adxl311 rev. b | page 8 of 12 theory of operation the adxl311 is a complete, dual-axis acceleration measurement system on a single monolithic ic. it contains a polysilicon, surface- micromachined sensor and signal conditioning circuitry to implement an open-loop acceleration measurement architecture. the output signals are analog voltage proportional to acceleration. the adxl311 is capable of measuring both positive and negative accelerations to at least 2 g . the accelerometer can measure static acceleration forces, such as gravity, allowing it to be used as a tilt sensor. the sensor is a polysilicon, surface-micromachined 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 central 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 propor- tional 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 k? 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. 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 can cause interference on the adxl311 output. if additional decoupling is needed, a 100 ? (or smaller) resistor or ferrite beads can be inserted in the supply line of the adxl311. additionally, a larger bulk bypass capacitor (in the 1 f to 4.7 f range) can be added in parallel to cdc. setting the bandwidth using c x and c y the adxl311 has provisions for band limiting the x out and y out 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 ( ) () ( ) yx c f , db3C k 322/1 = or, more simply, () x,y c /f5f db3C = the tolerance of the internal resistor (r filt ) can vary, typically as much as 15% of its nominal value of 32 k?, and the band- width varies accordingly. a minimum capacitance of 1000 pf for c x and c y is required in all cases. table 5. filter capacitor selection, c x and c y bandwidth capacitor (f) 10 hz 0.47 50 hz 0.10 100 hz 0.05 200 hz 0.027 500 hz 0.01 self test the st pin controls the self-test feature. when this pin is set to v dd , an electrostatic force is exerted on the beam of the acceler- ometer. the resulting movement of the beam allows the user to test if the accelerometer is functional. the typical change in output is 290 m g (corresponding to 50 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 lower the noise floor, which improves the resolution of the accelerometer. resolution is dependent on the analog filter bandwidth at x out and y out . obsolete
adxl311 rev. b | page 9 of 12 the output of the adxl311 has a typical bandwidth of 3 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 can be further decreased to reduce noise and improve resolution. the adxl311 noise has the characteristics of white gaussian noise that contribute equally at all frequencies and are described in terms of g/ hz , i.e., the noise is proportional to the square root of the bandwidth of the accelerometer. it is recommended that the user limits the 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 adxl311 is determined by ( ) ( ) 6.1 hz/300 = bw g noiserms at 100 hz the noise will be ( ) ( ) g g noiserms m8.36.1100hz/300 == often the peak value of the noise is desired. peak-to-peak noise can only be estimated by statistical methods. table 6 shows the probabilities of exceeding various peak values, given the rms value. table 6. estimation of peak-to-peak noise peak-to-peak value % of time that noise exceeds nominal peak-to-peak value 2 rms 32 4 rms 4.6 6 rms 0.27 8 rms 0.006 the peak-to-peak noise value gives the best estimate of the uncertainty in a single measurement. table 7 gives the typical noise output of the adxl311 for various c x and c y values. table 7. filter capacitor selection, c x and c y bandwidth (hz) c x , c y (f) rms noise (m g ) peak-to-peak noise estimate (m g ) 10 0.47 1.2 7.2 50 0.1 2.7 16.2 100 0.047 3.8 22.8 500 0.01 8.5 51 using the adxl311 with operating voltages other than 3 v the adxl311 is tested and specified at v dd = 3 v; however, it can be powered with v dd as low as 2.4 v, or as high as 5.25 v. some performance parameters change as the supply voltage varies. the adxl311 output is ratiometric, so the output sensitivity (or scale factor) varies proportionally to the supply voltage. at v dd = 5 v, the output sensitivity is typically 312 mv/ g . the 0 g bias output is also ratiometric, so the 0 g output is nominally equal to v dd /2 at all supply voltages. the output noise is not ratiometric, but 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. the self-test response is roughly proportional to the square of the supply voltage. at v dd = 5 v, the self-test response is approximately equivalent to 750 m g (typical). the supply current increases as the supply voltage increases. typical current consumption at v dd = 5 v is 750 a. using the adxl311 as a dual-axis tilt sensor one of the most popular applications of the adxl311 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, i.e., parallel to the earths surface. when the accelerometer is oriented parallel to the gravity vector, i.e., near its +1 g or C1 g reading, the change in output acceleration per degree of tilt is negligible. when the acceler- ometer is perpendicular to gravity, its output changes nearly 17.5 m g per degree of tilt, but at 45 degrees, it changes only 12.2 m g 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 earths surface, it can be used as a two-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 C1 g and +1 g , the output tilt in degrees is calculated as follows: ( ) gasin pitch x 1/a = ( ) gasinroll y 1/a = 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. obsolete
