About ADXL1004 &ADXL354 VRE & detection range

Category: Hardware
Product Number: ADXL1004, ADXL354

Hi


I'm considering accelerometers such as the ADXL354 and ADXL1004.
I have two questions about this.

①Does the vibration rectification error (VRE) occur at a constant rate to the sensor full scale?
 Is there a difference between the high accelerometer (ADXL1004) and the low accelerometer (ADXL354)?

②What are the specifications of the detection range when the analog output ADXL series is used with AC coupling?

 (Example: Specification range - gravitational acceleration g - vibration rectification error VRE = detection range?)

  • Hi  , 

    1) I dont understand your first question. Can you please explain? what do you mean by " a constant rate "? The higher the sensor full scale range, the lower the VRE effect. 

    2) the range is still the DS specified range. AC coupling just removes DC component electrically. Mechanically, the MEMS sensor still detects DC.

  • Hi, Pablo

    Thank you for your reply.

    I thought that a constant rate might be an indicator such as VRE being about XX% of the full scale.

    Does the ADXL354, ADXL1002, and ADXL1004 have a VRE index of XX% of full scale?

    I would like to know the worst case VRE value for ADXL354, ADXL1002, ADXL1004.

    Best regards,

  • I agree with  : what do you mean by "rate."  Normally, we see that reference with gyroscopes, where the intention is the indicate angular rate of rotation.  Are you referring to constant acceleration? 

    Also, the ADXL354 is not the product you want to use, if VRE is a strong consideration.  I would recommend considering the ADXL356 instead, where the VRE is approximately 100ug/g2. up to the point at which saturation starts. 

    We might have some data on the ADXL1002 and ADXL1004, but will not be in a position to quantify a maximum. Is this application still active? 

    Thank you!  

  • Hi  , 

    As I mentioned before, typically, the higher the acceleration range of the accelerometer, the lower the VRE effect. I am curious why you are comparing ADXL354 with ADXL1002 and ADXL1004? the g ranges are completely different. 

    I agree with Mark that ADXL354 is not the right product if you are looking for low VRE.
