1) The product is factory calibrated at 2.5 V in room temperature.
2) Typical values are not guaranteed.
3) Includes the current through the internal 400 k pull-up resistor connected to digital I/O Vdd.

2++ . The measuring range is tested on sensing element level. FS = 6g.
5) Offset temperature error = {Count(0g)-Offset} / Sensitivity [ g ]. Sensitivity = Calibrated sensitivity.
Offset= Calibrated offset.
6) Sensitivity = {Count(+1g) - Count(-1g)}/2 [Count/g].
7) Sensitivity temperature error = {[Count(+1g)-Count(-1g)]/2 - Sensitivity} / Sensitivity x 100% [%].
Sensitivity = Calibrated sensitivity.
8) Best fit straight line.
9) The cross-axis sensitivity determines how much acceleration, perpendicular to the measuring axis,
couples to the output. The total cross-axis sensitivity is the geometric sum of the sensitivities of
the two axes which are perpendicular to the measuring axis. The angular alignment error
between X, Y and Z axis is included into the cross axis sensitivity.
10) Frequency responses according to Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5.
