A 1. Measure the output voltage. band limiting filter at the output provides suppression of out of 2. Turn on self test by setting the ST pin to VDD. band noise and signal. A capacitive load between 100 pF and 3. Measure the output again. 22 nF is recommended. 4. Subtract the two readings and compare the result to the The output amplifier can drive resistive loads up to 2 mA of source expected value from Table 1, while factoring in the current, for example greater than 2.5 kΩ for 5 V operation. If response curve due to supply voltage, if necessary, from the output is to drive a capacitive load greater than or equal to Figure 23. 100 pF, a series resistor of at least 8 kΩ is required to maintain The self test function can be activated at any point during the amplifier stability. normal operation by setting the ST pin to VDD. Self test takes When inactive, the ST and STANDBY pins are forced low. The approximately 300 µs from the assertion of the ST pin to a overrange indicator is an output that can be monitored to result, and acceleration outputs return approximately 300 µs identify the status of the system. after the release of the ST pin. While performing the self test OPTIONAL measurement, do not use the accelerometer output to measure LOW-PASS FILTER external acceleration.

This function electrostatically voltage VDD; therefore, the output sensitivity (or scale factor) actuates the accelerometer proof mass, resulting in a displacement varies proportionally to the supply voltage.

The proof mass displacement is processed by the same signal processing circuitry as a true acceleration output signal, The zero g bias output is ratiometric also and is nominally providing complete coverage of both the electrical and mechanical midscale relative to the supply voltage (VDD/2). responses of the sensor system.
