GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADXL327 is a small, low power, complete 3-axis accelerometer
with signal conditioned voltage outputs. The product measures
acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of 2 g. It can
measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing
applications, as well as dynamic acceleration, resulting from
motion, shock, or vibration.
The user selects the bandwidth of the accelerometer using
the CX, CY, and CZ capacitors at the XOUT, YOUT, and ZOUT pins.
Bandwidths can be selected to suit the application with a
range of 0.5 Hz to 1600 Hz for X and Y axes and a range of
0.5 Hz to 550 Hz for the Z axis.
The ADXL327 is available in a small, low profile, 4 mm
4 mm 1.45 mm, 16-lead, plastic lead frame chip scale package
(LFCSP_LQ).

ADXL327

Rev. 0 | Page 10 of 16
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADXL327 is a complete 3-axis acceleration measurement
system. The ADXL327 has a measurement range of 2 g minimum.
It 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 a 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.
The demodulator output is amplified and brought off-chip through
a 32 k resistor. The user then sets the signal bandwidth of the
device by adding a capacitor. This filtering improves measurement
resolution and helps prevent aliasing.
MECHANICAL SENSOR
The ADXL327 uses a single structure for sensing the X, Y, and Z axes.
As a result, the three axes sense directions are highly orthogonal
with little cross-axis sensitivity. Mechanical misalignment of the
sensor die to the package is the chief source of cross-axis sensitivity.
Mechanical misalignment can, of course, be calibrated out at
the system level.
PERFORMANCE
Rather than using additional temperature compensation circuitry,
innovative design techniques ensure that high performance is
built-in to the ADXL327. As a result, there is neither quantization
error nor nonmonotonic behavior, and temperature hysteresis is
very low (typically <3 mg over the 25C to +70C temperature
range).

ADXL327

Rev. 0 | Page 11 of 16
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
POWER SUPPLY DECOUPLING
For most applications, a single 0.1 F capacitor, CDC, placed
close to the ADXL327 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. Additionally, a larger bulk bypass capacitor (1 F or
greater) can be added in parallel to CDC. Ensure that the
connection from the ADXL327 ground to the power supply
ground is low impedance because noise transmitted through
ground has a similar effect as noise transmitted through VS.
SETTING THE BANDWIDTH USING C
X
, C
Y
, AND C
Z

The ADXL327 has provisions for band limiting the XOUT,
YOUT, and ZOUT pins. Capacitors must be added at these pins to
implement low-pass filtering for antialiasing and noise reduction.
The 3 dB bandwidth equation is
f3 dB = 1/(2(32 k) C(X, Y, Z))
or more simply
f3 dB = 5 F/C(X, Y, Z)
The tolerance of the internal resistor (RFILT) typically varies as
much as 15% of its nominal value (32 k), and the bandwidth
varies accordingly. A minimum capacitance of 0.0047 F for CX,
CY, and CZ is recommended in all cases.

10 0.47
50 0.10
100 0.05
200 0.027
500 0.01

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 450 mV) in the X axis,
+1.08 g (+450 mV) on the Y axis, and +1.83 g (+770 mV) on
the Z axis. This ST pin can be left open circuit or connected to
common (COM) in normal use.
Never expose the ST pin to voltages greater than VS + 0.3 V. If
this cannot be guaranteed due to the system design (for instance,
there are multiple supply voltages), then a low VF clamping
diode between ST and VS is recommended.

DESIGN TRADE-OFFS FOR SELECTING FILTER
CHARACTERISTICS: THE NOISE/BW TRADE-OFF
The selected accelerometer bandwidth ultimately determines
the measurement resolution (smallest detectable acceleration).
Filtering can be used to lower the noise floor to improve the
resolution of the accelerometer. Resolution is dependent on the
analog filter bandwidth at XOUT, YOUT, and ZOUT.
The output of the ADXL327 has a typical bandwidth greater than
500 Hz. The user must filter the signal at this point to limit
aliasing errors. The analog bandwidth must be no more than
half the analog-to-digital sampling frequency to minimize
aliasing. The analog bandwidth can be further decreased to
reduce noise and improve resolution.
The ADXL327 noise has the characteristics of white Gaussian
noise, which contributes equally at all frequencies and is described
in terms of g/Hz (the noise is proportional to the square root
of the accelerometer bandwidth). The user should limit bandwidth
to the lowest frequency needed by the application to maximize the
resolution and dynamic range of the accelerometer.
With the single-pole roll-off characteristic, the typical noise of
the ADXL327 is determined by
rms Noise = Noise Density ) 1.6 ( BW
Often, the peak value of the noise is desired. Peak-to-peak noise
can only be estimated by statistical methods. Table 5 is useful
for estimating the probabilities of exceeding various peak
values, given the rms value.
Table 5. Estimation of Peak-to-Peak Noise

USE WITH OPERATING VOLTAGES OTHER THAN 3 V
The ADXL327 is tested and specified at VS = 3 V; however, it can be
powered with VS as low as 1.8 V or as high as 3.6 V. Note that some
performance parameters change as the supply voltage is varied.
The ADXL327 output is ratiometric; therefore, the output
sensitivity (or scale factor) varies proportionally to the supply
voltage. At VS = 3.6 V, the output sensitivity is typically 500 mV/g.
At VS = 2 V, the output sensitivity is typically 289 mV/g.
The zero g bias output is also ratiometric; therefore, the zero g
output is nominally equal to VS/2 at all supply voltages.
The output noise is not ratiometric but is absolute in volts;
therefore, the noise density decreases as the supply voltage
increases. This is because the scale factor (mV/g) increases while
the noise voltage remains constant. At VS = 3.6 V, the X- and Y-
axis noise density is typically 200 g/Hz, while at VS = 2 V, the
X- and Y-axis noise density is typically 300 g/Hz.

Self test response in g is roughly proportional to the square of
the supply voltage. However, when ratiometricity of sensitivity
is factored in with supply voltage, the self test response in volts
is roughly proportional to the cube of the supply voltage.
For example, at VS = 3.6 V, the self test response for the ADXL327
is approximately 780 mV for the X axis, +780 mV for the Y axis,
and +1330 mV for the Z axis. At VS = 2 V, the self test response
is approximately 130 mV for the X axis, +130 mV for the Y axis,
and 220 mV for the Z axis.
The supply current decreases as the supply voltage decreases.
Typical current consumption at VS = 3.6 V is 375 A, and
typical current consumption at VS = 2 V is 300 A.
