Product Description
The KXRB5-2050 is a Tri-axis, silicon micromachined accelerometer with a
full-scale output range of +/-2g (19.6 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 3 x 0.9 mm LGA plastic package operating from a 2.5 – 5.25V DC supply.
There are 4 factory programmable modes of operation for the KXRB5:
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.
Mode 01 – The three outputs (X, Y, Z) are provided on three analog output pins. The KXRB5 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 KXRB5 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 KXRB5 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 KXRB5-2050 is factory programmed to be in MODE 10.

Notes:
1. The typical value assumes no external capacitor on the output pin. If there is an external
capacitor, power up time is 11ms + 5 times the RC time constant of this optional user
defined low pass filter.
2. Internal 1 kHz low pass filter. Lower frequencies are user definable with external capacitors.

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 KXRB5 and KXSB5 Accelerometer Reset
Sequence document to ensure proper POR function in your application.

Application Design Equations
The bandwidth is determined by the filter capacitors connected from pins 7, 8 and 9 to ground. The response
is single pole. Given a desired bandwidth in Hz, fBW, the filter capacitors are determined by:

USING THE MULTIPLEXED OUTPUT OF THE KXRB5
Multiplexer Data Select
The KXRB5 features an integrated 4-channel multiplexer. This feature reduces system MCU
requirements to only 1 ADC and 2 digital I/O’s. The KXRB5 uses two select inputs (S0, S1) to control
the data flow from Vmux. When a microprocessor toggles the select inputs, the desired output is
attained based on the select table. Note that logic 0 is GND and logic 1 is Vdd.

Data Sampling Rate
When operating in its multiplexed mode, the KXRB5 has the ability to achieve very high data sampling
rates. Internally, the sensor elements (X, Y, and Z) are sequentially sampled in a “round robin” fashion
at a rate of 32 kHz 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
element sampling rate with the short 5 µs settling time of the integrated multiplexer, and the user can
achieve a performance very close to that of the 3 separate analog outputs. This is more than sufficient
to eliminate any aliasing in the final application since the KXRB5 will be operating with a typical
bandwidth of ~50Hz and a maximum of 1000Hz.
