It is a complete sensing system with on-chip mixed signal processing. The MXR7202G/M measures acceleration with a full-scale range of 2g and a sensitivity of 312mV/g @5V at 25C. It can measure both dynamic acceleration (e.g. vibration) and static acceleration (e.g. gravity). The MXR7202G/M design is based on heat convection and requires no solid proof mass. This eliminates stiction and particle problems associated with competitive devices and provides shock survival greater than 50,000 g, leading to significantly lower failure rate and lower loss due to handling during assembly and at customer field application.
MXR7202G/M FUNCTIONAL BLOCK
The MXR7202G/M provides two ratiometric analog outputs that are proportional to 50% of the supply at zero g acceleration. The typical noise floor is 0.3 mg/ Hz allowing signals below 1 milli-g to be resolved at 1 Hz bandwidth. The MXR7202G/M is packaged in a hermetically sealed LCC surface mount package (5 mm x 5 mm x 2 mm height) and is operational over a 0C to 70C(G) or a -40C to +105C(M)
temperature range.

THEORY OF OPERATION The MEMSIC device is a complete dual-axis acceleration measurement system fabricated on a monolithic CMOS IC process. The device operation is based on heat transfer by natural convection and operates like other accelerometers having a proof mass. The proof mass in the MEMSIC sensor is a gas. A single heat source, centered in the silicon chip is suspended across a cavity. Equally spaced aluminum/polysilicon thermopiles (groups of thermocouples) are located equidistantly on all four sides of the heat source (dual axis). Under zero acceleration, a temperature gradient is symmetrical about the heat source, so that the temperature is the same at all four thermopiles, causing them to output the same voltage. Acceleration in any direction will disturb the temperature profile, due to free convection heat transfer, causing it to be asymmetrical. The temperature, and hence voltage output of the four thermopiles will then be different. The differential voltage at the thermopile outputs is directly proportional to the acceleration. There are two identical acceleration signal paths on the accelerometer, one to measure acceleration in the x-axis and one to measure acceleration in the y-axis. Please visit the MEMSIC website at www.memsic.com for a picture/graphic description of the free convection heat transfer principle.

TP- This pin should be connected to the ground. Xout - This pin is the output of the x-axis acceleration sensor. The user should ensure the load impedance is sufficiently high as to not source/sink >100A typical. While the sensitivity of this axis has been programmed at the factory to be the same as the sensitivity for the y-axis, the accelerometer can be programmed for non-equal sensitivities on the x- and y-axes. Contact the factory for additional information.

DISCUSSION OF TILT APPLICATIONS AND RESOLUTION Tilt Applications: One of the most popular applications of the MEMSIC accelerometer product line is in tilt/inclination measurement. An accelerometer uses the force of gravity as an input to determine the inclination angle of an object. A MEMSIC accelerometer is most sensitive to changes in position, or tilt, when the accelerometer's sensitive axis is perpendicular to the force of gravity, or parallel to the Earth's surface. Similarly, when the accelerometer's axis is parallel to the force of gravity (perpendicular to the Earth's surface), it is least sensitive to changes in tilt. Table 1 and Figure 1 help illustrate the output changes in the X- and Y-axes as the unit is tilted from +90 to 0. Notice that when one axis has a small change in output per degree of tilt (in mg), the second axis has a large change in output per degree of tilt. The complementary nature of these two signals permits low cost accurate tilt sensing to be achieved with the MEMSIC device (reference application note AN-00MX-007).
Resolution: The accelerometer resolution is limited by noise. The output noise will vary with the measurement bandwidth. With the reduction of the bandwidth, by applying an external low pass filter, the output noise drops. Reduction of bandwidth will improve the signal to noise ratio and the resolution. The output noise scales directly with the square root of the measurement bandwidth. The maximum amplitude of the noise, its peak- to- peak value, approximately defines the worst case resolution of the measurement. With a simple RC low pass filter, the rms noise is calculated as follows: Noise (mg rms) = Noise(mg/ Hz ) * ( Bandwidth( Hz) *1.6) The peak-to-peak noise is approximately equal to 6.6 times the rms value (for an average uncertainty of 0.1%). USING THE MXR7202G/M WITH OPERATING VOLTAGES OTHER THAN 5V The MXR7202G/M is tested and specified at VDD=5V; however, it can be powered with VDD as low as 2.7V or as high as 5.25V. Some performance parameters will change as the supply voltage is varied. The MXR7202G/M output sensitivity will be linearly proportional to supply voltage. At 3V the output sensitivity is 3.0/5.0* 312mV/g = 187.2 mV/g. The zero g bias output is also ratiometric, so the zero g is normally equal to VDD/2 at all supply voltages.

EXTERNAL FILTERS AC Coupling: For applications where only dynamic accelerations (vibration) are to be measured, it is recommended to ac couple the accelerometer output as shown in Figure 2. The advantage of ac coupling is that zero g offset variations from part to part and zero g offset change over temperature can be eliminated. Figure 3 is a HFP (high pass filter) with a -3dB breakpoint given by the . In many applications it may be equation: f = 1 2RC desirable to have the HFP -3dB point at a very low frequency in order to detect very low frequency accelerations. Sometimes the implementation of this HFP may result in unreasonably large capacitors, and the designer may turn to digital implementations of HFPs where very low frequency -3dB breakpoints can be achieved.
POWER SUPPLY NOISE REJECTION One capacitor is recommended for best rejection of power supply noise (reference Figure 4 below). The capacitor should be located as close as possible to the device supply pin (VDD). The capacitor lead length should be as short as possible, and surface mount capacitor is preferred. For typical applications, the capacitor can be ceramic 0.1 F.

Low Pass Filter: An external low pass filter would be useful in low frequency applications such as tilt or inclination. The low pass filter limits the noise floor and improves the resolution of the accelerometer. The low pass filter shown in Figure 4 has a -3dB breakpoint given by the .

Liberal use of ceramic bypass capacitors is recommended. It is best to solder a 0.1uF capacitor directly across VDD and COM pin. Robust low inductance ground wiring should be used. Care should be taken to ensure there is "thermal symmetry" on the PCB immediately surrounding the MEMSIC device and that there is no significant heat source nearby. A metal ground plane should be added directly beneath the MEMSIC device. The size of the plane should be similar to the MEMSIC device's footprint and be as thick as possible. Vias can be added symmetrically around the ground plane. Vias increase thermal isolation of the device from the rest of the PCB.
