Figure 6. Recommended PCB Layout for Interfacing
Accelerometer to Microcontroller
NOTES:
1. Use a 0.1
碌F
capacitor on V
DD
to decouple the power
source.
2. Physical coupling distance of the accelerometer to the
microcontroller should be minimal.
3. Place a ground plane beneath the accelerometer to
reduce noise, the ground plane should be attached to
all of the open ended terminals shown in
Figure 6.
4. Use an RC filter of 1 k鈩?and 0.01
碌F
on the output of
the accelerometer to minimize clock noise (from the
switched capacitor filter circuit).
5. PCB layout of power and ground should not couple
power supply noise.

6. Accelerometer and microcontroller should not be a
high current path.
7. A/D sampling rate and any external power supply
switching frequency should be selected such that they
do not interfere with the internal accelerometer
sampling frequency. This will prevent aliasing errors.
