NOTES
1 Guaranteed by measurement of initial offset and sensitivity.
2 Alignment error is specified as the angle between the true and indicated
axis of sensitivity.
3 Transverse sensitivity is the algebraic sum of the alignment and the
inherent sensitivity errors.
4 The sensitivity change over temperature for thermal accelerometers is
based on variations in heat transfer that are governed by the laws of
physics and it is highly consistent from device to device. Please refer to
the section in this data sheet titled “Compensation for the Change of
Sensitivity over Temperature” for more information.
5 External circuitry is required to extend the 3dB bandwidth. (ref.
Application Note: AN-00MX-003).
6 The device operates over a 2.7V to 5.25V supply range. Please note that
sensitivity and zero g bias level will be slightly different at 2.7V operation.
For devices to be operated at 2.7V/3.0V in production, they can be
trimmed at the factory specifically for this lower supply voltage operation,
in which case the sensitivity and zero g bias level specifications on this
page will be met. Please contact the factory for specially trimmed devices
for low supply voltage operation.
7 Note that the accelerometer has a constant heater power control circuit
thereby requiring higher supply current at lower operating voltage.
