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. This sensor 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. This
sensor detects four orientation positions, shake and shake direction. In addition, it provides X/Y axis ac-
celeration signals with very low 0g offset. An I
2
C interface is used to communicate with this device and
an interrupt pin (INT) is provided for shake and orientation. The device also has a power down enabled
through the I
2
C interface.

Pin Description: LCC6 Package
Pin
1
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 the read of the
STATUS register.
During normal operation, this pin should be left floating.
This is the power supply input for the DTOS. 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 on the DTOS. Since the DTOS only
operates as a slave device, this pin is always an input.
This pin is the serial data line for the I
2
C interface on the DTOS. It is an I/O pin that functions
as an input during a write to the DTOS, and an output during a read from the DTOS.
This is the ground pin for the DTOS.
