The 2g version is ideally suited for seismic applications. Each miniature, hermetically sealed package combines a micro-machined capacitive sense element and a custom integrated circuit that includes a sense amplifier and differential output stage. It is relatively insensitive to temperature changes and gradients. Each device is marked with a serial number on its bottom surface for traceability. An optional calibration test sheet (1221-TST) is also available which lists the measured bias, scale factor, linearity, operating current and frequency response. OPERATION The Model 1221 produces two analog output voltages, which vary with acceleration as shown in the figure below. The outputs can be used either in differential or single ended mode. Two reference voltages, +5.0 and +2.5 volts (nominal), are required; the output scale factor is ratiometric to the +5 volt reference voltage, and both outputs at zero acceleration are nominally +2.5 volts. The sensitive axis is perpendicular to the bottom of the package, with positive acceleration defined as a force pushing on the bottom of the package. • Seismic Monitoring • Earthquake Detection • Security Systems • Machine Control • Modal Analysis • Instrumentation • Appliances • Robotics • Crash Testing • Vibration Monitoring • Vibration Analysis • Vehicle Dynamics OUTPUT VOLTAGE 5 APPLICATIONS 4 AO N P AO 3 2 1 0 -Full Scale 0 + Full Scale ACCELERATION 0.350 "L" SUFFIX PACKAGE 0.350 Positive Acceleration 0.350 0.105 "J" SUFFIX PACKAGE 0.350 Positive Acceleration 0.165 SPECIFICATIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE th Silicon Designs, Inc. • 13905 NE 128 Street, Kirkland WA 98034 • Phone: 425-391-8329 • Fax: 425-391-0446 www.silicondesigns.com [page 1] September 2012

Model 1221 + 5V INTERNAL TEMPERATURE SENSING 0.1 uF 11 14 3 9 The model 1221 accelerometer contains a temperature dependent VDD VR current source that is output on pin 8. This signal is useful for 5K 4 IT 8 VT measuring the internal temperature of the accelerometer so that any DV 1221x-xxx AOP 12 previously characterized bias and scale factor temperature 17 RT 2.5V 16 dependence, for a particular accelerometer, can be corrected. The AO N 2K G ND nominal output current at 25°C is ≈500 (±200) μA and the nominal 5K .01uF 2 5 19 6 18 sensitivity is 1.5 (±0.5) μA/°C. Fluctuations in VDD & VR have...

Model 1221 BIAS STABILITY CONSIDERATIONS Bias temperature hysteresis can be minimized by temperature cycling your model 1221 accelerometer after it has been soldered to your circuit board. If possible, the assembled device should be exposed to ten cycles from -40 to +85°C minimum (-55 to +125°C recommended). The orientation to the Earth's gravitational field during temperature cycling should preferably be in the same orientation as it will be in the final application. The accelerometer does not need to have power applied during this temperature cycling. PACKAGE DIMENSIONS "L" SUFFIX PACKAGE (20...

Model 1221 Pre-Tinning of Accelerometer Leads is Recommended: To prevent gold migration embrittlement of the solder joints, it is best to pre-tin the accelerometer leads. We recommend tinning one lead at a time, to prevent excessive heating of the accelerometer, using a fine-tipped solder iron and solder wire. The solder bath method of pre-tinning is not recommended due to the high degree of heat the interior of the device gets subjected to which may cause permanent shifts in the bias and/or scale factor. Hotplate Attach Method using Solder Paste or Solder Wire: Apply solder to the circuit board’s...
