Product Description
The KXR94-2050 is a tri-axis, silicon micromachined accelerometer with a full-scale output range of
±2g (19.6m/s
2
). 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 self-test. The accelerometer is delivered in a 5 x 5 x 1.2 mm DFN plastic package
operating from a 2.5 – 5.25V DC supply.
The three outputs (X, Y, Z) are provided on three
analog
output pins. The KXR94 also features an
integrated
4-channel multiplexer
(X, Y, Z, Aux In). The Enable pin must be
high
for normal
operation and
low
for power shutdown.
