The KXTIK is a tri-axis +/-2g, +/-4g or +/-8g silicon

micromachined accelerometer with integrated orientation,

tap/double tap, and activity detecting algorithms. The sense

element is fabricated using Kionix’s proprietary plasma

micromachining process technology. Acceleration sensing is

based on the principle of a differential capacitance arising

from acceleration-induced motion of the sense element,

which further utilizes common mode cancellation to decrease

errors from process variation, temperature, and

mm LGA plastic package operating from a 1.8 – 3.6V DC supply. Voltage regulators are used to

maintain constant internal operating voltages over the range of input supply voltages. This results in

stable operating characteristics over the range of input supply voltages and virtually undetectable

ratiometric error. I
