The MEMSIC MXC6232xMP is a general porpose high-performance XY thermal accelerometer. Its operation is based on our patented MEMS-thermal technology which provides key beneficial operating characteristics for many industrial and consumer applications. Thermal MEMS sensing technology provides unsurpassed vibration immunity with an inherent low-pass frequency response of 17Hz eliminating errors attributable to out-of-band and not-of-interest higher frequency accelerations. For demanding applications performance can be increased through a secondary temperature calibration because it has excellent repeatability before and after mechanical shock events and no has temperature hysteresis. Temperature is available over the I2C interface. It is built monolithically using a standard 0.6um CMOS process. There are truly no moving parts and no error causing sensor structure resonances thus providing more accurate acceleration measurements with lower field failures than competitive technology. It is well suited for all low-g acceleration measurement applications. Acceleration and temperature outputs are available over the I2C interface.
