Measuring directions in parallel to mounting plane, arrows showing positive acceleration direction. Zero point specified as Voffset = Vout(0 g) [ V ]. See note 12. Sensitivity specified as Vsens = {Vout(+1 g) - Vout(-1 g)}/2 [ V/g ]. See note 12. Zero point error specified as Zero point error = {Vout(0 g) - Vdd/2} / Vsens [ g ] VSens = Nominal sensitivity Vdd/2 = Nominal offset. Sensitivity error specified as Sensitivity error = { [Vout(+1 g)-Vout(-1 g)] / 2 - Vsens_nom} / Vsens_nom x 100 % [% ] Vsens_nom = nominal sensitivity See note 12. From straight line through +1 g and -1 g points. The output has true DC (0 Hz) response. The ratiometric error is specified as: RE = 100% x 1- Note 10 The cross-axis sensitivity determines how much acceleration, perpendicular to the measuring axis, couples to the output. The total crossaxis sensitivity is the geometric sum of the sensitivities of the two axis which are perpendicular to the measuring axis. The angular alignment error between channels 1 and 2 is included into the cross axis error. Typical figure. In addition, supply voltage noise couples to the output due to the ratiometric nature of the accelerometer. Measuring directions.

If ST feature is not used pins 9 and 10 must be left floating or connected to GND. INTERCHANGEABILITY WITH SCA610 / SCA620 When SCA1000 / 1020 is used in Analog mode and the PCB is designed correctly the SCA610 / 620 and SCA1000 / 1020 are interchangeable. If the PCB layout is designed for SCA1000 /1020, then SCA610 / 620 can be used for single axis applications. The output of SCA610 / 620 corresponds to the output of channel 1 in the SCA1000 / 1020.
