GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MXC6235xQ is a low cost, dual axis accelerometer
fabricated on a standard, submicron CMOS process. It is a
complete sensing system with on-chip mixed signal
processing. The MXC6235xQ measures acceleration with
a full-scale range of
±1.5
g
and a sensitivity of 512counts/g
at @3.0 V at 25
°C
. It can measure both dynamic
acceleration (e.g. vibration) and static acceleration (e.g.
gravity). The MXC6235xQ design is based on heat
convection and requires no solid proof mass.
This design eliminates the stiction problems associated with
legacy technologies and provides shock survival greater
than 50,000g’s.
Information furnished by MEMSIC is believed to be accurate and reliable. However,
no responsibility is assumed by MEMSIC for its use, or for any infringements of
patents or other rights of third parties which may result from its use. No license is
granted by implication or otherwise under any patent or patent rights of MEMSIC.
Memsic’s solid state design leads to significantly lower
failure rates in customer applications and lower loss due to
handling during manufacturing and assembly processes
The MXC6235xQ provides I
2
C digital output with 400
KHz. fast mode operation.
The typical noise floor is 0.13 mg/
Hz
allowing signals
below 0.5m
g
to be resolved at 1 Hz bandwidth.
The MXC6235xQ is packaged in a hermetically sealed, low
profile LCC surface mount package (5 mm x 5 mm x 1.55
mm) and is available in operating temperature ranges of -
40°C to +105°C (MXC6235xQB) or -20°C to +105°C
(MXC6235xQP)

THEORY OF OPERATION
The MEMSIC device is a complete dual-axis acceleration
measurement system fabricated on a monolithic CMOS IC
process. The device operation is based on heat transfer by
natural convection and operates like other accelerometers
except it is a gas in the MEMSIC sensor.
A single heat source, centered in the silicon chip is
suspended across a cavity. Equally spaced
aluminum/polysilicon thermopiles (groups of
thermocouples) are located equidistantly on all four sides of
the heat source (dual axis). Under zero acceleration, a
temperature gradient is symmetrical about the heat source,
so that the temperature is the same at all four thermopiles,
causing them to output the same voltage.
Acceleration in any direction will disturb the temperature
profile, due to free convection heat transfer, causing it to be
asymmetrical. The temperature, and hence voltage output
of the four thermopiles will then be different. The
differential voltage at the thermopile outputs is directly
proportional to the acceleration. There are two identical
acceleration signal paths on the accelerometer, one to
measure acceleration in the x-axis and one to measure
acceleration in the y-axis. Please visit the MEMSIC
website at www.memsic.com for a picture/graphic
description of the free convection heat transfer principle.

VDD
– This is the supply input for the circuits and the
sensor heater in the
accelerometer
. The DC voltage should
be between 2.7 and 3.6 volts. Refer to the section on PCB
layout and fabrication suggestions for guidance on external
parts and connections recommended.
GND–
This is the ground pin for the
accelerometer
.
COM–
This pin should be connected to ground.
TEST–
Do Not Connect, factory use only.
VDD2–
This pin is the I
2
C input digital power supply, the
voltage on this pin determines the I
2
C bus logic voltage,
and is 1.8V compatible. Note: The voltage on this pin
should never go higher than the voltage on V
DD
, if VDD2
has a lower power supply voltage than V
DD
, power should
be applied to V
DD
first.
SDA–
This pin is the I
2
C serial data line, and operates in
FAST (400 KHz.) mode.
SCL–
This pin is the I
2
C serial clock line, and operates in
FAST (400 KHz.) mode.
COMPENSATION FOR THE CHANGE IN
SENSITIVITY OVER TEMPERATURE
All thermal accelerometers display the same sensitivity
change with temperature. The sensitivity change depends
on variations in heat transfer that are governed by the laws
of physics. The sensitivity change is governed by the
following equation (and shown in following figure in
°C):
S
i
x T
i2.9
= S
f
x T
f2.9
where S
i
is the sensitivity at any initial temperature T
i
, and
S
f
is the sensitivity at any other final temperature T
f
with
the temperature values in
°K.

Thermal Accelerometer Sensitivity
In gaming applications where the game or controller is
typically used in a constant temperature environment,
sensitivity might not need to be compensated in hardware
or software. Any compensation for this effect could be
done instinctively by the game player.
For applications where sensitivity changes of a few percent
are acceptable, the above equation can be approximated
with a linear function. Using a linear approximation, an
external circuit that provides a gain adjustment of –1.1%/°C
would keep the sensitivity within 10% of its room
temperature value over a 0°C to +50°C range.
For applications that demand high performance, a low cost
micro-controller can be used to implement the above
equation. A reference design using a Microchip MCU (p/n
16F873/04-SO) and MEMSIC developed firmware is
available by contacting the factory. With this reference
design, the sensitivity variation over the full temperature
range (-40°C to +105°C) can be kept below 3%. Please
visit the MEMSIC web site at
www.memsic.com
for
reference design information on circuits and programs
including look up tables for easily incorporating sensitivity
compensation.
