Product Description
The KXTIA is a tri-axis +/-2g, +/-4g or +/-8g silicon micromachined
accelerometer with integrated 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 userprogrammable application algorithms.
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 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.

4-Wire SPI Interface
The KXTIA also utilizes an integrated 4-Wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for digital communication. The
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 KXTIA 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.

Read and Write Registers
The registers embedded in the KXTIA 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, and the host must return nCS high for at least one clock cycle
before the next data request. Figure 3 below shows the timing diagram for carrying out an 8-bit register write
operation.

Figure 3 Timing Diagram for 8-Bit Register Write Operation
In order to read an 8-bit register, an 8-bit register address must be written to the accelerometer to initiate the
read. The MSB of this register address byte will indicate “0” when writing to the register and “1” when reading
from the register. Upon receiving the address, the accelerometer returns the 8-bit data stored in the
addressed register. This operation also occurs over 16 clock cycles. All returned data is sent MSB first, and
the host must return nCS high for at least one clock cycle before the next data request. Figure 4 shows the
timing diagram for an 8-bit register read operation.

3-Wire SPI Interface
The KXTIA also utilizes an integrated 3-Wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for digital communication. 3wire SPI is a synchronous serial interface that uses two control lines and one data line. With respect to the
Master, the Serial Clock output (SCLK), the Data Output/Input (SDI) 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. This allows multiple Slave devices to share a master SPI port as
shown in Figure 6 below.

Read and Write Registers
The registers embedded in the KXTIA 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. A read operation occurs over
17 clock cycles and a write operation occurs over 16 clock cycles. All commands are sent MSB first, and the
host must return nCS high for at least one clock cycle before the next address transmission. Figure 6 below
shows the timing diagram for carrying out an 8-bit register write operation.

Figure 6 Timing Diagram for 8-Bit Register Write Operation
In order to read an 8-bit register, an 8-bit register address must be written to the accelerometer to initiate the
read. The MSB of this register address byte will indicate “0” when writing to the register and “1” when reading
from the register. Upon receiving the address, the accelerometer returns the 8-bit data stored in the
addressed register. For 3-wire read operations, one extra clock cycle between the address byte and the data
output byte is required. Therefore, this operation occurs over 17 clock cycles. All returned data is sent MSB
first, and the host must return nCS high for at least one clock cycle before the next data request. Figure 7
shows the timing diagram for an 8-bit register read operation.

KXTIA 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 Figure 1 below. The register acceleration output binary data is represented in N-bit
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.

TDT_TIMER
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
TapTM ODR is 800Hz, every count is calculated as 2/ODR delay period. When the Directional TapTM
ODR is 1600Hz, every count is calculated as 4/ODR delay period. The Directional TapTM ODR is userdefined per Table 16. TDT_TIMER represents the minimum time separation between the first tap and
the second tap in a double tap event. The Kionix recommended default value is 0.3 seconds (0x78h).
Note that to properly change the value of this register, the PC1 bit in CTRL_REG1 must first be set to
“0”.

TDT_H_THRESH
This register represents the 8-bit jerk high threshold to determine if a tap is detected. Though this is an
8-bit register, the KXTIA internally multiplies the register value 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 TDT_L_THRESH threshold during single and double tap events. Note that to properly change
the value of this register, the PC1 bit in CTRL_REG1 must first be set to “0”. The Kionix recommended
default value is 203 (0xCBh) and the Performance Index is calculated as:
X’ = X(current) – X(previous)
Y’ = Y(current) – Y(previous)
Z’ = Z(current) – Z(previous)
PI = |X’| + |Y’| + |Z’|

Description
The buffer collects 84 sets of 8-bit low resolution values or 41
sets of 12bit 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 12bit 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[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 12bit 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.

KXTIA Embedded Applications
Orientation Detection Feature
The orientation detection feature of the KXTIA 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 KXTIA.
Hysteresis
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 KXTIA 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°.
Orientation X Acceleration (g) Y Acceleration (g)
0°/360°
-0.5 < ax < 0.5
ay > 0.866
90°
ax > 0.866
-0.5 < ay < 0.5
180°
-0.5 < ax < 0.5
ay < -0.866
270°
ax < -0.866
-0.5 < ay < 0.5
Table 24. Acceleration at the four orientations with +/- 15° of hysteresis
The KXTIA 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 9 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

orientation angle in its algorithm.

As the angle in Figure 2 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 KXTIA 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.
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 KXTIA 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.
TILT_TIMER (counts) = Delay Time (sec) x ODR (Hz)
Equation 3. Tilt Position Delay Time
Motion Interrupt Feature Description
The Motion interrupt feature of the KXTIA reports qualified changes in the high-pass filtered acceleration
based on the Wake Up (WUF) threshold. If the high-pass filtered acceleration on any axis is greater than the
user-defined wake up threshold (WUF_THRESH), the device has transitioned from an inactive state to an
active state. When configured in the unlatched mode, the KXTIA will report when the motion event finished
and the device has returned to an inactive state. Equation 4 shows how to calculate the WUF_THRESH
register value for a desired wake up threshold. Note that this calculation varies based on the configured grange of the part.
WUF_THRESH (counts) = Wake Up Threshold (g) x Sensitivity (counts/g)

A WUF (WUF_TIMER) 8-bit raw unsigned value represents a counter that permits the user to qualify each
active/inactive state change. Note that each WUF Timer count qualifies 1 (one) user-defined ODR period
(OWUF). Equation 5 shows how to calculate the WUF_TIMER register value for a desired wake up delay
time.
WUF_TIMER (counts) = Wake Up Delay Time (sec) x OWUF (Hz)

Directional Tap Detection Feature Description
The Directional Tap Detection feature of the KXTIA 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 KXTIA 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 (TDT_L_THRESH) for more than the tap detection low limit, but less than the tap
detection high limit as contained in TDT_TAP_TIMER. Samples that exceed the high limit
(TDT_H_THRESH) will be ignored. Figure 13 shows an example of a single tap event meeting the
performance index criteria.

Single Tap Detection
The latency timer (TDT_LATENCY_TIMER) sets the time period that a tap event will only be
characterized as a single tap. 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 TDT_WINDOW_TIMER. Figure 14 shows a single tap event meeting the PI,
latency and window requirements.

Double Tap Detection
An event can be characterized as a double tap only if the second tap crosses the performance index
(TDT_L_THRESH) outside the TDT_TIMER. This means that the TDT_TIMER determines the
minimum time separation that must exist between the two taps of a double tap event. Similar to the
single tap, the second tap event must exceed the performance index for the time limit contained in
TDT_TAP_TIMER. The double tap will be reported at the end of the second TDT_LATENCY_TIMER.

Sample Buffer Feature Description
The sample buffer feature of the KXTIA 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
(12-bit) resolution. Acceleration data is collected at the ODR specified by OSAA:OSAD in the Output Data
Control 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).
BUF_RES=0:
SMPX = SMP_LEV[7:0] / 3 – SMP_TH[6:0]
BUF_RES=1:
SMPX = SMP_LEV[7:0] / 6 – SMP_TH[6:0]
Equation 6. Samples Above Sample Threshold
Stream Mode
Data Accumulation
Sample collection continues when the buffer is full; older data is discarded to
make room for newer data.
Data Reporting
Data is reported with the oldest sample first (uses FIFO read pointer).
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 1).

Trigger Mode
Data Accumulation
When a physical interrupt is caused by one of the digital engines, the trigger
event is asserted and SMP[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).
Status Indicators
When a physical interrupt occurs and there are at least SMP[6:0] samples in the
buffer, BUF_TRIG in BUF_STATUS_REG2 is asserted.
FILO Mode
Data Accumulation
Sample collection continues when the buffer is full; older data is discarded to
make room for newer data.
Data Reporting
Data is reported with the newest byte of the newest sample first (Z_H or Z 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 1).
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 1 represents a high-resolution 3-axis sample within the buffer.
Figures 2-10 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. Figure 16
shows one 6-byte data sample. Note the location of the FILO read pointer versus that of the
FIFO read pointer.
