Note 10
The cross-axis sensitivity determines how much acceleration, perpendicular to the measuring
axis, couples to the output. The total crossaxis sensitivity is the geometric sum of the
sensitivities of the two axis which are perpendicular to the measuring axis. The angular
alignment error between channels 1 and 2 is included into the cross axis error.
Typical figure. In addition, supply voltage noise couples to the output due to the
ratiometric nature of the accelerometer.
