Product Description

The KX126-1063 is a tri-axis ±2g, ±4g or ±8g silicon micromachined

accelerometer with integrated Pedometer, 2048-byte buffer, orientation,

tap/double tap, activity detecting, and Free fall algorithms. The sense

element is fabricated using Kionix’s proprietary plasma micromachining

process technology. Acceleration sensing is based on the principle of a

differential capacitance arising from acceleration-induced motion of the

sense element, which further utilizes common mode cancellation to

decrease errors from process variation, temperature, and environmental

stress. The sense element is hermetically sealed at the wafer level by

bonding a second silicon lid wafer to the device using a glass frit. A

separate ASIC device packaged with the sense element provides signal

conditioning, and intelligent user-programmable application algorithms.

The accelerometer is delivered in a 2 x 2 x 0.9 mm LGA plastic package

operating from a 1.71V – 3.6V DC supply. Voltage regulators are used to maintain constant internal

operating voltages over the range of input supply voltages. This results in stable operating characteristics

over the range of input supply voltages. I

2C or SPI digital protocol is used to communicate with the chip

to configure and check for updates to the orientation, Directional TapTM detection, Free fall detection,

Pedometer and activity monitoring algorithms.
