ADXL13/ADXL23 THEORY OF OPERATION The ADXL13/ADXL23 are complete acceleration measurement systems on a single, monolithic IC. The ADXL13 is a single-axis accelerometer, and the ADXL23 is a dual-axis accelerometer. Both parts contain a polysilicon surfacemicromachined sensor and signal conditioning circuitry to implement an open-loop acceleration measurement architecture. The output signals are analog voltages proportional to acceleration. The ADXL13/ADXL23 are capable of measuring both positive and negative accelerations to at least ±1.7 g. The accelerometer can measure static acceleration forces such as gravity, allowing it to be used as a tilt sensor. The sensor is a surface-micromachined polysilicon structure built on top of the 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 18 out-of-phase square waves. Acceleration deflects the beam and unbalances the differential capacitor, resulting in an output square wave whose amplitude is proportional to acceleration. Phase-sensitive demodulation techniques are then used to rectify the signal and determine the direction of the acceleration. The output of the demodulator is amplified and brought off-chip through a 32 kω resistor. At this point, the user can set the signal bandwidth of the device by adding a capacitor. This filtering improves measurement resolution and helps prevent aliasing. PERFORMANCE Rather than using additional temperature compensation circuitry, innovative design techniques have been used to ensure that high performance is built in. As a result, there is essentially no quantization error or non-monotonic behavior, and temperature hysteresis is very low (typically less than 1 mg over the 4 C to +12 C temperature range). Figure 11 shows the g output performance of eight parts (x and y axes) over a 4 C to +12 C temperature range. Figure 14 demonstrates the typical sensitivity shift over temperature for VS = V. Sensitivity stability is optimized for VS = V but is still very good over the specified range; it is typically better than ±1% over temperature at VS = 3 V.

ADXL13/ADXL23 APPLICATIONS POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING For most applications, a single.1 μf capacitor, CDC, adequately decouples the accelerometer from noise on the power supply. However in some cases, particularly where noise is present at the 14 khz internal clock frequency (or any harmonic thereof), noise on the supply can cause interference on the ADXL13/ ADXL23 output. If additional decoupling is needed, a 1 Ω (or smaller) resistor or ferrite beads can be inserted in the supply line of the ADXL13/ADXL23. Additionally, a larger bulk bypass capacitor (in the 1 μf to 22 μf range) can be added in parallel to CDC. SETTING THE BANDWIDTH USING C X AND C Y The ADXL13/ADXL23 has provisions for band limiting the XOUT and YOUT 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)) or more simply, F 3 db = μf/c(x, Y) The tolerance of the internal resistor (RFILT) can vary typically as much as ±2% of its nominal value (32 kω); thus, the bandwidth varies accordingly. A minimum capacitance of 2 pf for CX and CY is required in all cases. Table 6. Filter Capacitor Selection, CX and CY Bandwidth (Hz) Capacitor (μf) 1 4.7 1.47.1 1. 2.27.1 SELF TEST The ST pin controls the self-test feature. When this pin is set to VS, an electrostatic force is exerted on the beam of the accelerometer. The resulting movement of the beam allows the user to test if the accelerometer is functional. The typical change in output is 7 mg (corresponding to 7 mv). This pin can be left open-circuit or connected to common in normal use. DESIGN TRADE-OFFS FOR SELECTING FILTER CHARACTERISTICS: THE NOISE/BW TRADE-OFF The accelerometer bandwidth selected ultimately determines the measurement resolution (smallest detectable acceleration). Filtering can be used to lower the noise floor, improving the resolution of the accelerometer. Resolution is dependent on the analog filter bandwidth at XOUT and YOUT. The output of the ADXL13/ADXL23 has a typical bandwidth of 2. khz. 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 ADXL13/ADXL23 noise has the characteristics of white Gaussian noise, which contributes equally at all frequencies and is described in terms of μg/ Hz (that is, 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 ADXL13/ADXL23 is determined by rmsnoise (11 μ g / At 1 Hz, the noise is Hz ) ( BW 1.6) rmsnoise (11 μ g / Hz ) ( 1 1.6) 1.4 mg Often, the peak value of the noise is desired. Peak-to-peak noise can only be estimated by statistical methods. Table 7 is useful for estimating the probabilities of exceeding various peak values, given the rms value. Table 7. Estimation of Peak-to-Peak Noise % of Time That Noise Exceeds Peak-to-Peak Value Nominal Peak-to-Peak Value 2 rms 32 4 rms 4.6 6 rms.27 8 rms.6 The ST pin should never be exposed to voltage greater than VS +.3 V. If the system design is such that this condition cannot be guaranteed (that is, multiple supply voltages are present), a low VF clamping diode between ST and VS is recommended. Rev. C Page 1 of 12

ADXL13/ADXL23 Peak-to-peak noise values give the best estimate of the uncertainty in a single measurement; peak-to-peak noise is estimated by 6 rms. Table 8 gives the typical noise output of the ADXL13/ ADXL23 for various CX and CY values. Table 8. Filter Capacitor Selection (CX, CY) Bandwidth (Hz) CX, CY (μf) RMS Noise (mg) 1.47.4 2.6.1 1. 6 1.47 1.4 8.4.1 3.1 18.7 Peak-to-Peak Noise Estimate (mg) USING THE ADXL13/ADXL23 WITH OPERATING VOLTAGES OTHER THAN V The ADXL13/ADXL23 is tested and specified at VS = V; however, it can be powered with VS as low as 3 V or as high as 6 V. Some performance parameters change as the supply voltage is varied. The ADXL13/ADXL23 output is ratiometric, so the output sensitivity (or scale factor) varies proportionally to supply voltage. At VS = 3 V the output sensitivity is typically 6 mv/g. The zero g bias output is also ratiometric, so the zero g output is nominally equal to VS/2 at all supply voltages. 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 V, the noise density is typically 19 μg/ Hz. USING THE ADXL23 AS A DUAL-AXIS TILT SENSOR One of the most popular applications of the ADXL23 is tilt measurement. An accelerometer uses the force of gravity as an input vector to determine the orientation of an object in space. An accelerometer is most sensitive to tilt when its sensitive axis is perpendicular to the force of gravity, that is, parallel to the earth s surface. At this orientation, its sensitivity to changes in tilt is highest. When the accelerometer is oriented on axis to gravity, that is, near its +1 g or 1 g reading, the change in output acceleration per degree of tilt is negligible. When the accelerometer is perpendicular to gravity, its output changes nearly 17. mg per degree of tilt. At 4, its output changes at only 12.2 mg per degree, and resolution declines. Dual-Axis Tilt Sensor: Converting Acceleration to Tilt When the accelerometer is oriented so both its x axis and y axis are parallel to the earth s surface, it can be used as a 2-axis tilt sensor with a roll axis and a pitch axis. Once the output signal from the accelerometer has been converted to an acceleration that varies between 1 g and +1 g, the output tilt in degrees is calculated as follows: PITCH = ASIN(AX/1 g) ROLL = ASIN(AY/1 g) Be sure to account for overranges. It is possible for the accelerometers to output a signal greater than ±1 g due to vibration, shock, or other accelerations. 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, self-test response in volts is roughly proportional to the cube of the supply voltage. So at VS = 3 V, the self-test response is approximately equivalent to 1 mv or equivalent to 27 mg (typical). The supply current decreases as the supply voltage decreases. Typical current consumption at VDD = 3 V is 4 μa. Rev. C Page 11 of 12
