THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADXL377 is a complete 3-axis acceleration measurement
system with a typical measurement range of 200 g. The ADXL377
contains a polysilicon, surface-micromachined sensor and signal
conditioning circuitry to implement an open-loop acceleration
measurement architecture. The output signals are analog voltages
that are proportional to acceleration. The accelerometer can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications,
as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion, shock,
or vibration.
The sensor is a polysilicon, surface-micromachined structure
built on top of a silicon wafer. Polysilicon springs suspend the
structure over the surface of the wafer and provide resistance
against acceleration forces. Deflection of the structure is measured using a differential capacitor that consists of independent
fixed plates and plates attached to the moving mass. The fixed
plates are driven by 180 out-of-phase square waves. Acceleration
deflects the moving mass and unbalances the differential capacitor,
resulting in a sensor output whose amplitude is proportional to
acceleration. Phase-sensitive demodulation techniques are then
used to determine the magnitude and direction of the acceleration.
MECHANICAL SENSOR
The ADXL377 uses a single structure for sensing the acceleration in the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis. As a result, the three sense
directions are highly orthogonal with little cross-axis sensitivity.
Mechanical misalignment of the sensor die to the package or
misalignment of the package to the PCB is the chief source of
cross-axis sensitivity. Mechanical misalignment can be calibrated
at the system level.
PERFORMANCE
Rather than using additional temperature compensation circuitry,
the ADXL377 uses innovative design techniques to ensure high
performance. As a result, there is neither quantization error nor
nonmonotonic behavior, and temperature hysteresis is very low.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
For most applications, a single 0.1 F capacitor, CDC, placed
close to the ADXL377 supply pins adequately decouples the
accelerometer from noise on the power supply. However, in
applications where noise is present at the 50 kHz internal clock
frequency (or any harmonic thereof), additional care in power
supply bypassing is required because this noise can cause errors
in acceleration measurement.
If additional decoupling is needed, a 100 (or smaller) resistor
or ferrite bead can be inserted in the supply line. In addition, a
larger bulk bypass capacitor (1 F or greater) can be added in
parallel to CDC. Ensure that the connection from the ADXL377
ground to the power supply ground is low impedance because
noise transmitted through ground has a similar effect as noise
transmitted through VS.

SELF-TEST
The ST pin controls the self-test feature. When this pin is set to
VS, an electrostatic force is exerted on the accelerometer beam.
The resulting movement of the beam allows the user to test
whether the accelerometer is functional. The typical change in
output is 1.08 g (corresponding to 6.5 mV) for the x-axis,
+1.08 g (or +6.5 mV) for the y-axis, and +1.83 g (or +11.5 mV)
for the z-axis. The ST pin can be left open circuit or connected
to ground (GND) in normal use.
