General Description
Introduction
Operation modes
Measurement
Motion Detection
SCA3060 is a three axis accelerometer targeted for non-safety critical automotive applications
requiring high performance with low power consumption. It consists of a 3D-MEMS sensing
element and a signal conditioning ASIC packaged into Dual Flat Lead (DFL) housing.
The sensing element is manufactured using proprietary bulk 3D-MEMS process, which enables
robust, stable and low noise & power capacitive sensors.
Sensors are factory calibrated and the trimmed parameters are gain, offset and frequency of the
internal oscillator. Calibration parameters will be read automatically from the internal non-volatile
memory during sensor startup.
The SCA3060 is in normal measurement mode by default after start up. The sensor offers
acceleration information via SPI or I
one axis acceleration or all three axis acceleration depending on the application.
Motion Detection (MD) mode is intended to be used to save system level power consumption. In
this mode, the SCA3060 activates an interrupt via the INT-pin when motion is detected. Sensitivity
levels can be configured via the SPI or I
be defined using sensitivity directions with AND / OR / mux logic. Once the interrupt has happened,
the detected direction can be read out from the corresponding status register.
Normal acceleration information is not available in MD mode.
