and low frequencies. The high pass filter cut-off frequency can be set by the user to four different frequencies which are
dependent on the Output Data Rate (ODR). A higher cut-off frequency ensures the DC data or slower moving data will be filtered
out, allowing only the higher frequencies to pass. The embedded Transient Detection function uses the high pass filtered data
allowing the user to set the threshold and debounce counter. The transient detection feature can be used in the same manner as
the motion detection by bypassing the high pass filter. There is an option in the configuration register to do this. This adds more
flexibility to cover various customer use cases.
due to gravity only. These functions benefit from acceleration data being filtered with a low pass filter where high frequency data is
considered noise. However, there are many functions where the accelerometer must analyze dynamic acceleration. Functions
such as tap, flick, shake and step counting are based on the analysis of the change in the acceleration. It is simpler to interpret
these functions dependent on dynamic acceleration data when the static component has been removed. The Transient Detection
function can be routed to either interrupt pin through bit 5 in CTRL_REG5 register (0x2E). Registers 0x1D – 0x20 are the
dedicated Transient Detection configuration registers. The source register contains directional data to determine the direction of
the acceleration, either positive or negative. For details on the benefits of the embedded Transient Detection function along with
specific application examples and recommended configuration settings, please refer to Freescale application note, AN4071.

setting the pulse time width and the latency time between pulses. There are programmable thresholds for all three axes. The tap
detection can be configured to run through the high pass filter and also through a low pass filter, which provides more customizing
and tunable tap detection schemes. The status register provides updates on the axes where the event was detected and the
direction of the tap. For more information on how to configure the device for tap detection please refer to Freescale application
note AN4072.

MMA8453Q
The MMA8453Q has a built-in high pass filter. Acceleration data goes through the high pass filter, eliminating the offset (DC)
Many applications use the accelerometer’s static acceleration readings (i.e., tilt) which measure the change in acceleration
The MMA8453Q has embedded single/double and directional tap detection. This function has various customizing timers for
The MMA8453Q has an orientation detection algorithm with the ability to detect all 6 orientations. The transition from portrait
The angle at which the device no longer detects the orientation change is referred to as the “Z-Lockout angle”. The device
