General Description
The MEMSIC Digital Thermal Orientation Sensor (DTOS) is the world's first
fully-integrated orientation sensor. Its operation is based on our patented
MEMS-thermal technology and is built using a standard 0.18um CMOS process.
DTOS contains no moving parts (such as a ball) and thus eliminates field-reliability
and repeatability issues associated with competitive products. It also eliminates the
"click" sounds typically heard in ball based orientation sensors. Shock survival is
greater than 50,000g.
DTOS detects four orientations, shake and shake direction.
2
In addition, it provides X/Y axis acceleration signals with very low 0g offset. An I C
interface is used to communicate with this device and an interrupt pin (INT) is
provided for shake and orientation.

The DTOS is packaged in a hermetically sealed 6-pin surface mount package (3 mm
x 3 mm x 1mm); the product is RoHS compatible and operates over -20~70℃
temperature range.

Name
INT
Description
This pin is the DTOS interrupt output. The logic level on this pin reflects the state of the INT bit in the
STATUS register. INT is set when the orientation differs from the last orientation read by the processor, or
a shake event is detected. INT is cleared upon reading of the STATUS register.

During normal operation, this pin must be left floating.
This is the power supply input. The DC voltage should be between 2.5 and 5.5 volts.
This pin is the serial clock line for the I
2
C interface. Since the DTOS only operates as a slave device, this
pin is always an input.

Note:
R1 and R2 are pull-up resistors, the value can be
determined by customer according to the requirement of
the host device, and the recommendation value is
2.7KOhm.
INT does not need any pull-up/pull-down resistor
If INT is not used, keep it disconnected (don't pull up or
pull down)
Leave NC pin as no connection.
