This rugged module combines an integrated model 1221L accelerometer with high drive, low impedance buffering for measuring acceleration in commercial/industrial environments. It is tailored for zero to medium frequency instrumentation applications. The anodized aluminum case is epoxy sealed and is easily mounted via two #4 (or M3) screws. On-board regulation is provided to minimize the effects of supply voltage variation. It is relatively insensitive to temperature changes and gradients. The cable’s shield is electrically connected to the case while the ground (GND) wire is isolated from the case. An initial calibration sheet (2220-CAL) is included and periodic calibration checking is available. OPERATION The Model 2220 accelerometer module produces two analog voltage outputs which vary with acceleration as shown in the graph on the next page. The sensitive axis is perpendicular to the bottom of the package, with positive acceleration defined as a force pushing on the bottom of the package. The signal outputs are fully differential about a common mode voltage of approximately 2.5 volts. The output scale factor is independent from the supply voltage of +9 to +32 volts. At zero acceleration the output differential voltage is nominally 0 volts DC; at ±full scale acceleration the output differential voltage is ±4 volts DC respectively. APPLICATIONS ! FLIGHT TESTS !

Power (+9 to +32 Volts DC) and ground. AOP and AON (Output): Green and White wires respectively. Analog output voltages proportional to acceleration; AOP voltage increases (AON decreases) with positive acceleration. At zero acceleration both outputs are nominally equal to 2.5 volts. The device experiences positive (+1g) acceleration with its lid facing up in the Earth’s gravitational field. Either output can be used individually or the two outputs can be used differentially.

The shield jacket is Teflon FEP with a nominal outer diameter of 0.096”. Cable lengths of up to 15 meters (50 feet) can be added to the model 2220's standard 1 meter cable without the need to test for output instability. For lengths longer than 15 meters we recommend you check each individual installation for oscillation by tapping the accelerometer and watching the differential output for oscillation in the 20kHz to 50kHz region. If no oscillation is present then the cable length being used is OK. From the standpoint of output current drive and slew rate limitations, the model 2220 is capable of driving over 600 meters (2000 feet) of its cable type but at some length between 15 and 600 meters, each device will likely begin to exhibit oscillation. CONVERTING THE 2220's DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT TO SINGLE ENDED C1 = C2 (See below for value calculation) R1, R2, R3 & R4 = 20k to 50k R1 = R3 to within 0.1% for good common mode rejection R2 = R4 to within 0.1% for good common mode rejection R2 / R1 ratio accurate to within 0.1% for gain control R4 / R3 ratio accurate to within 0.1% for gain control To achieve the highest resolution and lowest noise performance from your model 2220 accelerometer module, it should be connected to your voltage measurement instrument in a differential configuration using both the AOP and AON output signals. If your measurement instrument lacks differential input capability or you desire to use a differential input capable instrument in single ended mode, then the circuit above can be used to preserve the low noise performance of the model 2220 while using a single ended type connection. This circuit converts the ± 4 Volt differential output of the model 2220 accelerometer, centered at +2.5 Volts, to a single ended output centered about ground (0.0 Volts). It provides the advantage of low common mode noise by preventing the accelerometer’s ground current from causing an error in the voltage reading. The op-amp should be located as close as possible to your voltage monitoring equipment so that the majority of the signal path is differential. Any noise present along the differential path will affect both wires to the same degree and the op-amp will reject this noise because it is a common mode signal. The op-amp type is not critical; a µA741 or ¼ of a LM124 can be used. Both plus and minus supplies are needed for the op-amp to accommodate the positive and negative swings of the single ended output. For this design, always set R1 = R3, R2 = R4 and C1 = C2. The gain of the circuit is then determined by the ratio R2/R1. When R1 = R2 = R3 = R4, the gain equals 1 and the output swing will be ± 4 Volts single ended with respect to ground. To obtain a ± 5 Volt single ended output, set R2/R1 = R4/R3 = 5/4 = 1.25. The single ended output of the op-amp will be centered at ground if R2 and C1 are tied to ground; using some other fixed voltage for this reference will shift the output. The value of the optional capacitors C1 and C2 (C1 = C2) can be selected to roll off the frequency response to the frequency range of interest. The cutoff frequency f0 (-3 dB frequency) for this single order low pass filter is given by: f0 = SPECIFICATIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE 1 2π R2 C1 Silicon Designs, Inc. ! 1445-NW Mall Street, Issaquah, WA 98027-5344 !
