Product Description
The KXD94-2802 is a Tri-axis, silicon micromachined accelerometer
with a full-scale output range of +/-10g (98 m/s/s). 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 self-test. The accelerometer is delivered in a 5 x 5
x 1.2 mm DFN plastic package operating from a 2.50V - 5.25V DC
supply. The three outputs (X, Y, Z) are provided on analog output
pins. The KXD94 also features an integrated 4-channel
multiplexer (X, Y, Z, and Aux In). The Enable pin must be high for
normal operation and low for power shutdown.
There are 4 factory programmable modes of operation for the
KXD94:
R
Mode 00 – The three outputs (X, Y, Z) are read through the digital SPI interface, which is also
used to command Selftest and Standby Mode. The digital I/O pads are powered
from a separate power pin, and will interface to 1.8V logic.
N
ot
Mode 01 – The three outputs (X, Y, Z) are provided on three analog output pins. The KXD94
also features an integrated 3-channel multiplexer (X, Y, Z). The Enable pin must
be high for normal operation and low for power shutdown.
Mode 10 – The three outputs (X, Y, Z) are provided on three analog output pins. The KXD94
also features an integrated 4-channel multiplexer (X, Y, Z, Aux In). The Enable
pin must be high for normal operation and low for power shutdown.
Mode 11 – The three outputs (X, Y, Z) are provided on three analog output pins. The KXD94
also features an integrated 4-channel multiplexer (X, Y, Z, Aux In). The Enable
pin must be low for normal operation and high for power shutdown.
The KXD94-2802 is factory programmed to be in MODE 10.

voltage levels and ramping Vdd may result in failure. Note- The voltage can not cycle during the startup period.
The operating voltage range of the KXD94 is 2.5V to 5.25V but the performance for that range is not
validated by this specification.

Important Technical Note: Power Up / Power Down
Proper functioning of power-on reset (POR) is dependent on the specific Voff and Toff profile of individual
applications. It is recommended to minimize Voff and maximize Toff. The application should be evaluated
with the range of Voff and Toff expected within the application as POR performance can vary depending on
these parameters. In order to guarantee proper reset regardless of Voff and Toff, a software reset can be
issued via the SPI protocol. Please refer to Technical Note KXR94 and KXD94 Accelerometer Reset
Sequence document to ensure proper POR function in your application.

Application Design Equations
The bandwidth is determined by the internal 1kHz low pass filter. The user can lower the bandwidth by placing
filter capacitors connected from pins 2, 13 and 14 to ground. The response is single pole. Given a desired
bandwidth, fBW, the filter capacitors are determined by:
4.97 x106
C2 C3 C4
f BW
The response time (RT) is determined by the equation:
RT 5 Rint Cext
Rint is the 32KΩ internal resistor. Cext is the external resistor C2, C3, and C4.
Output is a function of t (time) for constant Resistance and Capacitance. Outtn is the output during normal
operation. The function for output during selftest actuation is described by:

Multiplexed Output of the KXD94
Multiplexer Data Select
The KXD94 features an integrated 4-channel multiplexer. This feature reduces system MCU
requirements to only 1 ADC and 2 digital I/O’s. The KXD94 uses two select inputs (S0, S1) to control
the data flow from Vmux, which is a high impedance output. When a microprocessor toggles the select
inputs, the desired output is attained based on the Output Select Table 5. Note that logic 0 is GND and
logic 1 is Vdd.

Data Sampling Rate
When operating in its multiplexed mode, the KXD94 has the ability to achieve very high data sampling
rates. Internally, the sensor elements (X, Y) are sequentially sampled in a “round robin” fashion at a
rate of 32KHz per axis. Note that this is a differential capacitance sampling of each sensor element,
which stores an analog voltage on the filter cap for each axis. Combine this high sensor elementsampling rate with the short 5µS settling time of the integrated multiplexer, and the user can achieve a
performance very close to that of the X and Y analog outputs. This is more than sufficient to eliminate
any aliasing in the final application since the KXD94 will be operating with a typical bandwidth of ~50Hz
and a maximum of 1000Hz.

KXD94 Digital Interface
The Kionix KXD94 digital accelerometer has the ability to communicate on a SPI digital serial interface
bus. This flexibility allows for easy system integration by eliminating analog-to-digital converter
requirements and by providing direct communication with system micro-controllers.

The chip will ignore all SPI activity when nCS is held high, and the analog function will run. The analog
function is powered down whenever nCS is low, but the SPI bus will function, allowing communication
to enable and reset the KXD94.

Self Test Function
The selftest is activated when ‘logic 1’ is applied to the ST pin (See Figure 1). An electrostatic force is
applied to the sense element that causes the mass to move and the output increases. The selftest
function exercises the X and Y sense elements and ASIC blocks. The output change of the selftest
function is modified by the internal 1kHz LPF and the external LPF that is defined by the ASIC internal
resistance and the external capacitor. Figure 4 is an example of the selftest output with a 50Hz external
LPF. The selftest is actuated at 10 Hz and 25% duty cycle.
