± 2g / 4g / 8g Tri-axis Digital
Accelerometer Specifications
PART NUMBER:
KX023-1025
Rev. 12.0
5-Apr-16
Product Description
The KX023 is a tri-axis ±2g, ±4g or ±8g silicon micromachined
accelerometer with integrated 256 byte buffer, orientation, tap/double
tap, and activity detecting 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 3 x 3 x 0.9 mm LGA plastic package
operating from a 1.71 – 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. I2C or SPI digital protocol is used to communicate with the chip to configure and
check for updates to the orientation, Directional TapTM detection and activity monitoring algorithms.

Power-On Procedure
Proper functioning of power-on reset (POR) is dependent on the specific VDD, VDDLow, TVDD (rise
time), and TVDD_Off profile of individual applications. It is recommended to minimize VDDLow, and TVDD,
and maximize TVDD_Off. It is also advised that the VDD ramp up time TVDD be monotonic. Note that the
outputs will not be stable until VDD has reached its final value.
To assure proper POR, the application should be evaluated over the customer specified range of
VDD, VDDLow, TVDD, TVDD_Off and temperature as POR performance can vary depending on these
parameters.

Accelerometer Specifications
Terminology
g
A unit of acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity at the earth's surface.
m
1g 9.8 2
s
One thousandth of a g (0.0098 m/ s2) is referred to as 1 milli-g (1 mg).
Sensitivity
The sensitivity of an accelerometer is the change in output per unit of input acceleration at nominal
VDD and temperature. The term is essentially the gain of the sensor expressed in counts per g
(counts/g) or LSB’s per g (LSB/g). Occasionally, sensitivity is expressed as a resolution, i.e. milli-g per
LSB (mg/LSB) or milli-g per count (mg/count). Sensitivity for a given axis is determined by
measurements of the formula:
Sensitivit y
Output @ 1g Output @ 1g
2g
The sensitivity tolerance describes the range of sensitivities that can be expected from a large
population of sensors at room temperature and over life. When the temperature deviates from room
temperature (25ºC), the sensitivity will vary by the amount shown in Table 1.
R
Zero-g offset
N
ot
Zero-g offset or 0-g offset describes the actual output of the accelerometer when no acceleration is
applied. Ideally, the output would always be in the middle of the dynamic range of the sensor (content
of the OUTX, OUTY, OUTZ registers = 00h, expressed as a 2’s complement number). However,
because of mismatches in the sensor, calibration errors, and mechanical stress, the output can deviate
from 00h. This deviation from the ideal value is called 0-g offset. The zero-g offset tolerance describes
the range of 0-g offsets of a population of sensors over the operating temperature range.
Self-test
Self-test allows a functional test of the sensor without applying a physical acceleration to it. When
activated, an electrostatic force is applied to the sensor, simulating an input acceleration. The sensor
outputs respond accordingly. If the output signals change within the amplitude specified in Table 1,
then the sensor is working properly and the parameters of the interface chip are within the defined
specifications.

Functionality
Sense element
The sense element is fabricated using Kionix’s proprietary plasma micromachining process technology.
This process technology allows Kionix to create mechanical silicon structures which are essentially
mass-spring systems that move in the direction of the applied acceleration. Acceleration sensing is
based on the principle of a differential capacitance arising from the acceleration-induced motion.
Capacitive plates on the moving mass move relative to fixed capacitive plates anchored to the
substrate. The sense element is hermetically sealed at the wafer level by bonding a second silicon lid
wafer to the device using a glass frit.
ASIC interface
A separate ASIC device packaged with the sense element provides all of the signal conditioning and
communication with the sensor. The complete measurement chain is composed by a low-noise
capacitance to voltage amplifier which converts the differential capacitance of the MEMS sensor into
an analog voltage that is sent through an analog-to-digital converter. The acceleration data may be
accessed through the I2C digital communications provided by the ASIC. In addition, the ASIC contains
all of the logic to allow the user to choose data rates, g-ranges, filter settings, and interrupt logic. Plus,
there are two programmable state machines which allow the user to create unique embedded functions
based on changes in acceleration.
Factory calibration
N
ot
R
Kionix trims the offset and sensitivity of each accelerometer by adjusting gain (sensitivity) and 0-g
offset trim codes stored in nonvolatile memory (OTP). Additionally, all functional register default values
are also programmed into the nonvolatile memory. Every time the device is turned on or a software
reset command is issued, the trimming parameters and default register values are downloaded into the
volatile registers to be used during active operation. This allows the device to function without further
calibration.

Digital Interface
The Kionix KX023 digital accelerometer has the ability to communicate via the I2C and SPI digital serial
interface protocols. 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 6 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 6. Serial Interface Terminologies
I2C Serial Interface
As previously mentioned, the KX023 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
KX023 always operates as a Slave device during standard Master-Slave I2C operation.
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.
N
The I2C interface is compliant with high-speed mode, fast mode and standard mode I2C protocols.

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 KX023’s Slave Address is comprised of a programmable part
and a fixed part, which allows for connection of multiple KX023’s to the same I2C bus. The Slave Address
associated with the KX023 is 001111X, where the programmable bit, X, is determined by the assignment of
ADDR (pin 7) to GND or IO_VDD. Figure 1 above shows how two KX023’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,
the Master must transmit a stop condition (P) by transitioning the SDA line from low to high while SCL is high.
The I2C bus is now free. Note that if the KX023 is accessed through I2C protocol before the startup is finished
a NACK signal is sent.
Writing to 8-bit Register
Upon power up, the Master must write to the KX023’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 KX023 ACK has been
returned, an 8-bit Register Address (RA) command is transmitted by the Master. This command is telling the
KX023 to which 8-bit register the Master will be writing the data. Since this is I2C mode, the MSB of the RA
command should always be zero (0). The KX023 acknowledges the RA and the Master transmits the data to
be stored in the 8-bit register. The KX023 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 KX023 is now stored in the appropriate
register. The KX023 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.
Note** If a STOP condition is sent on the least significant bit of write data or the following master acknowledge
cycle, the last write operation is not guaranteed and it may alter the content of the affected registers.
R
Reading from 8-bit Register
N
ot
When reading data from a KX023 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 KX023 acknowledges and the Master transmits the 8-bit
RA of the register it wants to read. The KX023 again acknowledges, and the Master transmits a repeated start
condition (Sr). After the repeated start condition, the Master addresses the KX023 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. The accelerometer 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. Reading data from a buffer read register is a special case
because if register address (RA) is set to buffer read register (BUF_READ) in Sequence 4, the register autoincrement feature is automatically disabled. Instead, the Read Pointer will increment to the next data in the
buffer, thus allowing reading multiple bytes of data from the buffer using a single SAD+R command.
Note** Accelerometer’s output data should be read in a single transaction using the auto-increment feature to
prevent output data from being updated prior to intended completion of the read transaction.

SPI interface is primarily used for synchronous serial communication between one Master device and one or
more Slave devices. The Master, typically a micro controller, provides the SPI clock signal (SCLK) and
determines the state of Chip Select (nCS). The KX023 always operates as a Slave device during standard
Master-Slave SPI operation.
4-wire SPI is a synchronous serial interface that uses two control and two data lines. With respect to the
Master, the Serial Clock output (SCLK), the Data Output (SDI or MOSI) and the Data Input (SDO or MISO) are
shared among the Slave devices. The Master generates an independent Chip Select (nCS) for each Slave
device that goes low at the start of transmission and goes back high at the end. The Slave Data Output (SDO)
line, remains in a high-impedance (hi-z) state when the device is not selected, so it does not interfere with any
active devices. This allows multiple Slave devices to share a master SPI port as shown in Figure 2 below.

4-Wire Read and Write Registers
The registers embedded in the KX023 have 8-bit addresses. Upon power up, the Master must write to the
accelerometer’s control registers to set its operational mode. On the falling edge of nCS, a 2-byte command is
written to the appropriate control register. The first byte initiates the write to the appropriate register, and is
followed by the user-defined, data byte. The MSB (Most Significant Bit) of the register address byte will
indicate “0” when writing to the register and “1” when reading from the register. This operation occurs over 16
clock cycles. All commands are sent MSB first. The host must return nCS high for at least one clock cycle
before the next data request. However, when data is being read from a buffer read register (BUF_READ), the
nCS signal can remain low until the buffer is read. Figure 3 below shows the timing diagram for carrying out an
8-bit register write operation.

Register Descriptions
Accelerometer Outputs
These registers contain up to 16-bits of valid acceleration data for each axis. Depending on the setting
of the RES bit in CNTL1, the user may choose to read only the 8 MSB thus reading an effective 8-bit
resolution. When BRES = ‘0’ in BUF_CNTL2 the 8 MSB is the only data recorded in the buffer. 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 12 below. The register acceleration
output binary data is represented in 2’s complement format. For example, if N = 16 bits, then the
Counts range is from -32768 to 32767, and if N = 8 bits, then the Counts range is from -128 to 127.

This register contains counter information for the detection of a double tap event. When the Directional
TapTM ODR is 400Hz or less, every count is calculated as 1/ODR delay period. When the Directional

ODR is 1600Hz, every count is calculated as 4/ODR delay period. The Directional TapTM ODR is userdefined per Table 19. The TDTC counts starts at the beginning of the fist tap and it represents the
minimum time separation between the first tap and the second tap in a double tap event. More
specifically, the second tap event must end outside of the TDTC. The Kionix recommended default
value is 0.3 seconds (0x78h). Note that to properly change the value of this register, the PC1 bit in

This register represents the 8-bit jerk high threshold to determine if a tap is detected. Though this is an
8-bit register, the register value is internally multiplied by two in order to set the high threshold. This
multiplication results in a range of 0d to 510d with a resolution of two counts. The Performance Index
(PI) is the jerk signal that is expected to be less than this threshold, but greater than the TTL threshold
during single and double tap events. Note that to properly change the value of this register, the PC1 bit
in CNTL1 must first be set to “0”. The Kionix recommended default value is 203 (0xCBh) and the
Performance Index is calculated as:
N

X’ = X (current) – X (previous)
Y’ = Y (current) – Y (previous)
Z’ = Z (current) – Z (previous)

Description
The buffer collects 84 sets of 8-bit low resolution values or 41
sets of 16bit high resolution values and then stops collecting
data, collecting new data only when the buffer is not full.
The buffer holds the last 84 sets of 8-bit low resolution values
or 41 sets of 16bit high resolution values. Once the buffer is
full, the oldest data is discarded to make room for newer data.
When a trigger event occurs, the buffer holds the last data set
of SMP_TH[6:0] samples before the trigger event and then
continues to collect data until full. New data is collected only
when the buffer is not full.
The buffer holds the last 84 sets of 8-bit low resolution values
or 41 sets of 16bit high resolution values. Once the buffer is
full, the oldest data is discarded to make room for newer data.
Reading from the buffer in this mode will return the most
recent data first.

Embedded Applications
Orientation Detection Feature
The Orientation detection feature of the KX023 will report changes in face up, face down, ± vertical and ±
horizontal orientation. This intelligent embedded algorithm considers very important factors that provide
accurate orientation detection from low cost tri-axis accelerometers. Factors such as: hysteresis, device
orientation angle and delay time are described below as these techniques are utilized inside the KX023

Table 24: Acceleration at the four orientations with ± 15° of hysteresis
N
ot
R
A 45° tilt angle threshold seems like a good choice because it is halfway between 0° and 90°. However,
a problem arises when the user holds the device near 45°. Slight vibrations, noise and inherent sensor
error will cause the acceleration to go above and below the threshold rapidly and randomly, so the
screen will quickly flip back and forth between the 0° and the 90° orientations. This problem is avoided
in the KX023 by choosing a 30° threshold angle. With a 30° threshold, the screen will not rotate from 0°
to 90° until the device is tilted to 60° (30° from 90°). To rotate back to 0°, the user must tilt back to 30°,
thus avoiding the screen flipping problem. This example essentially applies ± 15° of hysteresis in
between the four screen rotation states. Table 24 shows the acceleration limits implemented for T
=30°.
The KX023 allows the user to change the amount of hysteresis in between the four screen rotation
states. By simply writing to the HYST_SET register, the user can adjust the amount of hysteresis up to
± 45°. The plot in Figure 8 shows the typical amount of hysteresis applied for a given digital count value
of HYST_SET.

To ensure that horizontal and vertical device orientation changes are detected, even when it isn’t in the
ideal vertical orientation – where the angle θ in Figure 9 is 90°, the KX023 considers device orientation
angle in its algorithm.

Figure 9: Device Orientation Angle
As the angle in Figure 9 is decreased, the maximum gravitational acceleration on the X-axis or Y-axis
will also decrease. Therefore, when the angle becomes small enough, the user will not be able to make
the screen orientation change. When the device orientation angle approaches 0° (device is flat on a

desk or table), ax = ay = 0g, az = +1g, and there is no way to determine which way the screen should be
oriented, the internal algorithm determines that the device is in either the face-up or face-down
orientation, depending on the sign of the z-axis. The KX023 will only change the screen orientation
when the orientation angle is above the factory-defaulted/user-defined threshold set in the
TILT_ANGLE register. Equation 2 can be used to determine what value to write to the TILT_ANGLE
register to set the device orientation angle. The value for TILT_ANGLE_HL is preset at the factory but
can be adjusted in special cases (e.g. to reduce the effect of transient g-variation such as when device
is being moved rather than just being rotated).
TILT_ANGLE (counts) = sin θ * (32 (counts/g))
Equation 2: Tilt Angle Threshold
Tilt Timer
The 8-bit register, TILT_TIMER can be used to qualify changes in orientation. The KX023 does this by
incrementing a counter with a size that is specified by the value in TILT_TIMER for each set of
acceleration samples to verify that a change to a new orientation state is maintained. A user defined
output data rate (ODR) determines the time period for each sample. Equation 3 shows how to calculate
the TILT_TIMER register value for a desired delay time.

Motion Interrupt Feature Description
The Motion interrupt feature of the KX023 reports qualified changes in the high-pass filtered acceleration
based on the Wake Up (ATH) threshold. If the high-pass filtered acceleration on any axis is greater than the
user-defined wake up threshold (ATH), the device has transitioned from an inactive state to an active state.
Equation 4 shows how to calculate the ATH register value for a desired wake up threshold. Note that this
calculation varies based on the configured g-range of the part.
ATH (counts) = Wake Up Threshold (g) x 16 (counts/g)
Equation 4: Wake Up Threshold
An 8-bit raw unsigned value represents a counter that permits the user to qualify each active/inactive state
change. Note that each WUFC Timer count qualifies 1 (one) user-defined ODR period (OWUF). Equation 5
shows how to calculate the WUFC register value for a desired wake up delay time.
WUFC (counts) = Wake Up Delay Time (sec) x OWUF (Hz)
Equation 5: Wake Up Delay Time
R
The latched motion interrupt response algorithm works as following: while the part is in inactive state, the
algorithm evaluates differential measurement between each new acceleration data point with the preceding
one and evaluates it against the ATH threshold. When the differential measurement is greater than ATH
threshold, the wakeup counter starts the count. Differential measurements are now calculated based on the
difference between the current acceleration and the acceleration when the counter started. The part will report
that motion has occurred at the end of the count assuming each differential measurement has remained above
the threshold. If at any moment during the count the differential measurement falls below the threshold, the
counter will stop the count and the part will remain in inactive state.
N
ot
To illustrate how the algorithm works, consider the Figure 10 below that shows the latched response of the
motion detection algorithm with WUF Timer (WUFC) set to 10 counts. Note how the difference between the
acceleration sample marked in red and the one marked in green resulted in a differential measurements
represented with orange bar being above the WUF threshold. At this point, the counter begins to count number
of counts stored in WUFC register and the wakeup algorithm will evaluate the difference between each new
acceleration measurement and the measurement marked in green that will remain a reference measurement
for the duration of the counter count. At the end of the count, assuming all differential measurements were
larger than WUF threshold, as is the case in the example showed in Figure 10, a motion event will be reported.

Directional Tap Detection Feature Description
The Directional Tap Detection feature of the KX023 recognizes single and double tap inputs and reports the
acceleration axis and direction that each tap occurred. Eight performance parameters, as well as a userselectable ODR are used to configure the KX023 for a desired tap detection response.
Performance Index
The Directional TapTM detection algorithm uses low and high thresholds to help determine when a tap event
has occurred. A tap event is detected when the previously described jerk summation exceeds the low
threshold (TTL) for more than the tap detection low limit, but less than the tap detection high limit as contained
in FTD. Samples that exceed the high limit (TTH) will be ignored. Figure 11 shows an example of a single tap
event meeting the performance index criteria.

A second tap has to occur outside of the latency timer. If a second tap occurs inside the latency time, it
will be ignored as it occurred too quickly. The single tap will be reported at the end of the TWS. Figure

Double Tap Detection

ot

An event can be characterized as a double tap if the second tap crosses up the performance index
(TTL) inside the TWS period and ends outside the TDTC. This means that the TDTC determines the
minimum time separation that must exist between the two taps of a double tap event. Similar to the
single tap, the first tap event must exceed the performance index for the time limit contained in FTD.
Also, the duration when the first and second events combined exceed the performance index should
not exceed STD. The double tap will be reported at the end of the second TLT. Figure 13 shows a
double tap event meeting the PI, latency and window requirements.

Sample Buffer Feature Description
The sample buffer feature of the KX023 accumulates and outputs acceleration data based on how it is
configured. There are 4 buffer modes available, and samples can be accumulated at either low (8-bit) or high
(16-bit) resolution. Acceleration data is collected at the ODR specified by OSA[3:0] in the ODCNTL register.
Each buffer mode accumulates data, reports data, and interacts with status indicators in a slightly different
way.
FIFO Mode
Data Accumulation
Sample collection stops when the buffer is full.
Data Reporting
Data is reported with the oldest byte of the oldest sample first (X_L or X based
on resolution).
Status Indicators
A watermark interrupt occurs when the number of samples in the buffer reaches
the Sample Threshold. The watermark interrupt stays active until the buffer
contains less than this number of samples. This can be accomplished through
clearing the buffer or explicitly reading greater than SMPX samples (calculated
with Equation 6).

Data Accumulation
When a physical interrupt is caused by one of the digital engines or when a logic
high signal occurs on the TRIG pin, the trigger event is asserted and
SMP_TH[6:0] samples prior to the event are retained. Sample collection
continues until the buffer is full.
Data Reporting
Data is reported with the oldest sample first (uses FIFO read pointer).

When a physical interrupt occurs and there are at least SMP_TH[6:0] samples in
the buffer, BUF_TRIG in BUF_STATUS_2 is asserted.

Buffer Operation
The following diagrams illustrate the operation of the buffer conceptually. Actual physical
implementation has been abstracted to offer a simplified explanation of how the different buffer
modes operate. Figure 14 represents a high-resolution 3-axis sample within the buffer. Figure
15 – Figure 23 represent a 10-sample version of the buffer (for simplicity), with Sample
Threshold set to 8.
Regardless of the selected mode, the buffer fills sequentially, one byte at a time. It it important
to keep in mind that new data is not being written to the buffer during the buffer read operation.
Thus, care must be taken when reading from the buffer. If data loss is not desired, the buffer
read operation should be completed within ODR clock cycle.

After a trigger event occurs, the buffer no longer discards the oldest samples, and instead
begins accumulating samples sequentially until full. The buffer then stops collecting samples, as
seen in Figure 19. This results in the buffer holding SMP_TH[6:0] samples prior to the trigger
event, and SMPX samples after the trigger event.

In FIFO, Stream, FILO, and Trigger (after a trigger event has occurred) modes, the buffer
continues filling sequentially after the Sample Threshold is reached. Sample accumulation after
the buffer is full depends on the selected operation mode. FIFO and Trigger modes stop
accumulating samples when the buffer is full, and Stream and FILO modes begin discarding the
oldest data when new samples are accumulated.
