MXR7999VW FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The design is based on heat convection and requires no
solid proof mass. This eliminates stiction, particle, and
inherent resonant frequency problems associated with
competitive devices and provides shock survivability to
greater than50,000g, leading to significantly lower failure
rates and lower loss due to handling during assembly and at
customer field application.
Due to the standard CMOS structure of the MXR7999VW,
additional circuitry can easily be incorporated into custom
versions for high volume applications. Contact MEMSIC’s
local office for more information.
The MXR7999VW is a low cost, dual axis accelerometer
built on a standard, submicron CMOS process. It measures
acceleration with a full-scale range of -2g to +2g and a
sensitivity of 1000mV/g.
The MXR7999VW provides a g-proportional rationmetric
analog output above/ below the zero-g point at 50% of the
supply voltage.
The typical noise floor is 3.5 mg. The inherent 3dB roll off
of the device is 29Hz providing immunity to and
attenuation of higher frequency vibrations present in
automotive applications.
The MXR7999VW is packaged in a hermetically sealed
LCC surface mount package (5.5 mm x 5.5 mm x 2.7 mm
height), and the package can be used for XZ sensing, its
operation temperature is -40C to +125C. It can measure
both dynamic acceleration (e.g., vibration) and static
acceleration (e.g., gravity).
