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 except that 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. MXC6202G/H/M/N PIN DESCRIPTIONS VDD - This is the supply input for the circuits and the sensor heater in the accelerometer. The DC voltage should be between 2.7 and 3.6 volts. Refer to the section on PCB layout and fabrication suggestions for guidance on external parts and connections recommended. GND- This is the ground pin for the accelerometer. COM- This pin should be connected to ground. TEST- Do Not Connect, factory use only. VDD2- This pin is the I2C input digital power supply, the voltage on this pin determines the I2C bus logic voltage, and is 1.8V compatible. Note: The voltage on this pin should never go higher than the voltage on VDD, if VDD2 has a lower power supply voltage than VDD, power should be applied to VDD first. SDA- This pin is the I2C serial data line, and operates in FAST (400 KHz.) mode. SCL- This pin is the I2C serial clock line, and operates in FAST (400 KHz.) mode.
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. Following table and figure 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%). HARDWARE DESIGN CONSIDERATION 1. One capacitor is recommended for best rejection of power supply noise (reference figure 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 a surface mount capacitor is preferred. For typical applications, the capacitor can be ceramic 0.1 F.
SOFTWARE DESIGN CONSIDERATION In order to further reduce the noise on the I2C bus, we recommend to use the following software limiter filter in the acceleration signal process routine: Int iAccReal[0x02];//Real-time acceleration data array Int iAccFilter;//Filtered acceleration data SoftwareLimiterFilter() { if (abs(iAccReal[0x00]-iAccReal[0x01])<0x80) then iAccFilter=iAccReal[0x00]; iAccReal[0x01]= iAccReal[0x00]; } I2C INTERFACE DESCRIPTION A slave mode I2C circuit has been implemented into the Memsic thermal accelerometer as a standard interface for customer applications. The A/D converter and MCU functionality have been added to the Memsic sensor, thereby increasing ease-of-use, and lowering power consumption, footprint and total solution cost. The I2C (or Inter IC bus) is an industry standard bidirectional two-wire interface bus. A master I2C device can operate READ/WRITE controls to an unlimited number of devices on the bus by proper addressing. The Memsic accelerometer operates only in a slave mode, i.e. only responding to calls by a master device I2C BUS CHARACTERISTICS
Power supply noise rejection 2. 3. 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. Based on the experiment, with a 120degC heating source at 11mm away of MEMSIC device, the offset change will be within 5mg. 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. These vias will increase the thermal isolation of the device from the rest of the PCB and improve performance.
I2C bus The two wires in I2C bus are called SDA (serial data line) and SCL (serial clock line). In order for a data transfer to start, the bus has to be free, which is defined by both wires in a HIGH output state. Due to the open-drain/pull-up resistor structure and wire-AND operation, any device on the bus can pull lines low and overwrite a HIGH signal. The data on the SDA line has to be stable during the HIGH period of the SCL line. In other words, valid data can only change when the SCL line is LOW.

I2C BUS DATA TRANSFER
A data transfer is started with a "START" condition and ended with a "STOP" condition. A "START" condition is defined by a HIGH to LOW transition on the SDA line while SCL line is HIGH. A "STOP" condition is defined by a LOW to HIGH transition on the SDA line while SCL line is HIGH. All data transfer in I2C system is 8-bits long. Each byte has to be followed by an acknowledge bit. Each data transfer involves a total of 9 clock cycles. Data is transferred starting with the most significant bit (MSB). After a "START" condition, master device calls a specific slave device, in our case, the Memsic accelerometer with a 7-bit device address. To avoid potential address conflict, either by ICs from other manufacturers or by other Memsic accelerometers on the same bus, a total of 8 different addresses can be programmed into a Memsic device at the factory. Following the 7-bit address, the 8th bit determines the direction of data transfer: [1] for READ and [0] for WRITE. After being addressed, the available Memsic device being called will respond by an "Acknowledge" signal, which is pulling SDA line LOW. In order to read an acceleration signal, the master device should operate a WRITE action with a code of [xxxxxxx0] into the Memsic device 8-bit internal register. Bit 0 1 2 3 Name Function PD (Power Down) Power down [1]/on [0] ST (Self-test) Self-test on [1]/off [0] BGTST (bandgap test) Bandgap test [1]/normal[0] TOEN (temperature Temp Out EN [1]/disable[0] out enable) The ST bit serves as a self-test function to verify the Memsic accelerometer is operating properly. BGTST is used to calibrate the temperature output signal's initial offset. By flipping the BGTST bit and taking the average of two readings, the temperature output initial offset will be calibrated to within datasheet specifications. Data transfer POWER DOWN MODE The Memsic accelerometer can enter a power down mode by the master device writing a code of [xxxxxxx1] into the accelerometer's internal register. A wake up operation is performed when the master writes into the same register a code of [xxxxxxx0]. Note that the MXC6202G/H/M/N needs about 75mS (typical) for power up time. EXAMPLE OF DATA COMMUNICATION First cycle: START followed by a calling to slave address [0010xxx] to WRITE (8th SCL, SDA keep low). [xxx] Is determined by factory programming, a total of 8 different addresses are available. Second cycle: After an acknowledge signal is received by the master device (Memsic device pulls SDA line low during 9th SCL pulse), master device sends "[00000000]" as the target address to be written into. Memsic device should acknowledge at the end (9th SCL pulse). Note: since Memsic device has only one internal register that can be written into, user should always indicate "[00000000]" as the write address. Third cycle: Master device writes to internal Memsic device memory code "[xxxxxxx0]" as a wake-up call. The Memsic device should send acknowledge signal. A STOP command indicates the end of write operation. A 75msS (typical) wait period should be given to Memsic device to return from a power-down mode. The delay value depends on the type of Memsic device. Generally speaking, low power products tend to have longer startup time. 11/10/2005 output register refresh rate. Unused MSB's will be simply filled by "0"s. Note that temperature output shares the same registers with X channel output. Customer can select which signal needs to be read out by using TOEN bit. Resolution Refreshing rate Zero-G Offset 10 bits 400Hz 512 12 bits 100Hz 2048
The master can stop slave data transfer after any of the five bytes by not sending an acknowledge command and followed by a "STOP" condition.
After writing code of [xxxxxxx0] into the control register, if a "READ" signal is received, during next 9 clock cycles, the Memsic device being called will transfer 8-bits of data to the I2C bus. If an "Acknowledge" by master device is received, the Memsic device will continue to transfer the next byte. The same procedure repeats until 5 bytes of data are transferred to master device. Those 5 bytes of data are defined as following ("T" is temperature output): 1. Internal register 2. MSB X/T axis 3. LSB X/T axis 4. MSB Y axis 5. LSB Y axis Even though each axis consists of two bytes, which are 16bits of data, the actual accelerometer resolution is limited to either 12 bits or 10 bits, which depends on an internal MEMSIC MXC6202G/H/M/N Rev.B

Fourth cycle: Master device sends a START command followed by calling Memsic device address with a WRITE (8th SCL, SDA keep low). An "acknowledge" should be sent by Memsic device at the end. Fifth cycle: Master device writes to Memsic device a "[00000000]" as the starting address for which internal memory is to be read. Since "[00000000]" is the address of internal control register, reading from this address can serve as a verification of operation and to confirm the write command has been successful. Note: the starting address in principle can be any of the 5 addresses. For example, user can start read from address [0000001], which is X channel MSB. Sixth cycle: Master device calls Memsic device address with a READ (8th SCL cycle SDA line high). Memsic device should acknowledge at the end. Seventh cycle: Master device cycles SCL line, first addressed memory data appears on SDA line. If in step 7, "[00000000]" was sent, internal control register data should appear (in the following steps, this case is assumed). Master device should send acknowledge at the end.
Eighth cycle: Master device continues cycle SCL line, next byte of internal memory should appear on SDA line (MSB of X channel). The internal memory address pointer automatically moves to the next byte. Master acknowledges. Ninth cycle: LSB of X channel. In the case that TOEN bit of internal register was set to "1", the MSB and LSB of TOUT (temperature) should appear in last two steps. Tenth cycle: MSB of Y channel. Eleventh cycle: LSB of Y channel. Master ends communications by sending NO acknowledge and followed by a STOP command. Note: if mater device continues to cycle SCL line, the memory pointer will go to sixth and seventh positions, which always have "[00000000]". After seventh position, pointer will go to zero again. Optional: Master powers down Memsic device by writing into internal control register. (See step 1 through 4 for WRITE operation)
