2.5 Terminology

2.5.1 Sensitivity

Sensitivity describes the gain of the sensor and can be determined e.g. by applying 1 g acceleration to it. As the sensor can measure DC accelerations this can be done easily by pointing the axis of interest towards the center of the earth, noting the output value, rotating the sensor by 180 degrees (pointing to the sky) and noting the output value again. By doing so, ±1 g acceleration is applied to the sensor. Subtracting the larger output value from the smaller one, and dividing the result by 2, leads to the actual sensitivity of the sensor. This value changes very little over temperature and also time. The sensitivity tolerance describes the range of sensitivities of a large population of sensors.

2.5.2 Zero-g level

Zero-g level offset (TyOff) describes the deviation of an actual output signal from the ideal output signal if no acceleration is present. A sensor in a steady-state on a horizontal surface measures 0 g in X-axis and 0 g in Y-axis whereas the Z-axis measures 1 g. The output is ideally in the middle of the dynamic range of the sensor (content of OUT registers 00h, data expressed as 2’s complement number). A deviation from the ideal value in this case is called Zero-g offset. Offset is, to some extent, a result of stress to the MEMS sensor and therefore can slightly change after mounting the sensor onto a printed circuit board or exposing it to extensive mechanical stress. Offset changes little over temperature, see “Zero-g level change vs. temperature”. The Zero-g level tolerance (TyOff) describes the standard deviation of the range of Zero-g levels of a population of sensors.

2.5.3 Sleep to wake-up

The “sleep to wake-up” function, in conjunction with low power mode, allows to further reduce the system power consumption and develop new smart applications. The H3LIS331DL may be set in a low power operating mode, characterized by lower date rate refreshments. In this way the device, even if sleeping, continues to sense acceleration and generate interrupt requests. When the “sleep to wake-up” function is activated, the H3LIS331DL is able to automatically wake up as soon as the interrupt event has been detected, increasing the output data rate and bandwidth. With this feature the system may be efficiently switched from low power mode to full performance, depending on user-selectable positioning and acceleration events, therefore ensuring power saving and flexibility.

H3LIS331DL Functionality

3 Functionality

The H3LIS331DL is a “nano”, low power, digital output 3-axis linear accelerometer packaged in an LGA package. The complete device includes a sensing element and an IC interface able to take the information from the sensing element and to provide a signal to the external world through an I

3.1 Sensing element

A proprietary process is used to create a surface micro-machined accelerometer. The technology allows suspended silicon structures to be carried out, which are attached to the substrate in a few points called anchors and are free to move in the direction of the sensed acceleration. To be compatible with the traditional packaging techniques, a cap is placed on top of the sensing element to avoid blocking the moving parts during the moulding phase of the plastic encapsulation.
When an acceleration is applied to the sensor the proof mass displaces from its nominal position, causing an imbalance in the capacitive half bridge. This imbalance is measured using charge integration in response to a voltage pulse applied to the capacitor.
At steady-state the nominal value of the capacitors are few pF and when an acceleration is applied the maximum variation of the capacitive load is in the fF range.
2
C/SPI serial interface.

3.2 IC interface

The complete measurement chain is composed of a low-noise capacitive amplifier which converts the capacitive unbalancing of the MEMS sensor into an analog voltage that is finally available to the user through an analog-to-digital converter.
The acceleration data may be accessed through an I particularly suitable for direct interfacing with a microcontroller.
The H3LIS331DL features a data-ready signal (RDY) which indicates when a new set of measured acceleration data is available, therefore simplifying data synchronization in the digital system that uses the device.

3.3 Factory calibration

The IC interface is factory calibrated for sensitivity (So) and Zero-g level (TyOff).
The trimming values are stored inside the device in a non-volatile memory. Any time the device is turned on, the trimming parameters are downloaded into the registers to be used during the active operation. This allows the device to be used without further calibration.

The device core is supplied through the Vdd line while the I/O pads are supplied through the Vdd_IO line. Power supply decoupling capacitors (100 nF ceramic, 10 µF aluminum) should be placed as near as possible to pin 14 of the device (common design practice).
All the voltage and ground supplies must be present at the same time to have proper behavior of the IC (refer to Figure 5). It is possible to remove Vdd maintaining Vdd_IO without blocking the communication bus, in this condition the measurement chain is powered off.

5 Digital interfaces

The registers embedded inside the H3LIS331DL may be accessed through both the I2C and SPI serial interfaces. The latter may be SW configured to operate either in 3-wire or 4-wire interface mode.
The serial interfaces are mapped onto the same pads. To select/exploit the I CS line must be tied high (i.e. connected to Vdd_IO).

Slave The device addressed by the master
The device which initiates a transfer, generates clock signals and terminates a transfer
There are two signals associated with the I2C bus: the serial clock line (SCL) and the serial data line (SDA). The latter is a bi-directional line used for sending and receiving the data to/from the interface. Both the lines are connected to Vdd_IO through a pull-up resistor embedded inside the H3LIS331DL. When the bus is free both lines are high.

Digital interfaces H3LIS331DL

5.1.1 I2C operation

The transaction on the bus is started through a START (ST) signal. A START condition is defined as a high to low transition on the data line while the SCL line is held high. After this has been transmitted by the master, the bus is considered busy. The next byte of data transmitted after the START condition contains the address of the slave in the first 7 bits and the eighth bit tells whether the master is receiving data from the slave or transmitting data to the slave. When an address is sent, each device in the system compares the first seven bits after a START condition with its address. If they match, the device considers itself addressed by the master.
The slave address (SAD) associated to the H3LIS331DL is 001100xb. The SDO/SA0 pad can be used to modify the less significant bit of the device address. If the SA0 pad is connected to the voltage supply, LSB is ‘1’ (address 0011001b) or else, if the SA0 pad is connected to ground, the LSB value is ‘0’ (address 0011000b). This solution allows the connection and addressing of two different accelerometers to the same I
Data transfer with acknowledge is mandatory. The transmitter must release the SDA line during the acknowledge pulse. The receiver must then pull the data line low so that it remains stable low during the high period of the acknowledge clock pulse. A receiver which has been addressed is obliged to generate an acknowledge after each byte of data received.
2
The I
C embedded inside the H3LIS331DL behaves like a slave device and the following protocol must be adhered to. After the START condition (ST) a slave address is sent, once a slave acknowledge (SAK) has been returned, an 8-bit sub-address (SUB) is transmitted: the 7 LSB represent the actual register address while the MSB enables address auto increment. If the MSB of the SUB field is ‘1’, the SUB (register address) is automatically increased to allow multiple data read/write.
2
C lines.
The slave address is completed with a Read/Write bit. If the bit is ‘1’ (read), a repeated START (SR) condition must be issued after the two sub-address bytes; if the bit is ‘0’ (write), the master transmits to the slave with the direction unchanged. Ta bl e 1 0 explains how the SAD+Read/Write bit pattern is composed, listing all the possible configurations.

Slave SAK SAK SAK DATA DATA DATA
Data are transmitted in byte format (DATA). Each data transfer contains 8 bits. The number of bytes transferred per transfer is unlimited. Data is transferred with the most significant bit (MSB) first. If a receiver can’t receive another complete byte of data until it has performed some other function, it can hold the clock line SCL low to force the transmitter into a wait state. Data transfer only continues when the receiver is ready for another byte and releases the data line. If a slave receiver doesn’t acknowledge the slave address (i.e. it is not able to receive because it is performing some real-time function) the data line must be left high by the slave. The master can then abort the transfer. A low to high transition on the SDA line while the SCL line is high is defined as a STOP condition. Each data transfer must be terminated by the generation of a STOP (SP) condition.
In order to read multiple bytes, it is necessary to assert the most significant bit of the sub­address field. In other words, SUB(7) must be equal to 1 while SUB(6-0) represents the address of first register to be read.
In the presented communication format MAK is master acknowledge and NMAK is no master acknowledge.

5.2 SPI bus interface

The H3LIS331DL SPI is a bus slave. The SPI allows the writing and reading of the device registers.
The serial interface interacts with the outside world with 4 wires: CS, SPC, SDI and SDO.

Figure 6. Read and write protocol

CS is the serial port enable and it is controlled by the SPI master. It goes low at the start of
the transmission and goes back high at the end. SPC is the serial port clock and it is controlled by the SPI master. It is stopped high when CS is high (no transmission). SDI and SDO are respectively the serial port data input and output. Those lines are driven at the falling edge of SPC and should be captured at the rising edge of SPC.
Both the read register and write register commands are completed in 16 clock pulses or in multiples of 8 in the case of multiple byte read/write. Bit duration is the time between two falling edges of SPC. The first bit (bit 0) starts at the first falling edge of SPC after the falling edge of CS while the last bit (bit 15, bit 23, ...) starts at the last falling edge of SPC just before the rising edge of CS.
bit 0: RW from the device is read. In the latter case, the chip drives SDO at the start of bit 8.

bit 8-15: data DO(7:0) (read mode). This is the data that is read from the device (MSB first).
In multiple read/write commands further blocks of 8 clock periods are added. When the MS bit is ‘0’, the address used to read/write data remains the same for every block. When the MS
bit is ‘1’ the address used to read/write data is increased at every block.
The function and the behavior of SDI and SDO remain unchanged.

Registers marked as Reserved must not be changed as they contain the factory calibration values. Their content is automatically restored when the device is powered up. Writing to those registers may change calibration data and thus lead to improper functioning of the device.

The PM bits allow the user to select between power-down and two operating active modes. The device is in power-down mode when the PD bits are set to “000” (default value after boot). Ta bl e 1 9 shows all the possible power mode configurations and respective output data rates. Output data in the low power modes are computed with low-pass filter cutoff frequency defined by DR1, DR0 bits.
The DR bits, in normal mode operation, select the data rate at which acceleration samples are produced. In low power mode they define the output data resolution. Ta b l e 2 0 shows all the possible configurations for DR1 and DR0 bits.

The BOOT bit is used to refresh the content of internal registers stored in the Flash memory block. At the device power-up, the content of the Flash memory block is transferred to the internal registers related to trimming functions in order to permit a good behavior of the device itself. If for any reason the content of trimming registers is changed, it is sufficient to use this bit to restore the correct values. When the BOOT bit is set to ‘1’ the content of the internal Flash is copied inside corresponding internal registers and it is used to calibrate the device. These values are factory trimmed and they are different for every accelerometer. They permit a good behavior of the device and normally they do not have to be changed. At the end of the boot process the BOOT bit is set again to ‘0’.

The BDU bit is used to inhibit output register updates between the reading of upper and lower register parts. In default mode (BDU = ‘0’), the lower and upper register parts are updated continuously. If it is not clear whether to read faster than the output data rate, it is recommended to set the BDU bit to ‘1’. In this way, after the reading of the lower (upper) register part, the content of that output registers is not updated until the upper (lower) part is read too. This feature avoids the reading of LSB and MSB related to different samples.
