## **2.2. Voltage to acceleration conversion** 

Analog output can be transferred to acceleration using the following equation for conversion: 

**==> picture [162 x 32] intentionally omitted <==**

where: Vout(0g) = nominal output of the device at 0g position with 5 V supply voltage (ratiometric output), Sensitivity is the sensitivity of the device and Vout is the output of the sensor. 

## **2.3. Ratiometric Output** 

Ratiometric output means that the zero offset point and sensitivity of the sensor are proportional to the supply voltage. If the SCA6X0 supply voltage is fluctuating the SCA6X0 output will also vary. When the same reference voltage for both the SCA6X0 sensor and the measuring part (A/Dconverter) is used, the error caused by reference voltage variation is automatically compensated for. 

## **2.4. Selftest and failure detection modes** 

To ensure reliable measurement results the SCA6X0 has continuous interconnection failure and calibration memory validity detection. A detected failure forces the output signal close to power supply ground or VDD level, outside the normal output range. 

The calibration memory validity is verified by continuously running parity check for the control register memory content. In the case where a parity error is detected, the control register is automatically re-loaded from the EEPROM. If a new parity error is detected after re-loading data analog output voltage is forced to go close to ground level (<0.25 V). 

The SCA6X0 also includes a separate self test mode. The true self test simulates acceleration, or deceleration, using an electrostatic force. The electrostatic force simulates acceleration that is high enough to deflect the proof mass to the extreme positive position, and this causes the output signal to go to the maximum value. The self test function is activated by a separate on-off command on the self test input.

Doc. nr. 82 1580 00 

SCA610-E28H1A 

The self-test generates an electrostatic force, deflecting the sensing element’s proof mass, thus checking the complete signal path. The true self test performs following checks: 

- Sensing element movement check 

- ASIC signal path check 

- PCB signal path check 

- Micro controller A/D and signal path check 

The created deflection can be seen in analogue output. Self test can be activated applying logic”1” (positive supply voltage level) to ST pin (pins 6) of SCA6X0. The self test Input high voltage level is 4 – Vdd+0.3 V and input low voltage level is 0.3 – 1 V.

## **4. Application information** 

The SCA6X0 should be powered from a well regulated 5 V DC power supply. Coupling of digital noise to the power supply line should be minimized. 100nF filtering capacitor between VDD pin 8 and GND plane must be used. If regulator is placed far from component for example other PCB it is recommend adding more capacitance between VDD and GND to ensure current drive capability of the system. For example 470 pF and 1uF capacitor can be used. 

The SCA6X0 has a ratiometric output. To get the best performance use the same reference voltage for both the SCA6X0 and Analog/Digital converter. 

Locate the 100nF power supply filtering capacitor close to VDD pin 8. Use as short a trace length as possible. Connect the other end of capacitor directly to the ground plane. Connect the GND pin 4 to underlying ground plane. Use as wide ground and power supply planes as possible. Avoid narrow power supply or GND connection strips on PCB. 

## **4.1. Recommended PCB lay-out** 

**Figure 9.** Recommended PCB lay-out [mm]. 

## **Notes:** 

- It is important that the part is parallel to the PCB plane and that there is no angular alignment error from intended measuring direction during assembly process. 

- 1° mounting alignment error will increase the cross-axis sensitivity by 1.7% 

- 1° mounting alignment error will change the output by 17 mg 

- Wave soldering is not recommended 

- Ultrasonic cleaning is not allowed 

- A supply voltage by-pass capacitor (> 100 nF) is recommended

## **Notes:** 

- Preheating time and temperatures according to guidance from solder paste manufacturer. 

- It is important that the part is parallel to the PCB plane and that there is no angular alignment error from intended measuring direction during assembly process.

The Moisture Sensitivity Level of the part is 3 according to the IPC/JEDEC J-STD020B. The part should be delivered in a dry pack. The manufacturing floor time (out of bag) in the customer’s end is 168 hours. Maximum soldering temperature is 250 °C/40 sec. 

Rework after the initial soldering process is not recommended. Rework can cause heat build-up to the leg and this heat build-up will cause the housing material to get soft thus allowing the leg to move. The movement can cause bond wire disconnection inside the part.
