Self test takes The output amplifier can drive resistive loads up to 2 mA of approximately 300 µs from the assertion of the ST pin to a source current, for example a load greater than 2.5 kΩ for 5 V result. Acceleration outputs return approximately 300 µs after operation. If the output is to drive a capacitive load greater than the release of the ST pin. While performing the self test or equal to 100 pF, a series resistor of at least 8 kΩ is required to measurement, do not use the accelerometer output to measure maintain the amplifier stability. external acceleration. 100 When inactive, the ST and STANDBY pins are forced low.

Typical Self Test Delta vs. Supply Voltage ADXL1004RATIOMETRIC OUTPUT VOLTAGEOR The ADXL1004 was tested and specified at VDD = 5.0 V; however, it can be powered with VDD as low as 3.3 V or as high as 5.25 V. Some performance parameters change as the supply voltage is varied.
