SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNICAL DATA
±40g
The MMAS40G family of silicon capacitive, micro–machined accelerometers
features integral signal amplification, signal conditioning, a 4–pole low–pass
filter and temperature compensation. Zero–G offset, full scale span and filter
roll–off are factory set and require no external passives. A calibrated self–test
feature mechanically displaces the seismic mass with the application of a digital
self–test signal.
The MMAS40G incorporates a single polysilicon seismic mass, suspended
between two fixed polysilicon plates (G–cell). The forces of acceleration move
the seismic mass, thereby resulting in a change in capacitance. The G–cell is
sealed at the wafer level, creating a particle–free environment. The G–cell
features built–in damping and over–range stops to protect it from mechanical
shock.
MMAS40G accelerometers are ideally suited for automotive crash detection
and recording, vibration monitoring, automotive suspension control, appliance
control systems, etc.

NOTES:
1. The output voltage increases from the Zero Acceleration Output for positive acceleration and decreases for negative acceleration. The
typical sensitivity is 40 mV/g. For example, with VS = 5.0 V , a +20g input will result in a 3.3 V output. (V
input will result in a 1.7 V output.
2. Sensitivity is a ratiometric parameter: ∆V/∆G
3. The compensated temperature operating range is –40 to +85°C.
4. Zero Acceleration Output is a ratiometric parameter: V
5. Equivalent output in response to a Logic Level One on the self–test pin.
6. Additional temperature range available. Consult factory.
