Product Description
N
ot
R
The KXCJ9 is a tri-axis +/-2g, +/-4g or +/-8g silicon
micromachined accelerometer. 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 digital
communications. The accelerometer is delivered in a 3 x
3 x 0.9 mm LGA plastic package operating from a 1.8 –
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 and virtually undetectable ratiometric error.
The I2C digital protocol is used to communicate with the chip to configure the part and monitor
outputs.

KXCJ9 Digital Interface
The Kionix KXCJ9 digital accelerometer has the ability to communicate on the I2C digital serial interface bus.
This allows for easy system integration by eliminating analog-to-digital converter requirements and by
providing direct communication with system micro-controllers.
The serial interface terms and descriptions as indicated in Table 8 below will be observed throughout this
document.
Term
Transmitter
Receiver
Master
Slave
Description
The device that transmits data to the bus.
The device that receives data from the bus.
The device that initiates a transfer, generates clock signals, and terminates a transfer.
The device addressed by the Master.
Table 8. Serial Interface Terminologies
I2C Serial Interface
As previously mentioned, the KXCJ9 has the ability to communicate on an I2C bus. I2C is primarily used for
synchronous serial communication between a Master device and one or more Slave devices. The Master,
typically a micro controller, provides the serial clock signal and addresses Slave devices on the bus. The
KXCJ9 always operates as a Slave device during standard Master-Slave I2C operation.
N
ot
R
I2C is a two-wire serial interface that contains a Serial Clock (SCL) line and a Serial Data (SDA) line. SCL is a
serial clock that is provided by the Master, but can be held low by any Slave device, putting the Master into a
wait condition. SDA is a bi-directional line used to transmit and receive data to and from the interface. Data is
transmitted MSB (Most Significant Bit) first in 8-bit per byte format, and the number of bytes transmitted per
transfer is unlimited. The I2C bus is considered free when both lines are high. The I2C interface is compliant
with high-speed mode, fast mode and standard mode I2C standards.

I2C Operation
N

Transactions on the I2C bus begin after the Master transmits a start condition (S), which is defined as a highto-low transition on the data line while the SCL line is held high. The bus is considered busy after this
condition. The next byte of data transmitted after the start condition contains the Slave Address (SAD) in the
seven MSBs (Most Significant Bits), and the LSB (Least Significant Bit) tells whether the Master will be
receiving data ‘1’ from the Slave or transmitting data ‘0’ to the Slave. When a Slave Address is sent, each
device on the bus compares the seven MSBs with its internally stored address. If they match, the device
considers itself addressed by the Master. The KXCJ9’s Slave Address is comprised of a programmable part
and a fixed part, which allows for connection of multiple KXCJ9's to the same I2C bus. The Slave Address
associated with the KXCJ9 is 000111X, where the programmable bit, X, is determined by the assignment of
ADDR (pin 8) to GND or IO_Vdd. Figure 1 above shows how two KXCJ9's would be implemented on an I2C
bus.
It is mandatory that receiving devices acknowledge (ACK) each transaction. Therefore, the transmitter must
release the SDA line during this ACK pulse. The receiver then pulls the data line low so that it remains stable
low during the high period of the ACK clock pulse. A receiver that has been addressed, whether it is Master or
Slave, is obliged to generate an ACK after each byte of data has been received. To conclude a transaction,

Writing to a KXCJ9 8-bit Register
Upon power up, the Master must write to the KXCJ9’s control registers to set its operational mode. Therefore,
when writing to a control register on the I2C bus, as shown Sequence 1 on the following page, the following
protocol must be observed: After a start condition, SAD+W transmission, and the KXCJ9 ACK has been
returned, an 8-bit Register Address (RA) command is transmitted by the Master. This command is telling the
KXCJ9 to which 8-bit register the Master will be writing the data. Since this is I 2C mode, the MSB of the RA
command should always be zero (0). The KXCJ9 acknowledges the RA and the Master transmits the data to
be stored in the 8-bit register. The KXCJ9 acknowledges that it has received the data and the Master
transmits a stop condition (P) to end the data transfer. The data sent to the KXCJ9 is now stored in the
appropriate register. The KXCJ9 automatically increments the received RA commands and, therefore,
multiple bytes of data can be written to sequential registers after each Slave ACK as shown in Sequence 2 on
the following page.
Reading from a KXCJ9 8-bit Register
R
When reading data from a KXCJ9 8-bit register on the I2C bus, as shown in Sequence 3 on the next page, the
following protocol must be observed: The Master first transmits a start condition (S) and the appropriate Slave
Address (SAD) with the LSB set at ‘0’ to write. The KXCJ9 acknowledges and the Master transmits the 8-bit
RA of the register it wants to read. The KXCJ9 again acknowledges, and the Master transmits a repeated
start condition (Sr). After the repeated start condition, the Master addresses the KXCJ9 with a ‘1’ in the LSB
(SAD+R) to read from the previously selected register. The Slave then acknowledges and transmits the data
from the requested register. The Master does not acknowledge (NACK) it received the transmitted data, but
transmits a stop condition to end the data transfer. Note that the KXCJ9 automatically increments through its
sequential registers, allowing data to be read from multiple registers following a single SAD+R command as
shown below in Sequence 4 on the following page. The 8-bit register data is transmitted using a left-most
format, first bit shifted/clocked out being the MSB bit.
N
ot
If a receiver cannot transmit or receive another complete byte of data until it has performed some other
function, it can hold SCL low to force the transmitter into a wait state. Data transfer only continues when the
receiver is ready for another byte and releases SCL.

KXCJ9 Register Descriptions
Accelerometer Outputs
These registers contain up to 12-bits of valid acceleration data for each axis depending on the setting
of the RES bit in CTRL_REG1, where the acceleration outputs are represented in 12-bit valid data
when RES = ‘1’ and 8-bit valid data when RES = ‘0’. The data is updated every user-defined ODR
period, is protected from overwrite during each read, and can be converted from digital counts to
acceleration (g) per Table 11 below. The register acceleration output binary data is represented in 2’s
complement format. For example, if N = 12 bits, then the Counts range is from -2048 to 2047, and if N
= 8 bits, then the Counts range is from -128 to 127.

Interrupt Source Registers
These two registers report interrupt state changes. This data is updated when a new interrupt event
occurs and each application’s result is latched until the interrupt release register is read. The
programmable interrupt engine can be configured to report data in an unlatched manner via the
interrupt control registers.

change the value of this register, the PC1 bit in CTRL_REG1 must first be set to “0”.

KXCJ9 Embedded Wake Up Function
The KXCJ9 contains an interrupt engine that can be configured by the user to report when qualified changes in
acceleration occur. The user has the option to enable or disable specific axes and specific directions, as well
as to specify the delay time. An example use case for the engine would be to detect motion on any axis to
signal an event and wake up the accelerometer or other devices. This can be achieved by configuring the
engine to detect when the acceleration on any axis is greater than the user-defined threshold for a userdefined amount of time. Equations 1 and 2 show how to calculate the engine threshold
(WAKEUP_THRESHOLD) and delay time (WAKEUP_TIMER) register values for the desired result.
WAKEUP_THRESHOLD (counts) = Desired Threshold (g) x 16 (counts/g)
Equation 1. Wake Up Threshold
WAKEUP_TIMER (counts) = Desired Delay Time (sec) x OWUF (Hz)

The KXCJ9-1008 wake-up function is always latched. However, if the INT_CTROL_REG1 is set with IEL = 1,
then upon a wake-up event the WUF interrupt signal will pulse and return low, but only once. The WUF
interrupt output will not reset until a read of the INT_REL latch reset register.
