GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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 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 25C. 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.
The MXC6235xQ provides I2C digital output with 400
KHz. fast mode operation.
Hz
The typical noise floor is 0.13 mg/
allowing signals
below 0.5mg 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
This design eliminates the stiction problems associated with
legacy technologies and provides shock survival greater
than 50,000g’s.
