Overload Response

3.11.1

Overload Performance

The device is designed to operate within a specified range. Acceleration beyond that range (overload) impacts the output of

the sensor. Acceleration beyond the range of the device can generate a DC shift at the output of the device that is dependent

upon the overload frequency and amplitude. The g-cell is overdamped, providing the optimal design for overload performance.

However, the performance of the device during an overload condition is affected by many other parameters, including:

•

g-cell damping

•Non-linearity

•

Clipping limits

•

Symmetry

Figure 35 shows the g-cell, ADC and output clipping of the device over frequency. The relevant parameters are specified in

Section 2.1, and Section 2.7.

Sigma Delta Over Range Response

Over range conditions exist when the signal level is beyond the full-scale range of the device but within the computational limits

of the DSP. The

ΣΔ converter can saturate at levels above those specified in Section 2.1 (G

ADC_CLIP). The DSP operates pre-

dictably under all cases of over range, although the signal may include residual high frequency components for some time after

returning to the normal range of operation due to non-linear effects of the sensor.
