The MXD2002A/B is a very low cost, dual axis
accelerometer fabricated on a standard, submicron CMOS
process. The MXD2002A/B measures acceleration with a
full-scale range of ±10 g. (The MEMSIC accelerometer
product line extends from ±1 g to ±10 g with custom
versions available above ±10 g.) It can measure both
dynamic acceleration (e.g., vibration) and static
acceleration (e.g., gravity). The MXD2002A/B 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 loss due to handling during assembly.
The MXD2002A/B provides a digital output (ref. other
MEMSIC data sheets for analog or ratiometric analog
outputs). The outputs are digital signals with duty cycles
(ratio of pulsewidth to period) that are proportional to
acceleration. The duty cycle outputs can be directly
interfaced to a micro-processor.

The typical noise floor is .0015% duty cycle
/ Hz allowing
signals below 6 milli-g to be resolved at 1 Hz bandwidth.
The MXD2002A/B 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 MXD2002A/B,
additional circuitry can easily be incorporated into custom
versions for high volume applications. Contact the factory
for more information.
