GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADXL1001/ADXL1002 deliver ultralow noise density over an
extended frequency range with two full-scale range options, and are
optimized for industrial condition monitoring. The ADXL1001 (±100
g) and the ADXL1002 (±50 g) have typical noise densities of 30
µg/√Hz and 25 µg/√Hz, respectively. Both accelerometer devices
have stable and repeatable sensitivity, which is immune to external
shocks up to 10,000 g.
The ADXL1001/ADXL1002 have an integrated full electrostatic self
test (ST) function and an overrange (OR) indicator that allow
advanced system level features and are useful for embedded
applications. With low power and single-supply operation of 3 V
to 5.25 V, the ADXL1001/ADXL1002 also enable wireless sensing
product design. The ADXL1001/ADXL1002 are available in a 5 mm
× 5 mm × 1.80 mm LFCSP package, and are rated for operation
over a −40°C to +125°C temperature range.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADXL1001/ADXL1002 are high frequency, low noise single-axis microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers that
provide an analog output that is proportional to mechanical vibration. The ADXL1001/ADXL1002 have high g ranges of 100 g and
50 g and are suitable for vibration measurements in high bandwidth
applications such as vibration analysis systems that monitor and
diagnose machine or system health.
the differential capacitor, resulting in a sensor output with an amplitude proportional to acceleration. Phase-sensitive demodulation
determines the magnitude and polarity of the acceleration.
OPERATING MODES
The ADXL1001/ADXL1002 have two operating modes: measurement mode and standby mode. Measurement mode provides a
continuous analog output for active monitoring. Standby mode is a
nonoperational, low power mode.
The low noise and high frequency bandwidth allows the measurement of vibration patterns caused by small moving parts, such as
internal bearings, and the high g range provides the dynamic range
to be used in high vibration environments such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and heavy machine equipment. To
achieve proper performance, be aware of system noise, mounting,
and signal conditioning.
Measurement Mode
System noise is affected by supply voltage noise. The analog output of the ADXL1001/ADXL1002 is a ratiometric output; therefore,
supply voltage modulation affects the output. Use a properly decoupled stable supply voltage to power the ADXL1001/ADXL1002 and
to provide a reference voltage for the digitizing system.
Standby
The output signal is impacted by an overrange stimulus. An overload indicator output feature is provided to indicate a condition that
is critical for an intelligent measurement system. For more information about the overrange features, see the Overrange section.
Proper mounting is required to ensure full mechanical transfer of
vibration to accurately measure the desired vibration rather than
vibration of the measurement system, including the sensor. A common technique for high frequency mechanical coupling is to utilize
a sensor stud mount system while considering the mechanical
interface of fixing the ADXL1001/ADXL1002 in the stud. For lower
frequencies (below the full capable bandwidth of the sensor), it
is possible to use magnetic or adhesive mounting. Proper mounting technique ensures proper and repeatable results that are not
influenced by measurement system mechanical resonances and/or
damping at the desired frequency, and represents an efficient and
proper mechanical transfer to the system being monitored.
Proper application specific signal conditioning is require to achieve
optimal results. An understanding of measurement frequency range
and managing overload condition is important to achieve accurate
results. The electrical output signal of the ADXL1001/ADXL1002
requires some band limiting and proper digitization bandwidth. See
the Interfacing Analog Output Below 10 KHz section and the Interfacing Analog Output Beyond 10 KHz section for more information.
Measurement mode is the normal operating mode of the
ADXL1001/ADXL1002. In this mode, the accelerometer actively
measures acceleration along the axis of sensitivity and consumes
1.0 mA (typical) using a 5.0 V supply.
Placing the ADXL1001/ADXL1002 in standby mode suspends the
measurement with internal reduction of current consumption to 225
µA (typical for 5.0 V supply). The transition time from standby
to measurement mode is <50 µs. The transition from standby to
measure mode is shown in Figure 18.
BANDWIDTH
The ADXL1001/ADXL1002 circuitry supports an output signal bandwidth beyond the resonant frequency of the sensor, measuring acceleration over a bandwidth comparable to the resonant frequency
of the sensor. The output response is a combination of the sensor
response and the output amplifier response. Therefore, external
band limiting or filtering is required; see the Interfacing Analog
Output Below 10 KHz section and the Interfacing Analog Output
Beyond 10 KHz section for more information.
When using the ADXL1001/ADXL1002 beyond 10 kHz, consider
the nonlinearity due to the resonance frequency of the sensor, the
additional noise due to the wideband output of the amplifier, and
the discrete frequency spurious tone due to coupling of the internal
200 kHz clock. Aliased interferers in the desired band cannot
be removed, and observed performance degrades. A combination
of high speed sampling and appropriate band limiting filtering is
required for optimal performance.
MECHANICAL DEVICE OPERATION
The moving component of 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 differential capacitors
that consist of independent fixed plates and plates attached to the
moving mass. Acceleration deflects the structure and unbalances

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
APPLICATION CIRCUIT
For most applications, a single 1 µF capacitor adequately decouples the accelerometer from noise on the power supply. A band
limiting filter at the output provides suppression of out of band
noise and signal. A capacitive load between 100 pF and 22 nF is
recommended.
The self test function can be activated at any point during normal
operation by setting the ST pin to VDD. Self test takes approximately
300 µs from the assertion of the ST pin to a result, and acceleration
outputs return approximately 300 µs after the release of the ST
pin. While performing the self test measurement, do not use the
accelerometer output to measure external acceleration.
The output amplifier can drive resistive loads up to 2 mA of source
current, for example greater than 2.5 kΩ for 5 V operation. If the
output is to drive a capacitive load greater than or equal to 100 pF,
a series resistor of at least 8 kΩ is required to maintain the amplifier
stability.
When inactive, the ST and STANDBY pins are forced low. The
overrange indicator is an output that can be monitored to identify
the status of the system.

RATIOMETRIC OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The ADXL1001/ADXL1002 are tested and specified at VDD = 5.0
V; however, it can be powered with VDD as low as 3 V or as high
as 5.25 V. Some performance parameters change as the supply
voltage is varied.
Figure 22. ADXL1001/ADXL1002 Application Circuit
ON DEMAND SELF TEST
A fully integrated electromechanical self test function is designed
into the ADXL1001/ADXL1002. This function electrostatically actuates the accelerometer proof mass, resulting in a displacement of
the capacitive sense fingers. This displacement is equivalent to the
displacement that occurs as a result of external acceleration input.
The proof mass displacement is processed by the same signal
processing circuitry as a true acceleration output signal, providing
complete coverage of both the electrical and mechanical responses
of the sensor system.
The ADXL1001/ADXL1002 output is ratiometric to the supply voltage VDD; therefore, the output sensitivity (or scale factor) varies
proportionally to the supply voltage. At VDD = 5.0 V, the output
sensitivity is typically 40 mV/g and 20 mV/g in the ADXL1002 and
ADXL1001, respectively.
The zero g bias output is ratiometric also and is nominally midscale
relative to the supply voltage (VDD/2).
The self test feature can be exercised by the user with the following
steps:
1. Measure the output voltage.
2. Turn on self test by setting the ST pin to VDD.
3. Measure the output again.
4. Subtract the two readings and compare the result to the expected value from Table 1, while factoring in the response curve due
to supply voltage, if necessary, from Figure 23.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
INTERFACING ANALOG OUTPUT BELOW 10
KHZ
The ADXL1001/ADXL1002 sense mechanical motion along a single
axis and produces a voltage output. The system performance
depends on the output response that is a result of mechanical
vibration sensed and signal processing of the electrical output.
The sensor must be effectively mechanically coupled. Mechanical
coupling can be a complex integration of multiple components,
typically unique for each application. Consideration must be made
for all mechanical interfaces including the mounting of the MEMS
to the PCB (location on the PCB as well as solder chemistry), the
size of the PCB (both thickness and active surface area), and the
mounting of the PCB to the system being monitored (either in a
module or directly mounted).
In general, the following guidelines for effective mechanical interface must be used to support up to 10 kHz bandwidth:
► Keep the ADXL1001/ADXL1002 near a stable mechanical
mounting on the PCB.
► Provide multiple hard mounting points.
► Keep the PCB thick and avoid a large surface area PCB that
The ADXL1001/ADXL1002 output amplifier is stable while driving
capacitive loads up to 100 pF directly without a series resistor. At
loads greater than 100 pF, an 8 kΩ series resistor or greater must
be used.
See Figure 25 for an example of the interface including components
when measuring mechanical vibration from 0 kHz to 5 kHz, using
the AD4000 ADC. For a 5 kHz pass band, a single-pole RC
filter is acceptable; however, in some applications, use a more
aggressive filter and lower sample rate. The following components
are recommended to form a two-pole RC filter at the output of
the ADXL1001/ADXL1002: R1 = 91 kΩ, C1 = 330 pF, R2 = 0 Ω,
and C2 = not required. A minimum ADC sample rate of 16 kHz is
recommended to avoid aliasing.
See Figure 25 for an example of the interface including components
when measuring mechanical vibration from 0 kHz to 10 kHz. The
following components are recommended to form a two-pole RC
filter at the output of the ADXL1001/ADXL1002: R1 = 16 kΩ, C1 =
300 pF, R2 = 32 kΩ, and C2 = 300 pF. A minimum ADC sample
rate of 32 kHz is recommended to avoid aliasing. The two-pole RC
filter produces an attenuation of approximately 84 dB at 200 kHz,
the internal clock frequency.
induces higher magnitude and lower frequency resonances.
► Ensure the mechanical connection is sufficiently stiff to transfer
mechanical forces up to the desired frequency. Below 10 kHz,
magnetic and adhesive mounting is possible with proper attention. The EVAL-ADXL1001Z and the EVAL-ADXL1002Z evaluation boards can be used as a reference.
The ADXL1001/ADXL1002 electrical output supports a bandwidth
beyond the resonance of the sensor. The small signal bandwidth of
the output amplifier in the ADXL1001/ADXL1002 is 70 kHz. During
the digitization process, aliasing, which is the folding of higher
frequency noise and signals into the desired band, can occur. To
avoid aliasing noise from the amplifier and other internal circuits (for
example, coupling of the internal 200 kHz clock), it is recommended
that an external filter be implemented at the desired bandwidth
and the chosen ADC sampling rate be faster than the amplifier
bandwidth.
The output amplifier is ratiometric to the supply voltage, and there
are two distinct cases regarding digital conversion, as follows:
► The user has an analog-to-digital (ADC) downstream of the
accelerometer that can use the VDD voltage as a reference. In
this case, the voltage supply tolerance and voltage temperature
coefficient (commonly associated with external regulators) tracks
between the sensor and the ADC and, therefore, the supply
and reference voltage induced error cancels out. This design
approach is recommended.
► If the ADC cannot reference the same 5 V supply as the sensor
for any reason, the sensitivity of the digitized sensor output
reflects the regulator tolerance and temperature coefficient.

INTERFACING ANALOG OUTPUT BEYOND 10
KHZ
The ADXL1001/ADXL1002 are high frequency, single-axis MEMS
accelerometer devices that provide an output signal pass band
beyond the resonance frequency range of the sensor. Although
the output 3 dB frequency response bandwidth is approximately 11
kHz (note that this is a 3 dB response, meaning there is a gain
in sensitivity at this frequency), in some cases, it is desirable to
observe frequency beyond this range. To accommodate this, the
ADXL1001/ADXL1002 output amplifier supports a 70 kHz small
signal bandwidth, which is well beyond the resonant frequency of
the sensor.
Although a mechanical interface is always important to achieve
accurate and repeatable results in MEMS applications, it is critical
in cases when measuring greater than a few kilohertz. Typically,
magnetic and adhesive mounting are not sufficient to maintain

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
proper mechanical transfer of vibration through these frequencies.
Mechanical system analysis is required for these applications.
When using the ADXL1001/ADXL1002 beyond 10 kHz, consider
the nonlinearity due to the resonance frequency of the sensor,
the additional noise due to the wideband output of the amplifier,
and the discrete frequency spurious tone due to coupling of the
internal 200 kHz clock. If any of these interferers alias in the desired
band, it cannot be removed and observed performance degrades.
A combination of high speed sampling and appropriate filtering is
required for optimal performance.
range). Built in overrange detection circuitry provides an alert to
indicate a significant overrange event occurred that is greater than
approximately 2× the specified g range. When an overrange is
detected, the internal clock is disabled to the sensor for 200 µs
to maximize protection of the sensor element during an overrange
event. If a sustained overrange event is encountered, the overrange
detection circuitry triggers periodically, approximately every 500 µs.
The first consideration is the effect of the sensor resonance frequency at 21 kHz. Approaching and above this frequency, the
output response to an input stimulus peaks, as shown in Figure 4.
At frequencies near or above the resonance, the output response
is outside the linear response range and, therefore, the sensitivity
is different than observed at lower frequencies. In these frequency
ranges, the relative response (as opposed to absolute value) over
time is typically observed.
The ADXL1001/ADXL1002 output amplifier small signal bandwidth
is 70 kHz. The user must properly interface to the device with
proper signal filtering to avoid issues with out of band noise aliasing
into the desired band. The amplifier frequency response roll off
can be modeled as a single-pole, low-pass filter at 70 kHz. In the
absence of additional external low-pass filtering, to avoid aliasing
of high frequency noise, choose a sampling rate of at least twice
the equivalent noise bandwidth (ENBW) for a single-pole, low-pass
filter, as follows:
ENBW
7 0 kH z 11 0 kH z
2
(1)
That is, sampling rate must be at least 220 kHz. This sample
rate addresses reducing broadband noise due to the amplifier from
folding back (aliasing) in-band, but does not prevent out of band
signals from aliasing in-band. To prevent out of band responses,
additional external low-pass filtering is required.

MECHANICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR
MOUNTING
Mount the ADXL1001/ADXL1002 on the PCB in a location close
to a hard mounting point of the PCB. Mounting the ADXL1001/
ADXL1002 at an unsupported PCB location, as shown in Figure 27,
may result in large, apparent measurement errors due to undamped
PCB vibration. Placing the accelerometer near a hard mounting
point ensures that any PCB vibration at the accelerometer is above
the mechanical sensor resonant frequency of the accelerometer
and, therefore, effectively invisible to the accelerometer. Multiple
mounting points, close to the sensor, and a thicker PCB also help
to reduce the effect of system resonance on the performance of the
sensor.
Another issue that must be addressed is the coupling of the internal
clock signal at 200 kHz onto the output signal. This clock spur
must be filtered by analog or digital filtering so as not to affect the
analysis of results.
For example, to achieve the lowest rms noise and noise density
for extended bandwidth applications, it is recommended to use at
least a multiple order low-pass filter at the output of the ADXL1001/
ADXL1002 and a digitization sample rate of at least 4× the desired
bandwidth, assuming sufficient filtering of the 200 kHz internal clock
signal. Use an ADC sample rate of 1 MSPS or greater along with
digital low-pass filtering to achieve similar performance.
