V connects to power supply and EN is pulsed DD To ensure the accelerometer is fully functional, connect the MMA8491Q as suggested in Figure 3. • A capacitor must be connected to the Bypass pin (pin 1) to assist the internal voltage regulator. It is recommended to use a 0.1 μF capacitor. The capacitor should be placed as near as possible to the Bypass pin. • The device power is supplied through the V line. The power supply decoupling DD capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the V pin. DD –Use a 1.0 or 4.7 μF capacitor when the V and EN are not tied together. DD –When V and EN are tied together, use a 0.1 μF capacitor. The 0.1 μF capacitor DD value has been chosen to minimize the average current consumption while still maintaining an acceptable level of power supply high frequency filtering. • Both ground pins (pins 6 and 7) must be connected to ground. 2 • When the I C communication line is used, use a pull-up resistor to connect to line SDA and SCL. The SCL line can be driven by a push-pull driver, in which case, no pull-up resistor is necessary. If SDA and SCL pins are not used, then they should be tied to ground. 9 Sensing direction and output response The MMA8491Q has three tilt detection outputs: Xout, Yout, and Zout.

NXP Semiconductors MMA8491Q 3-Axis Multifunction Digital Accelerometer 2 11 I C Interface 2 Acceleration data may be accessed through an I C interface, thus making the device particularly suitable for direct interfacing with a microcontroller. The MMA8491Q features three interrupt signals that indicate the tilt-sensing results on X, Y, Z axis respectively. 2 The raw accelerometer data are readable via I C at the same time when an interrupt signal is available. 2 The registers embedded inside the MMA8491Q are accessible through the I C serial 2 interface, Table 7. To enable the I C interface, the EN pin must be HIGH. If either EN or 2 2 V are absent, the MMA8491Q I C interface reads invalid data. The I C interface may DD 2 be used for communications along with other I C devices. Removing power from the V DD 2 pin of the MMA8491Q does not affect the I C bus. Table 7. Serial interface pins Pin Description 2 SCL I C Serial Clock 2 SDA I C Serial Data 2 There are two signals associated with the I C bus; the Serial Clock Line (SCL) and the Serial Data Line (SDA). The SDA is a bidirectional line used for sending and receiving the data to/from the interface. External pull-up resistors connected to V are expected DD 2 for SDA and SCL. When the bus is free both the lines are HIGH. The I C interface is compliant with Fast mode (400 kHz, Table 8). 2 Table 8.

NXP Semiconductors MMA8491Q 3-Axis Multifunction Digital Accelerometer [2] This device does not stretch the LOW period (tLOW) of the SCL signal. [3] Cb = total capacitance of one bus line in pF. [4] tVD;DAT = time for data signal from SCL LOW to SDA output (HIGH or LOW, depending on which one is worse). [5] tVD;ACK = time for Acknowledgement signal from SCL LOW to SDA output (HIGH or LOW, depending on which one is worse). 2 Figure 5. I C slave timing diagram 2 11.1 I C read operations The transaction on the bus is started through a start condition (START) signal. A START condition is defined as a HIGH-to-LOW transition on the data line while the SCL line is held HIGH. After START has been transmitted by the Master, the bus is considered busy. The next byte of data transmitted after START contains the slave address in the first seven bits, and the eighth bit tells whether the Master is receiving data from the slave or transmitting data to the slave. When an address is sent, each device in the system compares the first seven bits after a start condition with its address. If they match, then the device considers itself addressed by the Master. The ninth clock pulse, following the slave address byte, and each subsequent byte, is the acknowledge (ACK). The transmitter must release the SDA line during the ACK period. The receiver must then pull the data line LOW so that it remains stable low during the high period of the acknowledge clock period. A LOW-to-HIGH transition on SDA while SCL is HIGH is defined as a stop condition (STOP). A data transfer is always terminated by a STOP. A Master may also issue a repeated START during a data transfer. The MMA8491Q expects repeated STARTs to be used to randomly read from specific registers. The MMA8491Q accelerometer standard 7-bit slave address is 01010101(0x55). MMA8491Q All information provided in this document is subject to legal disclaimers. © NXP B.V. 2016.

NXP Semiconductors MMA8491Q 3-Axis Multifunction Digital Accelerometer 2 Table 9. I C device address sequence Command [7:1] Device [7:1] Device [0] R/W [7:0] 8-bit Address Address Final Value Read 01010101 0x55 1 0xAB Write 01010101 0x55 0 0xAA 11.1.1 Single-byte read The transmission of an 8-bit command begins on the falling edge of SCL. After the 8 clock cycles are used to send the command, note that the data returned is sent with the MSB first after the data is received. Figure 6 shows the timing diagram for the 2 accelerometer 8-bit I C read operation. 1. The Master (or MCU) transmits a start condition (ST) to the MMA8491Q, slave address (0x55), with the R/W bit set to “0” for a write, and the MMA8491Q sends an acknowledgement. 2. Then the Master (or MCU) transmits the address of the register to read and the MMA8491Q sends an acknowledgement. 3. The Master (or MCU) transmits a repeated start condition (SR) and then addresses the MMA8491Q (0x1D) with the R/ W bit set to 1 for a read from the previously selected register. 4. The Slave then acknowledges and transmits the data from the requested register. 5. The Master does not acknowledge (NAK) the transmitted data, but transmits a stop condition to end the data transfer. 11.1.2 Multiple-byte read When performing a multiple-byte read or burst read, the MMA8491Q automatically increments the received register address commands after a read command is received. Therefore, after following the steps of a single-byte read, multiple bytes of data can be read from sequential registers after each MMA8491Q acknowledgment (AK) is received, until a no acknowledge (NAK) occurs from the Master, followed by a stop condition (SP) signaling an end of transmission.

NXP Semiconductors MMA8491Q 3-Axis Multifunction Digital Accelerometer Mode Conditions Function description Digital output state ACTIVE V = ON All blocks are enabled. Deasserted, Xout = 0, Yout= 0, Zout = 0 DD EN = High Device enters Standby mode automatically after data conversion. 2 STANDBY V = ON Only digital output subsystem is enabled. Active, I C outputs become valid DD EN = High Data is valid and available only in this stage. 12.1 ACTIVE mode The accelerometer subsystem is turned on at the rising edge of the EN pin, and acquires one sample for each of the three axes. Note that EN should not be asserted before V DD reaches 1.95 V. Samples are acquired, converted, and compensated for zero-g offset and gain errors, and then compared to an internal threshold value of 0.688 g and stored. • If any of the X, Y, Z axes sample’s absolute value > this threshold, then the corresponding outputs on these axes drive logic highs. • If any of the X, Y, Z axes sample’s absolute value ≤ this threshold, then the corresponding outputs on these axes drive logic lows. Read register 00h in this stage to determine whether the sample data is ready to be read. 12.2 STANDBY mode The device enters STANDBY mode automatically after the previously described function (powers into SHUTDOWN mode, ACTIVE mode) is accomplished. The digital output 2 system outputs valid data, which can also be read via the I C communication bus. This is the appropriate phase to read the measured data, either from the three push-pull logic 2 outputs or through the I C transaction. All other subsystems are turned off. These outputs are held until the MMA8491Q operation mode changes. For lower power consumption, deassert the EN pin as soon as data is read (to enter SHUTDOWN mode). 12.3 Next sample acquisition The MMA8491Q needs to be brought back to the ACTIVE mode again by pulling EN pin up to a Logic 1. Another option is to power down the device and start from OFF mode as illustrated in Figure 7. For applications where sampling intervals are greater than 30 seconds, the host can shut off the tilt sensor power after acquisition of tilt sensor output data to conserve energy and prolong battery life. 12.4 Power-up timing sequences The power-up timing sequence for MMA84591Q is shown in the following figure, where V is powered and the EN pin is activated to acquire a single sample. Additional DD samples can be acquired by repeating the EN pulse. MMA8491Q All information provided in this document is subject to legal disclaimers. © NXP B.V. 2016.

MMA8491Q timing sequence t is the time between EN to the end of ACTIVE stage, after which the newly acquired ON sample data is available. 12.5 45° tilt detection The output value changes according to the absolute value of the acceleration of the MMA8491Q compared to the threshold: • When the acceleration’s absolute value > the threshold 0.688 g, the output = 1. • When the acceleration’s absolute value ≤ the threshold, the output = 0. For example, • When the MMA8491Q is set on a table, it senses 1 g acceleration on Z-axis and senses 0 g on X- and Y-axes. • When the MMA8491Q is flipped upside down on the table, it senses –1 g acceleration on Z-axis and senses 0 g on X- and Y-axes. In both cases Xout = 0, Yout = 0, and Zout = 1. 12.6 Tilt angle Tilt angles can be calculated from the g-value threshold using the equation below. The tilt threshold is 0.688 g, which corresponds to 43.5°. Figure 9 illustrates the tilt angle threshold. ( g - v a lu e ) Tilt Angle= asin ------------------- 1g • When 0 g acceleration is present on an axis, the tilt angle = 0°; when 1 g acceleration is present on an axis, the tilt angle = 90°. • When the tilt angle > the tilt threshold, the output for the axis is HIGH; when the tilt angle ≤ the tilt threshold, the output for the axis is LOW.

NXP Semiconductors MMA8491Q 3-Axis Multifunction Digital Accelerometer 14 Mounting guidelines Surface-mount printed circuit board (PCB) layout is a critical portion of the total design. The footprint for the surface mount package must be the correct size to ensure proper solder connection interface between the PCB and the package. With the correct footprint, the package will self-align when subjected to a solder reflow process. The purpose is to minimize the stress on the package after board mounting. The MMA8491Q accelerometers use the QFN package. This section describes suggested methods of soldering and mounting these devices to the PCB for consumer applications. 14.1 Overview of soldering considerations The information provided here is based on experiments executed on QFN devices. They do not represent exact conditions present at a customer site. Therefore, information herein should be used as guidance only, and process and design optimizations are recommended to develop an application specific solution. It should be noted that with the proper PCB footprint and solder stencil designs, the package will self-align during the solder reflow process. 14.2 Halogen content This package is designed to be Halogen Free, exceeding most industry and customer standards. Halogen Free means that no homogeneous material within the assembly package shall contain chlorine (Cl) in excess of 700 ppm or 0.07% weight/weight or bromine (Br) in excess of 900 ppm or 0.09% weight/weight. 14.3 PCB mounting recommendations • Do not solder down the six exposed pads under the package, thus minimizing board- mounting stress impact to product performance. • PCB landing pad is 0.675 mm x 0.325 mm as shown in Figure 10. • Solder mask opening = PCB land pad edge + 0.2 mm larger all around. • Stencil opening size is 0.625 mm x 0.3 mm. • Stencil thickness is 100 μm or 125 μm. • The solder mask should not cover any of the PCB landing pads, as shown in Figure 10. • No additional via nor metal pattern underneath package on the top of the PCB layer. • Do not place any components or vias within 2 mm of the package land area. This may cause additional package stress if it is too close to the package land area. • Signal traces connected to pads should be as symmetric as possible. Put dummy traces on NC pads, to have the same length of exposed trace for all pads. • Use a standard pick-and-place process and equipment. Do not use a hand soldering process. • Customers are advised to be cautious about the proximity of screw-down holes to the sensor, and the location of any press fit to the assembled PCB when in an enclosure. It is important that the assembled PCB remain flat after assembly to keep electronic operation of the device optimal. • The PCB should be rated for the multiple lead-free reflow condition with a maximum 260 °C temperature. • NXP sensors are compliant with Restrictions on Hazardous Substances (RoHS), having halide-free molding compound (green) and lead-free terminations.
