**PART NUMBER: KX126-1063 ± 2g / 4g / 8g Tri-axis Digital Rev. 1.0 Accelerometer Specifications 22-Jun-17** 

## **Product Description** 

The KX126-1063 is a tri-axis ±2g, ±4g or ±8g silicon micromachined accelerometer with integrated Pedometer, 2048-byte buffer, orientation, tap/double tap, activity detecting, and Free fall algorithms. The sense element is fabricated using Kionix’s proprietary plasma micromachining process technology. Acceleration sensing is based on the principle of a differential capacitance arising from acceleration-induced motion of the sense element, which further utilizes common mode cancellation to decrease errors from process variation, temperature, and environmental stress. The sense element is hermetically sealed at the wafer level by bonding a second silicon lid wafer to the device using a glass frit. A separate ASIC device packaged with the sense element provides signal conditioning, and intelligent user-programmable application algorithms. The accelerometer is delivered in a 2 x 2 x 0.9 mm LGA plastic package 

operating from a 1.71V – 3.6V DC supply. Voltage regulators are used to maintain constant internal operating voltages over the range of input supply voltages. This results in stable operating characteristics over the range of input supply voltages. I[2] C or SPI digital protocol is used to communicate with the chip to configure and check for updates to the orientation, Directional Tap[TM] detection, Free fall detection, Pedometer and activity monitoring algorithms. 

## **Features** 

- Small footprint: 2 x 2 x 0.9 mm LGA 12-pin package (pin-to-pin compatible with KX122)

Notes: 

1. Current varies with Output Data Rate (ODR) as shown in Figure 1, types and number of enabled digital engines, and the Average Filter Control settings that can be tested using Kionix FlexSet[TM] Performance Optimization Tool found at http://www.kionix.com/flexset. 

2. For I[2] C communication, this assumes a minimum 1.5kΩ pull-up resistor on SCL and SDA pins. 

3. Start up time is from PC1 set to valid outputs. Time varies with Output Data Rate (ODR); see chart below 

4. Power up time is from VDD valid to device boot completion. 

5. User selectable through I[2] C or SPI. 

6. User selectable and dependent on ODR and RES.

It is recommended to minimize **VDDLow,** and **TVDD** , and maximize **TVDD_OFF** . It is also advised that the **VDD** ramp up time **TVDD** be monotonic. Note that the outputs will not be stable until **VDD** has reached its final value. 

_To assure proper POR, the application should be evaluated over the customer specified range of VDD, VDDLow, TVDD, TVDD_OFF and temperature as POR performance can vary depending on these parameters._ 

Please refer to Technical Note _**TN021 Power-On Procedure**_ for more information.

**± 2g / 4g / 8g Tri-axis Digital Accelerometer Specifications** 

**PART NUMBER: KX126-1063** 

**Rev. 1.0 22-Jun-17** 

## **Terminology** 

## **g** 

A unit of acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity at the earth's surface. 

**==> picture [54 x 26] intentionally omitted <==**

One thousandth of a g (0.0098 m/ s[2] ) is referred to as 1 milli-g (1 mg). 

## **Sensitivity** 

The sensitivity of an accelerometer is the change in output per unit of input acceleration at nominal VDD and temperature. The term is essentially the gain of the sensor expressed in counts per g (counts/g) or LSB’s per g (LSB/g). Occasionally, sensitivity is expressed as a resolution, i.e. milli-g per LSB (mg/LSB) or milli-g per count (mg/count). Sensitivity for a given axis is determined by measurements of the formula: _Sensitivity_   _Output_ @  1 _g_  _Output_ @  1 _g_  2 _g_ 

The sensitivity tolerance describes the range of sensitivities that can be expected from a large population of sensors at room temperature and over life. When the temperature deviates from room temperature (25ºC), the sensitivity will vary by the amount shown in Table 1. 

## **Zero-g offset** 

Zero-g offset or 0-g offset describes the actual output of the accelerometer when no acceleration is applied. Ideally, the output would always be in the middle of the dynamic range of the sensor (content of the OUTX, OUTY, OUTZ registers = 00, expressed as a 2’s complement number). However, because of mismatches in the sensor, calibration errors, and mechanical stress, the output can deviate from 00. This deviation from the ideal value is called 0-g offset. The zero-g offset tolerance describes the range of 0-g offsets of a population of sensors over the operating temperature range. 

## **Self-test** 

Self-test allows a functional test of the sensor without applying a physical acceleration to it. When activated, an electrostatic force is applied to the sensor, simulating an input acceleration. The sensor outputs respond accordingly. If the output signals change within the amplitude specified in Table 1, then the sensor is working properly and the parameters of the interface chip are within the defined specifications.

## **Functionality** 

## **Sense element** 

The sense element is fabricated using Kionix’s proprietary plasma micromachining process technology. This process technology allows Kionix to create mechanical silicon structures which are essentially massspring systems that move in the direction of the applied acceleration. Acceleration sensing is based on the principle of a differential capacitance arising from the acceleration-induced motion. Capacitive plates on the moving mass move relative to fixed capacitive plates anchored to the substrate. The sense element is hermetically sealed at the wafer level by bonding a second silicon lid wafer to the device using a glass frit. 

## **ASIC interface** 

A separate ASIC device packaged with the sense element provides all of the signal conditioning and communication with the sensor. The complete measurement chain is composed by a low-noise capacitance to voltage amplifier which converts the differential capacitance of the MEMS sensor into an analog voltage that is sent through an analog-to-digital converter. The acceleration data may be accessed through the I[2] C digital communications provided by the ASIC. In addition, the ASIC contains all of the logic to allow the user to choose data rates, g-ranges, filter settings, and interrupt logic. Plus, there are two programmable state machines which allow the user to create unique embedded functions based on changes in acceleration. 

## **Factory calibration** 

Kionix trims the offset and sensitivity of each accelerometer by adjusting gain (sensitivity) and 0-g offset trim codes stored in nonvolatile memory (OTP). Additionally, all functional register default values are also programmed into the nonvolatile memory. Every time the device is turned on or a software reset command is issued, the trimming parameters and default register values are downloaded into the volatile registers to be used during active operation. This allows the device to function without further calibration.

**PART NUMBER: KX126-1063 ± 2g / 4g / 8g Tri-axis Digital Rev. 1.0 Accelerometer Specifications 22-Jun-17** 

## **Digital Interface** 

The Kionix KX126 digital accelerometer can communicate via the I[2] C and SPI digital serial interface protocols. This allows for easy system integration by eliminating analog-to-digital converter requirements and by providing direct communication with system micro-controllers. 

The serial interface terms and descriptions as indicated in Table 5 below will be observed throughout this document. 

|**Term**<br>~~———————————~~|**Description **<br>~~———————————~~|
|---|---|
|Transmitter<br>~~———————————~~|The device that transmits data to the bus.<br>~~———————————~~|
|Receiver<br>~~———————————~~|The device that receives data from the bus.<br>~~———————————~~|
|Master<br>~~———————————~~|The device thatinitiates a transfer, generates clocksignals, and terminates a transfer.<br>~~———————————~~|
|Slave<br>~~———————————~~|The device addressed by theMaster.<br>~~———————————~~|



## **I[2] C Serial Interface** 

As previously mentioned, the KX126 can communicate on an I[2] C bus. I[2] C is primarily used for synchronous serial communication between a Master device and one or more Slave devices. The Master, typically a micro controller, provides the serial clock signal and addresses Slave devices on the bus. The KX126 always operates as a Slave device during standard Master-Slave I[2] C operation. 

I[2] C is a two-wire serial interface that contains a Serial Clock (SCL) line and a Serial Data (SDA) line. SCL is a serial clock that is provided by the Master, but can be held low by any Slave device, putting the Master into a wait condition. SDA is a bi-directional line used to transmit and receive data to and from the interface. Data is transmitted MSB (Most Significant Bit) first in 8-bit per byte format, and the number of bytes transmitted per transfer is unlimited. The I[2] C bus is considered free when both lines are high. 

The I[2] C interface is compliant with high-speed mode, fast mode and standard mode I[2] C protocols.

## **I[2] C Operation** 

Transactions on the I[2] C bus begin after the Master transmits a start condition (S), which is defined as a high-tolow transition on the data line while the SCL line is held high. The bus is considered busy after this condition. The next byte of data transmitted after the start condition contains the Slave Address (SAD) in the seven MSBs (Most Significant Bits), and the LSB (Least Significant Bit) tells whether the Master will be receiving data ‘1’ from the Slave or transmitting data ‘0’ to the Slave. When a Slave Address is sent, each device on the bus compares the seven MSBs with its internally stored address. If they match, the device considers itself addressed by the Master. The KX126 Slave Address is comprised of a user programmable part, a factory programmable part, and a fixed part, which allows for connection of multiple accelerometers to the same I[2] C bus. The Slave Address associated with the KX126 is 00111YX, where the user programmable bit X, is determined by the assignment of ADDR (pin 1) to GND or IO_VDD. Also, the factory programmable bit Y is set at the factory. **For KX126-1063, the factory programmable bit Y is fixed to 1** (contact your Kionix sales representative for list of available devices). Table 6 lists possible I[2] C addresses for KX126-1063. As a result, up to four accelerometers can be implemented on a shared I[2] C bus as shown in Figure 2 (e.g. two KX126 accelerometers and two other accelerometers with factory programmable bit Y set to 0).

**Table 6:** I[2] C Slave Addresses for KX126-1063 

It is mandatory that receiving devices acknowledge (ACK) each transaction. Therefore, the transmitter must release the SDA line during this ACK pulse. The receiver then pulls the data line low so that it remains stable low during the high period of the ACK clock pulse. A receiver that has been addressed, whether it is Master or Slave, is obliged to generate an ACK after each byte of data has been received. To conclude a transaction, the Master must transmit a stop condition (P) by transitioning the SDA line from low to high while SCL is high. The I[2] C bus is now free. Note that if the KX126 is accessed through I[2] C protocol before the startup is finished a NACK signal is sent.

## **Writing to an 8-bit Register** 

Upon power up, the Master must write to the KX126’s control registers to set its operational mode. Therefore, when writing to a control register on the I[2] C bus, as shown Sequence 1 on the following page, the following protocol must be observed: After a start condition, SAD+W transmission, and the KX126 ACK has been returned, an 8-bit Register Address (RA) command is transmitted by the Master. This command is telling the KX126 to which 8-bit register the Master will be writing the data. Since this is I[2] C mode, the MSB of the RA command should always be zero (0). The KX126 acknowledges the RA and the Master transmits the data to be stored in the 8-bit register. The KX126 acknowledges that it has received the 

data and the Master transmits a stop condition (P) to end the data transfer. The data sent to the KX126 is now stored in the appropriate register. The KX126 automatically increments the received RA commands and, therefore, multiple bytes of data can be written to sequential registers after each Slave ACK as shown in Sequence 2 on the following page. 

Note** If a STOP condition is sent on the least significant bit of write data or the following master acknowledge cycle, the last write operation is not guaranteed and it may alter the content of the affected registers 

## **Reading from an 8-bit Register** 

When reading data from a KX126 8-bit register on the I[2] C bus, as shown in Sequence 3 on the next page, the following protocol must be observed: The Master first transmits a start condition (S) and the appropriate Slave Address (SAD) with the LSB set at ‘0’ to write. The KX126 acknowledges and the Master transmits the 8-bit RA of the register it wants to read. The KX126 again acknowledges, and the Master transmits a repeated start condition (Sr). After the repeated start condition, the Master addresses the KX126 with a ‘1’ in the LSB (SAD+R) to read from the previously selected register. The Slave then acknowledges and transmits the data from the requested register. The Master does not acknowledge (NACK) it received the transmitted data, but transmits a stop condition to end the data transfer. Note that the KX126 automatically increments through its sequential registers, allowing data to be read from multiple registers following a single SAD+R command as shown below in Sequence 4 on the following page. Reading data from a buffer read register is a special case because if register address (RA) is set to buffer read register (BUF_READ) in Sequence 4, the register auto-increment feature is automatically disabled. Instead, the Read Pointer will increment to the next data in the buffer, thus allowing reading multiple bytes of data from the buffer using a single SAD+R command. 

Note** Accelerometer’s output data should be read in a single transaction using the auto-increment feature to prevent output data from being updated prior to intended completion of the read transaction.

## **HS-mode** 

To enter the 3.4MHz high speed mode of communication, the device must receive the following sequence of conditions from the master: a Start condition followed by a Master code (00001XXX) and a Master Nonacknowledge. Once recognized, the device switches to HS-mode communication. Read/write data transfers then proceed as described in the sequences above. Devices return to the FS-mode after a STOP occurrence on the bus.

## **SPI Communications** 

## **4-Wire SPI Interface** 

The KX126 also utilizes an integrated 4-Wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for digital communication. The SPI interface is primarily used for synchronous serial communication between one Master device and one or more Slave devices. The Master, typically a micro controller, provides the SPI clock signal (SCLK) and determines the state of Chip Select (nCS). The KX126 always operates as a Slave device during standard Master-Slave SPI operation. 

4-wire SPI is a synchronous serial interface that uses two control and two data lines. With respect to the Master, the Serial Clock output (SCLK), the Data Output (SDI or MOSI) and the Data Input (SDO or MISO) are shared among the Slave devices. The Master generates an independent Chip Select (nCS) for each Slave device that goes low at the start of transmission and goes back high at the end. The Slave Data Output (SDO) line, remains in a high-impedance (hi-z) state when the device is not selected, so it does not interfere with any active devices. This allows multiple Slave devices to share a master SPI port as shown in Figure 3 below.

## **4-Wire Read and Write Registers** 

The registers embedded in the KX126 accelerometer have 8-bit addresses. Upon power up, the Master must write to the accelerometer’s control registers to set its operational mode. On the falling edge of nCS, a 2-byte command is written to the appropriate control register. The first byte initiates the write to the appropriate register, and is followed by the user-defined, data byte. The MSB (Most Significant Bit) of the register address byte will indicate “0” when writing to the register and “1” when reading from the register. This operation occurs over 16 clock cycles. All commands are sent MSB first. **The host must return nCS high for at least one clock cycle before the next data request.** However, when data is being read from a buffer read register (BUF_READ), the nCS signal can remain low until the buffer is read. Figure 4 below shows the timing diagram for carrying out an 8-bit register write operation.

In order to read an 8-bit register, an 8-bit register address must be written to the accelerometer to initiate the read. The MSB of this register address byte will indicate “0” when writing to the register and “1” when reading from the register. Upon receiving the address, the accelerometer returns the 8-bit data stored in the addressed register. This operation also occurs over 16 clock cycles. All returned data is sent MSB first, and the host must return nCS high for at least one clock cycle before the next data request.

## **3-Wire SPI Interface** 

The KX126 also utilizes an integrated 3-Wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for digital communication. 3-wire SPI is a synchronous serial interface that uses two control lines and one data line. With respect to the Master, the Serial Clock output (SCLK), the Data Output/Input (SDI) are shared among the Slave devices. The Master generates an independent Chip Select (nCS) for each Slave device that goes low at the start of transmission and goes back high at the end. This allows multiple Slave devices to share a master SPI port as shown in Figure 6 below.

On the falling edge of nCS, a 2-byte command is written to the appropriate control register.

The MSB (Most Significant Bit) of the register address byte will indicate “0” when writing to the register and “1” when reading from the register. A read operation occurs over 17 clock cycles and a write operation occurs over 16 clock cycles. All commands are sent MSB first. **The host must return nCS high for at least one clock cycle before the next data request** . However, when data is being read from a buffer read register (BUF_READ), the nCS signal can remain low until the buffer is read. Figure 7 below shows the timing diagram for carrying out an 8-bit register write operation. 

NOTE** If a STOP condition is sent on the least significant bit of write data or the following master acknowledge cycle, the last write operation is not guaranteed and it would cause unexpected register write.

**Figure 7:** Timing Diagram for 8-Bit Register Write Operation 

In order to read an 8-bit register, an 8-bit register address must be written to the accelerometer to initiate the read. The MSB of this register address byte will indicate “0” when writing to the register and “1” when reading from the register. Upon receiving the address, the accelerometer returns the 8-bit data stored in the addressed register. **For 3-wire read operations, one extra clock cycle between the address byte and the data output byte is required** . Therefore, this operation occurs over 17 clock cycles.  All returned data is sent MSB first, and the host must return nCS high for at least one clock cycle before the next data request. Figure 8 shows the timing diagram for an 8-bit register read operation.

Note¹: In addition of setting PC=1, HPE in CNTL4 needs to be set high to enable high-pass data outputs Note²: Reserved registers should not be written 

Note³: When changing the contents of these registers, the PC1 bit in CNTL1 must first be set to “0”.

## **Register Descriptions** 

## **Accelerometer Outputs** 

These registers contain up to 16-bits of valid acceleration data for each axis. However, the user may choose to read only the 8 MSB thus reading an effective 8-bit resolution. When BRES = 0 in BUF_CNTL2 the 8 MSB is the only data recorded in the buffer. The data is updated every user-defined ODR period, is protected from overwrite during each read, and can be converted from digital counts to acceleration (g) per Table 12 below. The register acceleration output binary data is represented in 2’s complement format. For example, if N = 16 bits, then the Counts range is from -32768 to 32767, and if N = 8 bits, then the Counts range is from -128 to 127.

## **CNTL2** 

Control register 2. Read/write control register that primarily controls tilt position state enabling. If a tilt direction bit’s state is set to one (1), a transition into the corresponding orientation state will generate an interrupt. If it is set to zero (0), a transition into the corresponding orientation state will not generate an interrupt. Note that to properly change the value of this register, the PC1 bit in CNTL1 must first be set to “0”.

_SRST = 0 – no action_ 

_SRST = 1 – start POR / RAM reboot routine_ 

_Note for I[2] C Communication: Setting SRST = 1 will NOT result in an ACK, since the part immediately enters the RAM reboot routine. NACK may be used to confirm this command._ 

_**COTC** Command test control._ 

_COTC = 0 – no action_ 

   - _COTC = 1 – sets AA to COTR register, when the COTR register is read, COTC is cleared and STR = 55._ 

- _**LEM, RIM, DOM, UPM, FDM, FUM** these bits control the tilt axis mask._ Per Table 17, if a direction’s bit is set to one (1), tilt in that direction will generate an interrupt. If it is set to zero (0), tilt in that direction will not generate an interrupt.

Please note, that the STPWMI is a level triggered interrupt source (same as buffer's WMI). Any mechanism to clear the INS register bits will fail as long as the condition persists. If the condition persists and the STPWMI interrupt stays enabled, the level triggered interrupt will block any further interrupts from other sources from triggering the pin. In order to let other interrupt sources through, STPWMI needs to be set low once detected. STPINCI and STPOVI are momentary events that do not persist.

## **TDTC** 

This register contains counter information for the detection of a double tap event. When the Directional TapTM ODR is 400Hz or less, every count is calculated as 1/ODR delay period. When the Directional TapTM ODR is 800Hz, every count is calculated as 2/ODR delay period. When the Directional TapTM ODR is 1600Hz, every count is calculated as 4/ODR delay period. The Directional TapTM ODR is user-defined per Table 19. The TDTC counts starts at the beginning of the fist tap and it represents the minimum time separation between the first tap and the second tap in a double tap event. More specifically, the second tap event must end outside of the TDTC. The Kionix recommended default value is 0.3 seconds (0x78). Note that to properly change the value of this register, the PC1 bit in CNTL1 must first be set to “0”.

## **TTH** 

This register represents the 8-bit jerk high threshold to determine if a tap is detected. Though this is an 8-bit register, the register value is internally multiplied by two in order to set the high threshold. This multiplication results in a range of 0d to 510d with a resolution of two counts. The Performance Index (PI) is the jerk signal that is expected to be less than this threshold, but greater than the TTL threshold during single and double tap events. Note that to properly change the value of this register, the PC1 bit in CNTL1 must first be set to “0”. The Kionix recommended default value is 203 (0xCB) and the Performance Index is calculated as:

## **TTL** 

This register represents the 8-bit (0d– 255d) jerk low threshold to determine if a tap is detected. The Performance Index (PI) is the jerk signal that is expected to be greater than this threshold and less than the TTH threshold during single and double tap events. The Kionix recommended default value is 26 (0x1A). Note that to properly change the value of this register, the PC1 bit in CNTL1 must first be set to “0”.

When the Directional TapTM ODR is 400Hz or less, every count is calculated as 1/ODR delay period. When the Directional TapTM ODR is 800Hz, every count is calculated as 2/ODR delay period. When the Directional TapTM ODR is 1600Hz, every count is calculated as 4/ODR delay period. The Directional TapTM ODR is user-defined per Table 19. In order to ensure that only tap events are detected, these time limits are used. A tap event must be above the performance index threshold for at least the low limit (FTDL0 – FTDL2) and no more than the high limit (FTDH0 – FTDH4). The Kionix recommended default value for the high limit is 0.05 seconds and for the low limit is 0.005 seconds (0xA2). Note that to properly change the value of this register, the PC1 bit in CNTL1 must first be set to “0”.

When the Directional Tap[TM] ODR is 800Hz, every count is calculated as 2/ODR delay period. When the Directional Tap[TM] ODR is 1600Hz, every count is calculated as 4/ODR delay period. The Directional Tap[TM] ODR is user-defined per Table 19. In order to ensure that only tap events are detected, this time limit is used. This register sets the total amount of time that the two taps in a double tap event can be above the PI threshold (TTL). The Kionix recommended default value for STD is 0.09 seconds (0x24). Note that to properly change the value of this register, the PC1 bit in CNTL1 must first be set to “0”.

When the Directional Tap[TM] ODR is 800Hz, every count is calculated as 2/ODR delay period. When the Directional Tap[TM] ODR is 1600Hz, every count is calculated as 4/ODR delay period. The Directional Tap[TM] ODR is user-defined per Table 19. In order to ensure that only tap events are detected, this time limit is used. This register sets the total amount of time that the tap algorithm will count samples that are above the PI threshold (TTL) during a potential tap event. It is used during both single and double tap events. However, reporting of single taps on the physical interrupt pin INT1 or INT2 will occur at the end of the TWS. The Kionix recommended default value for TLT (TDT Latency Timer) is 0.1 seconds (0x28). Note that to properly change the value of this register, the PC1 bit in CNTL1 must first be set to “0”.

## **TWS** 

This register contains counter information for the detection of single and double taps. When the Directional Tap[TM] ODR is 400Hz or less, every count is calculated as 1/ODR delay period. When the Directional Tap[TM] ODR is 800Hz, every count is calculated as 2/ODR delay period. When the Directional Tap[TM] ODR is 1600Hz, every count is calculated as 4/ODR delay period. The Directional Tap[TM] ODR is user-defined per Table 19. It defines the time window for the entire tap event, single or double, to occur. Reporting of single taps on the physical interrupt pin INT1 or INT2 will occur at the end of this tap window. The Kionix recommended default value for TWS is 0.4 seconds (0xA0). Note that to properly change the value of this register, the PC1 bit in CNTL1 must first be set to “0”.

## **LP_CNTL** 

Low Power Control: The Averaging Filter Control setting can be used in the optimization of current and noise performance of the accelerometer and can be tested using Kionix FlexSet[TM] Performance Optimization Tool. More specifically, this setting determines the number of internal acceleration samples to be averaged in Low Current mode. Also, it determines the number of internal acceleration samples to be averaged for digital engines operation (Directional Tap[TM] , Tilt, Wake-Up, Back-to-Sleep, Free fall, Pedometer) both in _High Resolution_ and _Low Current_ modes. Note that to properly change the value of this register, the PC1 bit in CNTL1 must first be set to “0”.

## **Embedded Applications** 

## **Orientation Detection Feature** 

The orientation detection feature of the KX126 will report changes in face up, face down, ± vertical and ± horizontal orientation. This intelligent embedded algorithm considers very important factors that provide accurate orientation detection from low cost tri-axis accelerometers. Factors such as: hysteresis, device orientation angle and delay time are described below as these techniques are utilized inside the KX126 

## **Hysteresis** 

A 45° tilt angle threshold seems like a good choice because it is halfway between 0° and 90°. However, a problem arises when the user holds the device near 45°. Slight vibrations, noise and inherent sensor error will cause the acceleration to go above and below the threshold rapidly and randomly, so the screen will quickly flip back and forth between the 0° and the 90° orientations. This problem is avoided in the KX126 by choosing a 30° threshold angle. With a 30° threshold, the screen will not rotate from 0° to 90° until the device is tilted to 60° (30° from 90°). To rotate back to 0°, the user must tilt back to 30°, thus avoiding the screen flipping problem. This example essentially applies ± 15° of hysteresis in between the four screen rotation states. Table 24 shows the acceleration limits implemented for T =30°. 

**Orientation X Acceleration (g) Y Acceleration (g)** 0°/360° -0.5 < _ax_ < 0.5 _ay_ > 0.866 90° _ax_ > 0.866 -0.5 < _ay_ < 0.5 180° -0.5 < _ax_ < 0.5 _ay_ < -0.866 270° _ax_ < -0.866 -0.5 < _ay_ < 0.5 **Table 24:** Acceleration at the four orientations with ± 15° of hysteresis The KX126 allows the user to change the amount of hysteresis in between the four screen rotation states. By simply writing to the HYST_SET register, the user can adjust the amount of hysteresis up to ± 45°. The plot in Figure 10 shows the typical amount of hysteresis applied for a given digital count value of HYST_SET. ~~[=]~~ 36 Thornwood Dr. – Ithaca, NY 14850 © 2017 Kionix – All Rights Reserved tel: 607-257-1080 – fax:607-257-1146 www.kionix.com - info@kionix.com Page 72 of 92

## **Device Orientation Angle (aka Tilt Angle)** 

To ensure that horizontal and vertical device orientation changes are detected, even when it isn’t in the ideal vertical orientation – where the angle θ in Figure 11 is 90°, the KX126 considers device orientation angle in its algorithm. 

**Figure 11:** Device Orientation Angle 

As the angle in Figure 11 is decreased, the maximum gravitational acceleration on the X-axis or Y-axis will also decrease. Therefore, when the angle becomes small enough, the user will not be able to make the screen

orientation change. When the device orientation angle approaches 0° (device is flat on a desk or table), _ax_ = _ay_ = 0g, _az_ = +1g, and there is no way to determine which way the screen should be oriented, the internal algorithm determines that the device is in either the face-up or face-down orientation, depending on the sign of the z-axis. The KX126 will only change the screen orientation when the orientation angle is above the factorydefaulted/user-defined threshold set in the TILT_ANGLE_LL register. Equation 3 can be used to determine what value to write to the TILT_ANGLE_LL register to set the device orientation angle. The value for HL is preset at the factory but can be adjusted in special cases (e.g. to reduce the effect of transient g-variation such as when device is being moved rather than just being rotated). 

## TILT_ANGLE_LL (counts) = sin θ * (32 (counts/g)) 

## **Equation 3:** Tilt Angle Threshold 

## **Tilt Timer** 

The 8-bit register, TILT_TIMER can be used to qualify changes in orientation. The KX126 does this by incrementing a counter with a size that is specified by the value in TSC for each set of acceleration samples to verify that a change to a new orientation state is maintained. A user defined output data rate (ODR) determines the time period for each sample. Equation 4 shows how to calculate the TILT_TIMER register value for a desired delay time. 

TILT_TIMER (counts) = Delay Time (sec) x ODR (Hz) 

**Equation 4:** Tilt Position Delay Time

## **Motion Interrupt Feature Description** 

The Motion interrupt feature of the KX126 reports qualified changes in the high-pass filtered acceleration based on the Wake Up (WUFTH) threshold and Back-to-Sleep threshold (BTSTH). If the high-pass filtered acceleration on any axis is greater than the user-defined wake up threshold (WUFTH), the device has transitioned from an inactive state to an active state. On the other hand if the high-pass filtered acceleration on any axis is less than the user-defined Back to sleep threshold (BTSTH), the device has transitioned from an active state to an inactive state. Equation 5 shows how to calculate the WUFTH and BTSTH register value for a desired wake up threshold. The wake-up engine function is independent of the user selected g-range and resolution. 

WUFTH (counts) = Wake Up Threshold (g) x 256 (counts/g) BTSTH (counts) = Back to Sleep Threshold (g) x 256 (counts/g) 

## **Equation 5:** Wake-Up/Back-to-Sleep Threshold 

An 8-bit raw unsigned value represents a counter that permits the user to qualify each active/inactive state change. Note that each WUFC Timer count qualifies 1 (one) user-defined ODR period, OWUF and each BTSC Time count qualifies 1 (one) user-defined ODR period, OBTS. Equation 6 shows how to calculate the WUFC and BTSC register values for a desired wake up or back to sleep delay time. 

WUFC (counts) = Wake Up Delay Time (sec) x OWUF (Hz) BTSC (counts) = Back to Sleep Delay Time (sec) x OBTS (Hz) 

## **Equation 6:** Wake Up and Back to Sleep counts 

**Wake up function** : While the part is in inactive state, the algorithm evaluates differential measurement between each new acceleration data point with the preceding one and evaluates it against the WUFTH threshold. When the differential measurement is greater than WUFTH threshold, the wakeup counter starts the count. Differential measurements are now calculated based on the difference between the current acceleration and the acceleration when the counter started. The part will report that motion has occurred at the end of the count assuming each differential measurement has remained above the threshold. If at any moment during the count the differential measurement falls below the threshold, the counter will stop the count and the part will remain in inactive state. 

Figure 12 shows the latched response of the motion detection algorithm with WUF Timer (WUFC) set to 10 counts. Note how the difference between the acceleration sample marked in red and the one marked in green resulted in a differential measurements represented with orange bar being above the WUF threshold. At this point, the counter begins to count number of counts stored in WUFC register and the wakeup algorithm will evaluate the difference between each new acceleration measurement and the measurement marked in green that will remain a reference measurement for the duration of the counter count. At the end of the count, assuming all differential measurements were larger than WUF threshold, as is the case in the example showed in Figure 12 a motion event will be reported.

## **Directional Tap Detection Feature Description** 

The Directional Tap Detection feature of the KX126 recognizes single and double tap inputs and reports the acceleration axis and direction that each tap occurred. Eight performance parameters, as well as a userselectable ODR are used to configure the KX126 for a desired tap detection response. 

## **Performance Index** 

The Directional Tap[TM] detection algorithm uses low and high thresholds to help determine when a tap event has occurred. A tap event is detected when the previously described jerk summation exceeds the low _threshold (TTL) for more than the tap detection low limit, but less than the tap detection high limit as contained_ in FTD. Samples that exceed the high limit (TTH) will be ignored. Figure 14 shows an example of a single tap event meeting the performance index criteria.

## **Single Tap Detection** 

The latency timer (TLT) sets the time period that a tap event will only be characterized as a single tap. A second tap has to occur outside of the latency timer. If a second tap occurs inside the latency time, it will be ignored as it occurred too quickly. The single tap will be reported at the end of the TWS. Figure 15 shows a single tap event meeting the PI, latency and window requirements.

## **Double Tap Detection** 

An event can be characterized as a double tap if the second tap crosses the performance index (TTL) inside the TWS period and ends outside the TDTC. This means that the TDTC determines the minimum time separation that must exist between the two taps of a double tap event. Similar to the single tap, the first tap event must exceed the performance index for the time limit contained in FTD. Also, the duration when the first and second events combined exceed the performance index should not exceed STD. The double tap will be reported at the end of the second TLT. Figure 16 shows a double tap event meeting the PI, latency and window requirements.

## **Free fall Detect** 

The KX126 features a Free fall interrupt that sends a flag through INT1 or INT2 when the accelerometer senses a Free fall event. A Free fall event is evident when all three accelerometer axes simultaneously fall below a certain acceleration threshold for a set amount of time. The KX126 gives the user the option to define the acceleration threshold value through the FFTH 8-bit register where 256 counts cover the g range of the accelerometer. This value is compared to the top 8 bits of the accelerometer 8g output. 

Through the Free Fall Counter (FFC), the user can set the amount of time all three accelerometer axes must simultaneously remain below the FFTH acceleration threshold before the Free fall interrupt flag is sent through INT1 or INT2. This delay/debounce time is defined by the available 0 to 255 counts, which represent accelerometer samples taken at the rate defined by OFFI<2:0>. Every count is calculated as 1/ODR delay period. 

When the Free fall interrupt is enabled the part must not be in a physical state that would trigger the Free fall interrupt or the delay will not be correct for the present Free fall.

**PART NUMBER: KX126-1063 ± 2g / 4g / 8g Tri-axis Digital Rev. 1.0 Accelerometer Specifications 22-Jun-17** 

## **Sample Buffer Feature Description** 

The sample buffer feature of the KX126 accumulates and outputs acceleration data based on how it is configured. There are 4 buffer modes available, and samples can be accumulated at either low (8-bit) or high (16-bit) resolution. Acceleration data is collected at the ODR specified by OSA[3:0] in the ODCNTL register. Each buffer mode accumulates data, reports data, and interacts with status indicators in a slightly different way. 

## **FIFO Mode** 

Data Accumulation Data Reporting 

Sample collection stops when the buffer is full. Data is reported with the oldest byte of the oldest sample first (X_L or X based on resolution). 

## Status Indicators 

A watermark interrupt occurs when the number of samples in the buffer reaches the Sample Threshold. The watermark interrupt stays active until the buffer contains less than this number of samples. This can be accomplished through clearing the buffer or explicitly reading greater than SMPX samples (calculated with Equation 7). 

BUF_RES=0: SMPX = SMP_LEV[11:0] /3 – SMP_TH[9:0] 

BUF_RES=1: SMPX = SMP_LEV[11:0] /6 – SMP_TH[9:0] 

## **Equation 7:** Samples Above Sample Threshold 

## **Stream Mode** 

## Data Accumulation 

Sample collection continues when the buffer is full; older data is discarded to make room for newer data. 

Data Reporting 

Data is reported with the oldest sample first (uses FIFO read pointer). 

## Status Indicators 

A watermark interrupt occurs when the number of samples in the buffer reaches the Sample Threshold. The watermark interrupt stays active until the buffer contains less than this number of samples. This can be accomplished through clearing the buffer or explicitly reading greater than SMPX samples (calculated with ).

**22-Jun-17** 

## **Trigger Mode** 

## Data Accumulation 

When a physical interrupt is caused by one of the digital engines or when a logic high signal occurs on the TRIG pin, the trigger event is asserted and SMP_TH[9:0] samples prior to the event are retained. Sample collection continues until the buffer is full. Data Reporting Data is reported with the oldest sample first (uses FIFO read pointer). Status Indicators 

When a physical interrupt occurs and there are at least SMP_TH[9:0] samples in the buffer, BUF_TRIG in BUF_STATUS_2 is asserted. 

## **FILO Mode** 

## Data Accumulation 

Sample collection continues when the buffer is full; older data is discarded to make room for newer data. 

Data Reporting 

Data is reported with the newest byte of the newest sample first (Z_H or Z based on resolution). 

Status Indicators 

A watermark interrupt occurs when the number of samples in the buffer reaches the Sample Threshold. The watermark interrupt stays active until the buffer contains less than this number of samples. This can be accomplished through clearing the buffer or explicitly reading greater than SMPX samples (calculated with Equation 7). 

## **Buffer Operation** 

The following diagrams illustrate the operation of the buffer conceptually. Actual physical implementation has been abstracted to offer a simplified explanation of how the different buffer modes operate. Figure 19 represents a high-resolution 3-axis sample within the buffer. Figure 20 – Figure 27 represent a 10-sample version of the buffer (for simplicity), with Sample Threshold set to 8. 

Regardless of the selected mode, the buffer fills sequentially, one byte at a time. Figure 19 shows one 6-byte data sample. Note the location of the FILO read pointer versus that of the FIFO read pointer.

**Figure 22:** Additional Data Prior to Trigger Event 

After a trigger event occurs, the buffer no longer discards the oldest samples, and instead begins accumulating samples sequentially until full. The buffer then stops collecting samples, as seen in Figure 23. This results in the buffer holding SMP_TH[9:0] samples prior to the trigger event, and SMPX samples after the trigger event.
