Linearity error is the deviation from the best bit straight line. See Figure 21.

Linearity error is calculated by
Equation 6
LinErZ âaxis @ acc
=
OutputZâaxis @ acc â Output@ acc
Sens â
FS
â
100% ,
where LinErZ-axis@acc is sensorâs Z-axis linearity error [%FS] on input acceleration acc, OutputZ-axis@acc
is sensorâs measured Z-axis output [counts] on input acceleration acc, Output@acc is sensorâs
nominal output [counts] on input acceleration acc, Sens is sensorâs nominal sensitivity [counts/g] and
FS is sensorâs full scale measuring range [g] (for example for CMA3000-D01 with ±2g setting â
FS = 2 g).
Sensorâs ideal output Output@acc (in Equation 6) is calculated by fitting a straight line to measured
accelerations from âFS to FS.
8.4 Noise
Output noise nX, nY and nZ in X,Y and Z directions is the measured standard deviation of the output
values when the sensor is in 0 g position at room temperature. Average noise/axis is calculated by
