DESCRIPTION
The Model 1221 is a low-cost, integrated accelerometer for use in zero to medium frequency instrumentation applications that
require extremely low noise. The 2g version is ideally suited for seismic applications. Each miniature, hermetically sealed
package combines a micro-machined capacitive sense element and a custom integrated circuit that includes a sense amplifier
and differential output stage. It is relatively insensitive to temperature changes and gradients. Each device is marked with a
serial number on its bottom surface for traceability. An optional calibration test sheet (1221-TST) is also available which lists
the measured bias, scale factor, linearity, operating current and frequency response.
OPERATION
The Model 1221 produces two analog output voltages, which vary with acceleration as shown in the figure below. The outputs
can be used either in differential or single ended mode. Two reference voltages, +5.0 and +2.5 volts (nominal), are required; the
output scale factor is ratiometric to the +5 volt reference voltage, and both outputs at zero acceleration are nominally +2.5
volts. The sensitive axis is perpendicular to the bottom of the package, with positive acceleration defined as a force pushing on
the bottom of the package.
