The Model 1221 is a low-cost, integrated accelerometer for use in zero to medium frequency instrumentation
applications that require extremely low noise. The 2g version is ideally suited for seismic applications. Each
miniature, hermetically sealed package combines a micro-machined capacitive sense element and a custom
integrated circuit that includes a sense amplifier and differential output stage. It is relativelyinsensitive to temperature
changes and thermal gradients. Each device is marked with a serial number on its bottom surface for traceability.
An optional calibration test sheet (
) is also available which lists the measured bias, scale factor, linearity, operating
1221-TST
current and frequency response.

The Model 1221 produces two analog output voltages which varywith acceleration as shown in the figure below. The
outputs can be used either in differential or single ended mode referenced to +2.5 volts. Two reference voltages, +5.0
and +2.5 volts (nominal), are required; the output scale factor is ratiometric to the +5 volt reference voltage, and both
outputs at zero acceleration are equal to the +2.5 volt reference. The sensitive axis is perpendicular to the bottom
of the package, with positive acceleration defined as
a force pushing on the bottom of the package.
