GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADXL321 is a small and thin, low power, complete dualaxis accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs, which is all on a single monolithic IC. The product measures acceleration with a full-scale range of 18 g (typical). It can also measure both dynamic acceleration (vibration) and static acceleration (gravity). The ADXL321's typical noise floor is 320 g/Hz, allowing signals below 3 mg to be resolved in tilt-sensing applications using narrow bandwidths (<50 Hz). The user selects the bandwidth of the accelerometer using capacitors CX and CY at the XOUT and YOUT pins. Bandwidths of 0.5 Hz to 2.5 kHz may be selected to suit the application. The ADXL321 is available in a very thin 4 mm x 4 mm x 1.45 mm, 16-lead, plastic LFCSP.

ADXL321 THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADXL321 is a complete acceleration measurement system on a single monolithic IC. The ADXL321 has a measurement range of 18 g. It contains a polysilicon surface-micromachined sensor and signal conditioning circuitry to implement an openloop acceleration measurement architecture. The output signals are analog voltages that are proportional to acceleration. The accelerometer measures static acceleration forces, such as gravity, which allows it to be used as a tilt sensor. The sensor is a polysilicon surface-micromachined structure built on top of a 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 180 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 demodulator's output is amplified and brought off-chip through a 32 k resistor. The user then sets 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 high performance is built-in. As a result, there is neither quantization error nor nonmonotonic behavior, and temperature hysteresis is very low (typically less than 10 mg over the -20C to +70C temperature range). Figure 10 shows the zero g output performance of eight parts (X- and Y-axis) over a -20C to +70C temperature range. Figure 13 demonstrates the typical sensitivity shift over temperature for supply voltages of 3 V. This is typically better than 1% over the -20C to +70C temperature range.

ADXL321 APPLICATIONS
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
For most applications, a single 0.1 F capacitor, CDC, adequately decouples the accelerometer from noise on the power supply. However, in some cases, particularly where noise is present at the 140 kHz internal clock frequency (or any harmonic thereof), noise on the supply may cause interference on the ADXL321 output. If additional decoupling is needed, a 100 (or smaller) resistor or ferrite bead may be inserted in the supply line. Additionally, a larger bulk bypass capacitor (in the 1 F to 4.7 F range) may be added in parallel to CDC.
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, which improves the resolution of the accelerometer. Resolution is dependent on the analog filter bandwidth at XOUT and YOUT. The output of the ADXL321 has a typical bandwidth of 2.5 kHz. The user must filter the signal at this point to limit aliasing errors. The analog bandwidth must be no more than half the A/D sampling frequency to minimize aliasing. The analog bandwidth may be further decreased to reduce noise and improve resolution. The ADXL321 noise has the characteristics of white Gaussian noise, which contributes equally at all frequencies and is described in terms of g/Hz (the noise is proportional to the square root of the accelerometer's bandwidth). The user should limit bandwidth to the lowest frequency needed by the application in order to maximize the resolution and dynamic range of the accelerometer. With the single-pole, roll-off characteristic, the typical noise of the ADXL321 is determined by
SETTING THE BANDWIDTH USING CX AND CY
The ADXL321 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/(2(32 k) x C(X, Y)) or more simply, F-3 dB = 5 F/C(X, Y) The tolerance of the internal resistor (RFILT) typically varies as much as 15% of its nominal value (32 k), and the bandwidth varies accordingly. A minimum capacitance of 2000 pF for CX and CY is required in all cases. Table 5. Filter Capacitor Selection, CX and CY
Bandwidth (Hz) 1 10 50 100 200 500 Capacitor (F) 4.7 0.47 0.10 0.05 0.027 0.01
rmsNoise = (320 g/ Hz ) x ( BW x1.6 )
At 100 Hz bandwidth the noise will be
rmsNoise = (320 g/ Hz ) x ( 100 x1.6 ) = 4 mg
Often, the peak value of the noise is desired. Peak-to-peak noise can only be estimated by statistical methods. A factor of 6 is generally used to convert rms to peak-to-peak. Table 6 is useful for estimating the probabilities of exceeding various peak values, given the rms value. Table 6. Estimation of Peak-to-Peak Noise
Peak-to-Peak Value 2 x rms 4 x rms 6 x rms 8 x rms % of Time That Noise Exceeds Nominal Peak-to-Peak Value 32 4.6 0.27 0.006
SELF-TEST
The ST pin controls the self-test feature. When this pin is set to VS, an electrostatic force is exerted on the accelerometer beam. The resulting movement of the beam allows the user to test if the accelerometer is functional. The typical change in output is 315 mg (corresponding to 18 mV). This pin may be left opencircuit or connected to common (COM) in normal use. The ST pin should never be exposed to voltages greater than VS + 0.3 V. If this cannot be guaranteed due to the system design (for instance, if there are multiple supply voltages), then a low VF clamping diode between ST and VS is recommended.

Peak-to-peak noise values give the best estimate of the uncertainty in a single measurement. Table 7 gives the typical noise output of the ADXL321 for various CX and CY values. Table 7. Filter Capacitor Selection (CX, CY)

USE AS A DUAL-AXIS TILT SENSOR
An accelerometer is most sensitive to tilt when its sensitive axis is perpendicular to the force of gravity (that is, when it 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 (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 17.5 mg per degree of tilt. At 45, its output changes at only 12.2 mg per degree of tilt, and resolution declines.
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 both a roll axis and 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 PITCH = arcsine(AX/1 g) ROLL = arcsine(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.
USE WITH OPERATING VOLTAGES OTHER THAN 3 V
The ADXL321 is tested and specified at VS = 3 V; however, it can be powered with VS as low as 2.4 V or as high as 6 V. Note that some performance parameters change as the supply voltage is varied. The ADXL321 output is ratiometric, so the sensitivity (or scale factor) varies proportionally to supply voltage. At VS = 5 V, the sensitivity is typically 100 mV/g. At VS = 2.4 V, the sensitivity is typically 45 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 = 5 V, the noise density is typically 190 g/Hz, while at VS = 2.4 V, the noise density is typically 400 g/Hz, 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, the self-test response in volts is roughly proportional to the cube of the supply voltage. For example, at VS = 5 V, the self-test response for the ADXL321 is approximately 80 mV. At VS = 2.4 V, the self-test response is approximately 8 mV. The supply current decreases as the supply voltage decreases. Typical current consumption at VS = 5 V is 750 A, and typical current consumption at VS = 2.4 V is 350 A.
