Sensitivity calibration error
Sensitivity temperature error
Pin #1
Sensitivity is calculated by
Equation 3
where Sens
reading [counts] in +1 g position and Output
position.
Sensitivity calibration error is the difference between sensor’s measured sensitivity and the nominal
sensitivity at room temperature conditions. Error is calculated by
Equation 4
where Sens
sensitivity [counts/g] at room temperature conditions and Sens is sensor’s nominal sensitivity
[counts/g].
Sensitivity temperature error is the difference between sensor’s sensitivity at different temperatures
and the calibrated sensitivity. Error is calculated by
Equation 5
where Sens
axis@T
measured Y-axis sensitivity [counts/g] at room temperature RT.
The needed accurate input acceleration in linearity characterization is generated using centrifugal
force in centrifuge, see Figure 20. The RPM of the centrifuge is swept so that wanted input
acceleration values are applied in parallel to the sensor’s measuring axis.
