Micromachined Accelerometer

The MMA7330L is a low power, low profile capacitive micromachined
accelerometer featuring signal conditioning, a 1-pole low pass filter,
temperature compensation, self test, and g-Select which allows for the
selection between 2 sensitivities. Zero-g offset and sensitivity are factory set
and require no external devices. The MMA7330L includes a Sleep Mode that
makes it ideal for handheld battery powered electronics.

ELECTRO STATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)

WARNING: This device is sensitive to electrostatic

discharge.

Although the Freescale accelerometer contains internal
2000 V ESD protection circuitry, extra precaution must be
taken by the user to protect the chip from ESD. A charge of
over 2000 volts can accumulate on the human body or
associated test equipment. A charge of this magnitude can

alter the performance or cause failure of the chip. When
handling the accelerometer, proper ESD precautions should
be followed to avoid exposing the device to discharges which
may be detrimental to its performance.

1. For a loaded output, the measurements are observed after an RC filter consisting of an internal 32kΩ resistor and an external 3.3nF capacitor
(recommended as a minimum to filter clock noise) on the analog output for each axis and a 0.1μF capacitor on V
bandwidth is determined by the Capacitor added on the output. f = 1/2π * (32 x 10

3

) * C. C = 3.3 nF corresponds to BW = 1507HZ, which is

- GND. The output sensor

DD

the minimum to filter out internal clock noise.

2. These limits define the range of operation for which the part will meet specification.

3. Within the supply range of 2.2 and 3.6 V, the device operates as a fully calibrated linear accelerometer. Beyond these supply limits the device
may operate as a linear device but is not guaranteed to be in calibration.

4. This value is measured with g-Select in 4g mode.

5. The device can measure both + and – acceleration. With no input acceleration the output is at midsupply. For positive acceleration the output
will increase above V

/2. For negative acceleration, the output will decrease below VDD/2.

DD

6. For optimal 0g offset performance, adhere to AN3484 and AN3447.

7. The response time between 10% of full scale Vdd input voltage and 90% of the final operating output voltage.

8. The response time between 10% of full scale Sleep Mode input voltage and 90% of the final operating output voltage.

9. The response time between 10% of the full scale self test input voltage and 90% of the self test output voltage.

10. A measure of the device’s ability to reject an acceleration applied 90° from the true axis of sensitivity.
