0x17: FF_MT_THS, Freefall and Motion Threshold Register

FF_MT_THS is the threshold register used to detect freefall motion events.

•

The unsigned 7-bit FF_MT_THS threshold register holds the threshold for the freefall detection where the magnitude of

the X and Y and Z acceleration values is lower than the threshold value.

•

Conversely, the FF_MT_THS also holds the threshold for the motion detection where the magnitude of the X or Y or Z

acceleration value is higher than the threshold value.

Figure 34. 0x17: FF_MT_THS, Freefall and Motion Threshold Register (Read/Write)

The threshold resolution is 0.063g/LSB and the threshold register has a range of 0 to 127 counts. The maximum range is to 8g.

Note that even when the full scale value is set to 2g or 4g the motion detects up to 8g.

DBCNTM bit configures the way in which the debounce counter is reset when the inertial event of interest is momentarily not true.

•

When DBCNTM bit is ‘1’, the debounce counter is cleared to 0 whenever the inertial event of interest is no longer true as

shown in Figure 36 "DBCNTM bit function", (b).

•

While the DBCNTM bit is set to logic ‘0’, the debounce counter is decremented by 1 whenever the inertial event of interest

is no longer true (Figure 36 "DBCNTM bit function", (c)) until the debounce counter reaches 0 or the inertial event of interest

becomes active.

Decrementing the debounce counter acts as a median enabling the system to filter out irregular spurious events which might

impede the detection of inertial events.
