GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MXR9150G/M is a low cost, tri axis accelerometer
fabricated on a standard, submicron CMOS process. It is a
complete sensing system with on-chip mixed signal
processing. The MXR9150G/M measures acceleration with
a full-scale range of ±5.0 g and a sensitivity of 150mV/g
@3.0V at 25°C. It can measure both dynamic acceleration
(e.g. vibration) and static acceleration (e.g. gravity). The
MXR9150G/M design is based on heat convection and
requires no solid proof mass. This eliminates stiction and
particle problems associated with competitive devices and
provides shock survival greater than 50,000 g, leading to
significantly lower failure rate and lower loss due to
handling during PCB assembly and at customer field
application.
The Max. noise floor is 1 mg/ Hz allowing signals below
1mg to be resolved at 1 Hz bandwidth. The MXR9150G/M
is packaged in a hermetically sealed, surface mount LCC
16pins package (7 mm x 7 mm x 1.8 mm height) and is
operational over a -40°C to +85°C (M) and 0°C to +70°C (G)
temperature range.
I2C fast mode interface is soon available in the next generation
chip.
