ADXL335
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADXL335 is a small, thin, low power, complete 3-axis accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs. The product measures acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of ±3 g. It can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt­sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion, shock, or vibration.
The user selects the bandwidth of the accelerometer using the C
, CY, and CZ capacitors at the X
X
Bandwidths can be selected to suit the application, with a range of 0.5 Hz to 1600 Hz for X and Y axes, and a range of
0.5 Hz to 550 Hz for the Z axis.
The ADXL335 is available in a small, low profile, 4 mm × 4 mm × 1.45 mm, 16-lead, plastic lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP_LQ).

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADXL335 is a complete 3-axis acceleration measurement system. The ADXL335 has a measurement range of ±3 g minimum. 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 can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt sensing applications as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion, shock, or vibration.
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 moving mass and unbalances the differential capacitor resulting in a sensor output whose amplitude is proportional to acceleration. Phase-sensitive demodulation techniques are then used to determine the magnitude and direction of the acceleration.
MECHANICAL SENSOR
The ADXL335 uses a single structure for sensing the X, Y, and Z axes. As a result, the three axes sense directions are highly orthogonal with little cross axis sensitivity. Mechanical mis­alignment of the sensor die to the package is the chief source of cross axis sensitivity. Mechanical misalignment can, of course, be calibrated out at the system level.
PERFORMANCE
Rather than using additional temperature compensation circuitry, innovative design techniques ensure high performance is built-in to the ADXL335. As a result, there is neither quantization error nor nonmonotonic behavior, and temperature hysteresis is very low (typically less than 3 mg over the −25°C to +70°C temperature range).
The demodulator output is amplified and brought off-chip through a 32 kΩ resistor. The user then sets 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 µF capacitor, CDC, placed close to the ADXL335 supply pins adequately decouples the accelerometer from noise on the power supply. However, in applications where noise is present at the 50 kHz internal clock frequency (or any harmonic thereof), additional care in power supply bypassing is required as this noise can cause errors in acceleration measurement. If additional decoupling is needed, a 100 Ω (or smaller) resistor or ferrite bead can be inserted in the supply line. Additionally, a larger bulk bypass capacitor (1 µF or greater) can be added in parallel to C
. Ensure that
DC
the connection from the ADXL335 ground to the power supply ground is low impedance because noise transmitted through ground has a similar effect as noise transmitted through V
.
S
SETTING THE BANDWIDTH USING CX, CY, AND CZ
The ADXL335 has provisions for band limiting the X and Z
pins. Capacitors must be added at these pins to

or more simply

F
–3 dB
The tolerance of the internal resistor (R
(X, Y, Z )
) typically varies as

much as ±15% of its nominal value (32 kΩ), and the bandwidth varies accordingly. A minimum capacitance of 0.0047 F for C C
, and CZ is recommended in all cases.

The resulting movement of the beam allows the user to test if the accelerometer is functional. The typical change in output is
−500 mg (corresponding to −150 mV) in the X-axis, 500 mg (or 150 mV) on the Y-axis, and −200 mg (or −60 mV) on the Z-axis. This ST pin may be left open circuit or connected to common (COM) in normal use.
Never expose the ST pin to voltages greater than V this cannot be guaranteed due to the system design (for instance, if there are multiple supply voltages), then a low V clamping diode between ST and V
is recommended.
S
DESIGN TRADE-OFFS FOR SELECTING FILTER CHARACTERISTICS: THE NOISE/BW TRADE-OFF
The selected accelerometer bandwidth ultimately determines the measurement resolution (smallest detectable acceleration). Filtering can be used to lower the noise floor to improve the resolution of the accelerometer. Resolution is dependent on the analog filter bandwidth at X
OUT
, Y
OUT
, and Z
The output of the ADXL335 has a typical bandwidth of greater than 500 Hz. 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 ADXL335 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 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 ADXL335 is determined by
Often, the peak value of the noise is desired. Peak-to-peak noise can only be estimated by statistical methods. Table 6 is useful for estimating the probabilities of exceeding various peak values, given the rms value.

The ADXL335 output is ratiometric, therefore, the output sensitivity (or scale factor) varies proportionally to the supply voltage. At V typically 360 mV/g. At V

S

The zero g bias output is also ratiometric, so the zero g output is nominally equal to V
/2 at all supply voltages.
S
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 V

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 V

approximately −275 mV for the X-axis, +275 mV for the Y-axis, and −100 mV for the Z-axis.
