The measuring range is limited by sensitivity, offset and supply voltage rails of the device. Measuring directions in parallel to mounting plane, arrows showing positive acceleration direction Offset specified as Voffset = Vout(0 g) [ V ]. See note 12. Sensitivity specified as Vsens = {Vout(+0.5 g) - Vout(-0.5 g)}/1 [ V/g ]. See note 12. Sensitivity specified as Vsens = {Vout(+1 g) - Vout(-1 g)}/2 [V/g ]. See note 12. Offset calibration error specified as Offset_Calib_error = {Vout(0 g) – Vdd/2} / Vsens [ g ]. Offset temperature error specified as Offset Error @ temp. = {Vout @ temp. – Vout @ room temp.} / Vsens [ g ]. Sensitivity calibration error specified as Sensitivity_calibr_error = { Vsens - Vsens_nom} / Vsens_nom x 100 % [%] Vsens_nom = nominal sensitivity. Sensitivity temperature error specified as Sensitivity error @ temp = { [Vsens @ temp –Vsens @ room temp] / Vsens @ room temp x 100 % [% ]. Note 8 Note 9 Note 10 From straight line through sensitivity calibration point. The output has true DC (0 Hz) response. The ratiometric error is specified as: Note 11 Note 12 Note 13 Note 14 The cross-axis sensitivity determines how much inclination / 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. In addition, supply voltage noise couples to the output due to the ratiometric nature of the accelerometer. Factory calibration value. Power continuously connected.
