SDI 1522 SURFACE MOUNT ACCELEROMETERS
The Model 1522 is an industrial-grade surface mount MEMS DC accelerometer with enhanced temperature performance and a low-cost design. Like the SDI Model 1521, it is designed for use between -55°C and +125°C, however, the Model 1522 has only half the bias and scale-factor temperature coefficients of the Model 1521. Each nitrogen-damped, hermetically sealed Model 1522 accelerometer undergoes individual temperature testing, programming, calibration, and verification within a climate chamber environment to ensure its improved performance in more temperature-intensive applications. These features make the SDI Model 1522 ideal for applications characterized by large or rapid temperature fluctuations, or where particularly hot or cold operating temperatures persist over an extended period.

Each miniature, hermetically sealed package combines a MEMS capacitive sense element for DC measurement and a custom integrated circuit that includes a sense amplifier and differential output stage. This design ensures that the device remains relatively insensitive to temperature changes and gradients. Each package undergoes individual testing, programming, and calibration by SDI, and is marked with a serial number on its top and bottom surfaces for easy traceability. Additionally, an optional calibration test report (1522-TST) is available for every unit, displaying the MEMS DC accelerometer's measured bias, scale factor, linearity, operating current, and frequency response specifications.

OPERATION
The sensitive axis of the Model 1522 is perpendicular to the bottom of the package, and with positive acceleration resulting from a positive force pushing on the bottom of the package. The seismic center is located on a centerline through the dual sense elements and halfway between them.
The Model 1522 produces a differential ±4 volts output voltage, the value of which varies with acceleration as shown in the figure. The seismic center is located on a centerline through the dual sense elements halfway between them. Any errors due to rotation about this point are effectively cancelled by the internal electronics.
Two reference voltages, +5.0 and +2.5 volts (nominal), are required; scale factor is ratiometric to the +5.0 volt reference voltage relative to GND, and both outputs at zero acceleration are nominally the same as the +2.5 volt input.
PERFORMANCE - ALL VERSIONS
All Models: Unless otherwise specified, Vs=+8 to +32 VDC, TC=25°C, Differential Mode. Span = ±g range = 8000 mV.
Note (1): For 2g thru 50g only; 100g and greater versions are tested and specified from -65 to +65g.
NOTICE: Stresses greater than those listed may cause permanent damage to the device. These are maximum stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device at or above these conditions is not implied.
