DESCRIPTION
The model 2265 accelerometer is a high performance and wide temperature range accelerometer intended to directly
replace piezoresistive units for existing and new applications. It uses a capacitive sensing element and an advanced
ASIC to simulate the operation of a piezoresistive bridge. It is tailored for zero to medium frequency instrumentation
applications. The anodized aluminum case is epoxy sealed and is easily mounted via two #4 (or M3) screws. Internal
regulation is provided to essentially eliminate the effects of excitation voltage variation. Unlike piezoresistive
elements, its sensitivity, bias and frequency response are insensitive to temperature changes and gradients. The
cable shield is electrically connected to the anodized aluminum case, and the power and signal wires are isolated
from the case. An optional initial calibration sheet (2265-CAL) and periodic calibration checking are also available.
OPERATION
The Model 2265 is normally operated with a source of ±5 volt excitation and produces two analog voltage outputs
which vary with acceleration as shown in the graph on the next page. The sensitive axis is perpendicular to the
bottom of the package, with positive acceleration resulting from a force pushing on the bottom of the package. The
signal outputs are fully differential about a common mode voltage of 0 volts. The output sensitivity or scale factor is
independent of changes in the excitation voltage. At zero acceleration the output differential voltage is nominally 0
volts DC; at ±full scale acceleration the output differential voltage is ±4 volts DC respectively. A single +10V supply
may be used by connecting
-Exc
to ground and
+Exc
to +10V but the average value of the
+OUT
and
-OUT
signals will
be at +5V instead of 0V and each output will swing from +3 to +7V

SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
(28 gauge wires + shield)
Power: +Exc (Red) and -Exc (Black):
+Exc (+4.5 to +6.0 VDC)
and -Exc (-4.5 to -6.0 VDC).
+Out (Green) and -Out (White):
+Out minus -Out voltage is
proportional to acceleration; +Out voltage increases and -Out
decreases with positive acceleration. At zero acceleration both
outputs are nominally equal to mid-way between the +Exc and the
-Exc values. The device experiences positive (+1g) acceleration
with its lid (part number) facing up in the Earth’s gravitational field.
Either output can be used individually or the two outputs can be
used differentially. (See output response plot below)
