. 5. Sensitivity limits apply to 0 Hz acceleration. 6. At clock frequency 34 kHz. 7. The digital input pin has an internal pull-down current source to prevent inadvertent self test initiation due to external board level leakages. 8. Time for the output to reach 90% of its final value after a self-test is initiated. 9. The Status pin output is not valid following power-up until at least one rising edge has been applied to the self-test pin. The Status pin is high whenever the self-test input is high. 10. The Status pin output latches high if the EPROM parity changes to odd. The Status pin can be reset by a rising edge on self-test, unless a fault condition continues to exist. 11. Time for amplifiers to recover after an acceleration signal causes them to saturate. 12. Preserves phase margin (60) to guarantee output amplifier stability. 13. A measure of the device's ability to reject an acceleration applied 90 from the true axis of sensitivity. MMA2260D Sensors Freescale Semiconductor 3 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The Freescale 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 can be modeled as a set of beams attached to a movable central mass that moves between fixed beams. The movable beams can be deflected from their rest position by subjecting the system to an acceleration (Figure 3). As the beams attached to the central mass move, the distance from them to the fixed beams on one side will increase by the same amount that the distance to the fixed beams on the other side decreases. The change in distance is a measure of acceleration. The g-cell beams form two back-to-back capacitors (). As the central mass moves with acceleration, the distance between the beams change and each capacitor's value will change, (C = NA/D). Where A is the area of the facing side of the beam, e is the dielectric constant, D is the distance between the beams, and N is the number of beams. 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. SPECIAL FEATURES Filtering Freescale accelerometers contain an onboard 2-pole switched capacitor filter. 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. Self-Test The sensor provides a self-test feature that allows the verification of the mechanical and electrical integrity of the accelerometer at any time before or after installation. A fourth "plate'' is used in the g-cell as a self-test 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 accelerometer are functioning. Status Freescale accelerometers include fault detection circuitry and a fault latch. The Status pin is an output from the fault latch, OR'd with self-test, and is set high whenever the following event occurs: * Parity of the EPROM bits becomes odd in number. The fault latch can be reset by a rising edge on the self-test input pin, unless one (or more) of the fault conditions continues to exist. Acceleration Figure 3. Transducer Physical Model Figure 4.

Use a 0.1 F capacitor on VDD to decouple the power source. 2. Physical coupling distance of the accelerometer to the microcontroller should be minimal. 3. Place a ground plane beneath the accelerometer to reduce noise, the ground plane should be attached to all of the open ended terminals shown in Figure 6. Used for factory trim. Leave unconnected. 4. Use an RC filter of 1 k and 0.01 F on the output of the accelerometer to minimize clock noise (from the switched capacitor filter circuit). No internal connection. Leave unconnected. 5. PCB layout of power and ground should not couple power supply noise. 6. Accelerometer and microcontroller should not be a high current path.
