AIS2120SX
MEMS automotive acceleration sensor:
single/dual-axis with SPI interface
Datasheet - production data
Description
The AIS1120SX / AIS2120SX is a central
acceleration sensor with a single or dual-axis
sensing element and an IC interface able to
provide acceleration information to a master
control unit via an SPI protocol.
The sensing element, capable of detecting the
acceleration, is manufactured using a dedicated
process developed by ST to produce inertial
sensors and actuators in silicon.
SOIC8
The IC interface is manufactured using a BCD
process that allows a high level of integration. The
device is factory trimmed to better tune the
characteristics of the sensing element with the
acceleration information to be supplied.
Features

Applications
The differential capacitance of the sensor is
proportional to the proof mass displacement;
thus, by sensing the differential capacitance, the
position of the sensor is determined. Then, since
the mass position is known, and the position is
related to the input acceleration, the input
acceleration can be easily deduced.
The device is available in a plastic SOIC8
package and is guaranteed to operate over a
temperature range extending from -40 °C to
+105 °C.

Block diagrams and pin description
Mechanical element
A proprietary process is used to create a surface micromachined accelerometer. This
technology allows processing suspended silicon structures which are attached to the
substrate in few points called anchors and are free to move in the direction of the sensed
acceleration thanks to flexible springs. In order to be compatible with standard packaging
techniques, a cap is placed at wafer level on the top of the sensing element.
From an electrical point of view, the sensor can be represented as a differential capacitive
system (see below for a dual-axis element). When the acceleration is applied to the sensor,
the proof mass displaces from its nominal position, causing an unbalance in the capacitive
half-bridge. This unbalance is measured using charge integration in response to a voltage
pulse applied to the sense capacitor:
Figure 3. Differential capacitive system (dual axis)
The differential capacitive change towards acceleration can be expressed, in small
displacements approximation, as:
Where C0 is the at-rest capacitance, m is the inertial mass, a the acceleration, k stiffness of
the springs and g the distance between capacitor electrodes.
1.1.2
Sigma-Delta converter
A 2nd order sigma-delta modulator is used to convert the differential voltage that comes from
the charge-to-voltage converter to a pulse-density modulated (PDM) data stream. The data
stream will be further processed through on-chip digital filters.

Filter architecture
Figure 5. Filter architecture diagram
The architecture of the digital filters allows selecting 3 different cut-off frequencies based on
2 bits in the register map: FIR_BW_SEL[1:0].
The cut-off frequencies are 400 Hz, 800 Hz, and 1600 Hz. For the 1600 Hz filter, the noise
level is higher and the ENOB is 10/11 bits, and not 12 bits.
The cut-off frequency has to be selected for each axis during the initialization phase. Once
the initialization phase is finished and the end of the initialization bit is set, the cut-off
frequency is locked and any attempt to change it during normal mode will generate an SPI
error.
The cut-off frequencies can be selected as described below:
FIR_BW_SEL[1:0]:
= "00" FIR with F3DB = 400 Hz is selected (default);
= "01" FIR with F3DB = 800 Hz is selected;
= "10" FIR with F3DB = 1600 Hz is selected (ENOB is 10/11bits in this mode);
= "11" FIR with F3DB = 400 Hz is selected.

Decimation filter
Differential delay: D=1
Number of sections: N=3
Decimation factor:
–
M = 32 if FIR_BW_SEL[1:0] = "00" (400 Hz)
–
M = 16 if FIR_BW_SEL[1:0] = "01" (800 Hz)
–
M = 8 if FIR_BW_SEL[1:0] = "10" (1600 Hz)

Low-pass filter
H_LPF (Z) is a FIR digital filter with 26 coefficients (K = 25):
Figure 6 and Figure 7 shows the comparison between the FIR filter and an analog Bessel
filter when the cut-off frequency is 400 Hz.

Signal compensation
On-chip EEPROM bits are used to compensate sensitivity error and offset error.
1.1.7
Linear interpolation
The device features an L-to-1 linear data interpolation computed from the present and the
previous samples. L depends on the cut-off frequency selected:
Interpolation factor:
–
L = 16 if FIR_BW_SEL[1:0] = "00" or “11”
–
L = 8 if FIR_BW_SEL[1:0] = "01"
–
L = 4 if FIR_BW_SEL[1:0] = "10"
The data interpolation helps reduce sample jitter. The digital result will have a latency of one
sample time before being sent to the SPI bus.
The maximum jitter will be 62.5 s/16 = 3.9 s.
Figure 8 shows an interpolation example.

Offset cancellation
The offset cancellation is performed in the last step of the digital signal processing and
includes two modes:
1. Slow offset cancellation
2. Fast offset cancellation
The digital low-pass filter with selectable bandwidth (fast, slow cancellation) is controlled by
a state machine. Fast offset cancellation is used after power-on. Slow offset cancellation, for
continuously running offset cancellation, operates in normal mode.
Offset cancellation uses a moving average filter with a fixed update limit. Fast offset
cancellation occurs after power up while EOI = 0. Slow offset cancellation occurs after EOI
is set to 1.
The Offset Cancellation Error Flag is set when the offset is outside the offset correction
range (±1020 LSB) during slow offset cancellation. A hardware error is indicated based on
this flag being set for the affected axis. The flow chart for the offset cancellation block is
shown in the following figure.

Phase1 (T1): Power-up timing
The power domain block diagram is shown in section 1.1.11. Power-up timing and sequence
are shown in Figure 18. Once VDD has ramped up, VPRE follows that. After VPRE reaches
a threshold value, internal signal nPOR_VPRE is asserted. The signal resets the EEPROM
registers. Therefore, EEPROM settings are ready for bandgap and regulator output
(VREG). Then, another POR circuit will monitor the output VREG. If it reaches a target
threshold, nPOR will be asserted. nPOR is used to reset all the registers of the main digital
core.
The device waits for regulator and bandgap to be at appropriate levels (regulator >2.6 V,
bandgap >1.1 V) before it starts executing its state machine (starting with EEPROM
download). The device starts its state machine approximately 5 μs (deglitch time) after the
bandgap and regulator reach their threshold levels.
Figure 18. Power-up timing
Table 30 shows the typical timing delay for each block:

Phase2 (T2): configuration
Once nPOR is asserted, the device will initialize the registers to the default settings and
start ASIC diagnostic procedure. If an error is detected, the corresponding error bit will be
set in DEVSTAT register. This phase is characterized by (ST1:ST0 = "00").
Figure 19. Phase 2 state flow
The diagnostic procedure in this stage includes cap-loss detection, charge pump check for
self-test, and VREG/VCC low-voltage monitoring. Cap-loss mode is initiated after EEPROM
download where the regulator is disabled 1 μs. Without a load cap the regulator voltage
would fall below the UV threshold and the device latches it as cap-loss flag.

Phase 3 (T3): fast offset cancellation
After the configuration/initialization phase (t2), the device will start fast offset cancellation
which takes max. 345 ms. Also there is 6 ms window for self-test calibration. During phase 3
(t3), sensor data is still available through the SPI but the ND flag (see Section 5.1.1:
Acceleration commands) will be used and ST1:ST0 is still kept "00" if no error occurs until
phase T4.
Figure 21. Phase 3 state flow
3.5
Phase 4 (T4): test phase
After phase 3 the device is still in the programming phase. Offset is close to 0. This phase is
characterized by (ST1:ST0 = "10"). The device can be programmed to execute the active
self-test. The actuation of transducer will be controlled through SPI command.
The active self-test applies an electrostatic force to the mechanical sensor. When the selftest mode is activated, the voltage between the rotor and stator is changed. This generates
an attractive electrostatic force and causes the rotor to move towards the stator. The
displacement of the rotor will be measured at the output of the ADC.
Note:
For the 2-axis version the self-test has to be executed sequentially.
When starting channel X self-test:
a) Channel X acceleration command will read channel X self-test value
b) Channel Y acceleration command will read temperature sensor value for self-test
temperature compensation algorithm.
When starting channel Y self-test:
a) Channel X acceleration command will read temperature sensor value for self-test
temperature compensation algorithm.
b) Channel Y acceleration command will read channel Y self-test value
The acceleration data is given in 14-bit format (bit 25-12 of SDO data frame). Its MSB (D13)
represents the sign bit and the negative value is in two's complementary format.

When configured/read as a temperature sensor value, the 14-bit output is unsigned data. Its

Factory calibration
The IC interface is factory calibrated for sensitivity (S0) and Zero-g level (Off_Raw).
The trimming values are stored inside the device in a non-volatile structure. When the
device is turned on, the trimming parameters are downloaded into the registers to be
employed during normal operation which allows the device to be used without further calibration.

AIS1120SX / AIS2120SX
Interface description
The AIS1120SX / AIS2120SX provides a bi-directional 3.3 V SPI interface for
communication with the MCU at a 32-bit data word size. Each transfer consists of two
frames of 32 clocks per frame.
The sensor always operates in slave mode whereas the MCU provides the master function.
The interface consists of 4 ports as shown below.
Figure 22. SPI
Serial clock (SCK): input for master clock signal. This clock determines the speed of data
transfer and all receiving and sending is done synchronous to this clock.
Chip Select (CS): CS activates the SPI interface. As long as CS is high, the IC does not
accept the clock signal or data and the output SDO is in high impedance. Whenever CS is in
a low logic state, data can be transferred from and to the microcontroller.
Serial Input (SDI): accelerometer data in is latched by the rising edge of SCL (see
Figure 23: SPI timings).
Serial Output (SDO): accelerometer data out is set by the falling edge of SCL (see
Figure 23: SPI timings).
5.1
32-bit communication protocol
The communication between slave and master is transmitted by 32-bit data word, MSB first.
An off-frame protocol is used meaning that each transfer is completed through a sequence
of 2 phases.
The answer of a given request is sent within the very next frame.
The acceleration data for the x-axis, y-axis channel will be frozen at the rising edge of CS of
the Request and submitted during the Response (see Figure 23).
42/58
DocID028312 Rev 4
AIS1120SX / AIS2120SX
Interface description
Figure 23. SPI timings
CS is the Chip Select and it is controlled by the SPI master. It goes low at the start of the
transmission and goes back high at the end of a phase. SCL is the Serial port Clock and it is
controlled by the SPI master. It is stopped high when CS is high (no transmission). SDI is
Serial Data Input and SDO is Serial Data Output. SDI is captured at the rising edge of SCL
and SDO is driven at the falling edge of SCL.
The SPI instructions used can be subdivided into two classes, acceleration and nonacceleration commands.
5.1.1
Acceleration commands
These commands are used to request sensor data for channel X or Y. The acceleration data
is given in 14-bit format (bit 25-12 of SDO data frame). The MSB (D13) represents the sign
bit and the negative value is in two's complementary format.
The following table shows a few examples of full range and 0 g offset:

CRC error bits for SDO
Error codes are to be interpreted as follows:
EEPROM Error (EE): any error related to internal EEPROM e.g. mismatch of internal CRC.
SPI Error (SE): any violation of SPI format e.g. incorrect number of clocks during the frame,
or parity mismatch of SDI, or CRC mismatch of SDI.
Request Error (RE): set when unexpected or invalid command is received by sensor,
locked registers are read or written during any undefined state of sensor.
Condition Not Correct (CNC): set when data for undefined channel (for single axis
sensor), CH3 or CH4 are requested.
No Data available (ND): set when data is requested during power-up sequence (caploss/charge pump/fast offset cancel).
X channel Hardware Error (X_HE): Set when there is cap-loss error, charge pump error,
VDD_low, VREG_low or X offset cancel saturate (after EOI) occurs.
Y channel Hardware Error (Y_HE): Set when there is cap loss error, charge pump error,
VDD_low, VREG_low or Y offset cancel saturate (after EOI) occurs.
Test mode (TE): Set when the part is in test mode.

Notes:
1.Once the device finishes fast offset cancellation (and self-test calibration), it automatically
enters into the programming phase (ST1:ST0 status "10") until the EOI command has been
sent. During this phase, if there is not any self-test initialization command from SPI, 0 g in
self-test phase on both channels could be read from the acceleration commands.
2.When starting channel X self-test:
a.Channel X acceleration command will read channel X self-test value
b.Channel Y acceleration command will read temperature sensor value for self-test
temperature compensation algorithm.
3.When starting channel Y self-test:
c.Channel X acceleration command will read temperature sensor value for self-test
temperature compensation algorithm.
d.Channel Y acceleration command will read channel Y self-test value

SPI CRC polynomial
To check the integrity of the sensor signals (SO) and commands (SI) to the sensor, an 8-bit
CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check, Baicheva C2) is used.
The applied polynomial is: X8+X5+X3+X2+X+1 = 0x97
with:
HD = 4 for 32-bit data

It's recommended to power up VDD first, then provide SPI logic signals. This is
recommended to avoid the potential of powering the device via the SPI pins when VDD
is not in the specified operating range.
Recommended VDD ramp rate > 1 V/ms
It is recommended that all flags be reconfirmed with soft POR after power-up.
