GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MXD2020E/F is an ultra low noise and low cost, dual
axis accelerometer built on a standard, submicron CMOS
process. The MXD2020E/F measures acceleration with a
full-scale range of ± 1 g. (The MEMSIC accelerometer
product line extends from ±1 g to ±200 g with custom
versions available above ±10 g.) It can measure both
dynamic acceleration (e.g., vibration) and static
acceleration (e.g., gravity). The MXD2020E/F design is
based on heat convection and requires no solid proof mass.
This eliminates stiction and particle problems associated
with competitive devices and provides shock survival up to
50,000 g, leading to significantly lower failure rates and
lower losses due to handling during assembly.
The MXD2020E/F provides a digital output. The outputs
are digital signals with duty cycles (ratio of pulse width to
period) that are proportional to acceleration. The duty
cycles outputs can be directly interfaced to a micro-
processor.

MXD2020E/F FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The typical noise floor is 0.2mg / Hz allowing signals
below 1 milli-g to be resolved at 1 Hz bandwidth. The
MXD2020E/F is available in a low profile LCC surface
mount package (5mm x 5mm x 2mm height). It is
hermetically sealed and operational over a -40°C to +105°C
temperature range.
Due to the standard CMOS structure of the MXD2020E/F,
additional circuitry can easily be incorporated into custom
versions for high volume applications. Contact the factory
for more information.
