DESCRIPTION
The Model 3140 is a high performance accelerometer intended
for instrumentation applications. The 3140 provides a fully sig-
nal conditioned output with performance similar to traditional
instrumentation accelerometers but at a much lower cost.
The accelerometer consists of a silicon micro machined
accelerometer with signal conditioning electronics in a light-
weight Valox™ housing that can be easily attached to a mount-
ing surface.
The sensing element is a micro machined silicon mass sus-
pended by multiple beams from a silicon frame. Piezoresistors
located in the beams change their resistance as the motion of the
suspended mass changes the strain in the beams. Silicon caps on
the top and bottom of the device are added to provide over-
range stops. This design provides for a very low profile, high

A lower cost version of the 3140 is available for applica-
tions that do not require the temperature performance offered
with the 3140. Please refer to the Model 3145 for additional
information.

Notes
1. The output voltage increases from the Zero Acceleration Output for
positive acceleration and decreases for negative acceleration. The
sensitivity is then 2V/Range. For example, the ±5g range has a
sensitivity of 2V/5g or 400mV/g.

Actual test data for this parameter is included on the calibration sheet
provided with each sensor.
Includes repeatability, hysteresis, and linearity (best fit straight line).
Compensated temperature range: -20°C to +85°C in reference to 25°C.
Pin 2 provides an optional 2.5V reference which may be used, if desired,
to provide a stable zero-g reference. Thus, the full scale differential
output between Pin 2 and Pin 4 would be ± 2 VDC. If a single ended

output signal is preferred (0.5-4.5 VDC), make no connection to Pin 2.
To avoid damage to the internal voltage regulator, do not connect Pin 2
to Pin 1 (gnd). Minimum load resistance connected to Pin 2 without
affecting output is 100 k

10 Hz to 1 kHz.
To use an alternate electrical connector, refer to the following color code
for proper electrical connections: Pin 1 - Green; Pin 2 - Yellow;
Pin 3 - Red; Pin 4 - Blue; Pin 5 - Shield. Note: Removing the connector
voids the product warranty.
The useful frequency range is defined as the range of frequencies over
which the device sensitivity is within ±5% of the DC value.
