Product details
Overview
AD22284-A from Analog Devices is a dual-axis iMEMS® accelerometer IC designed for automotive front/side airbag collision sensing, delivering ±35 g/±35 g full-scale measurement range on X and Y axes with ratiometric voltage outputs. It features 400 Hz 2-pole Bessel filtering, 0.2% full-scale linearity, low-noise operation (1.1 mg/√Hz typ. on Y-axis), and integrated self-test via digital ST pin. Its ceramic LCC package enables robust deployment in high-shock environments.
For engineers reviewing the AD22284-A datasheet, AD22284-A pinout, AD22284-A application, or AD22284-A equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed −40°C to +105°C automotive temperature range, differential sensor architecture for EMI/RFI immunity, prefilter headroom of 280–560 g, and tight zero-g offset (±100 mV on X, ±150 mV on Y) over temperature.
Technical Context
The AD22284-A implements a fully differential capacitive sensor structure with 200 kHz electrostatic excitation and zero-force feedback control, eliminating net electrostatic force on the movable frame. Its signal path includes on-chip demodulation, amplification, and a fixed 400 Hz Bessel filter-ensuring linear phase response and minimal overshoot for crash pulse fidelity.
Self-test activation applies electrostatic force to the sensor frame via the ST pin, generating calibrated output steps (440–660 mV on X, 440–660 mV on Y at VDD = 5 V). The device uses three independent VDD pins (VDD, VDD2, VDD3) for supply decoupling and noise isolation, supporting single-supply operation from 3.5 V to 6 V with 2.2–2.9 mA quiescent current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Full-Scale Range | ±35 g on both X and Y axes - enables accurate detection of moderate-to-high severity frontal/side impacts without clipping. |
| Linearity Error | 0.2% of full scale - ensures sub-0.07 g absolute error across full range, critical for algorithmic thresholding in airbag controllers. |
| Output Noise Density | 1.1 mg/√Hz (Y), 1.8 mg/√Hz (X) - supports reliable vibration monitoring down to low-amplitude mechanical signatures. |
| −3 dB Bandwidth | 360–440 Hz (2-pole Bessel) - preserves transient rise time of crash pulses while rejecting high-frequency road noise. |
| Zero-g Offset Drift | ±100 mV (X), ±150 mV (Y) over −40°C to +105°C - maintains calibration stability in under-hood automotive environments. |
| Self-Test Output Step | 440–660 mV per axis at VDD = 5 V - provides deterministic, repeatable verification of full signal chain integrity. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.5 V to 6 V - compatible with automotive battery rails including cold-crank (≈3.8 V) and load-dump (≈5.5 V) conditions. |
Pinout & Package
AD22284-A is housed in an 8-terminal ceramic leadless chip carrier (LCC) measuring 5 mm × 5 mm × 2 mm (E-8-1 package), qualified for automotive use with Pb-free and Sn/Pb solder compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Primary power supply input | Accepts 3.5 V–6 V; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling for noise rejection near 200 kHz clock. |
| VDD2 | Secondary power supply input | Isolates analog supply domains; improves PSRR and reduces coupling between sensor and output stages. |
| VDD3 | Tertiary power supply input | Dedicated supply for internal timing generator and self-test circuitry; enhances test repeatability. |
| XOUT | X-axis analog output | Ratiometric voltage (2.5 V ± full-scale swing); drives up to 1000 pF load with 0.25 V–(VDD − 0.25 V) swing. |
| YOUT | Y-axis analog output | Independent ratiometric output; enables orthogonal acceleration vector resolution without cross-talk compensation. |
| COM | Analog common reference | System ground reference for differential sensor core; must be low-impedance and separate from digital ground. |
| ST | Digital self-test enable | CMOS-compatible input (VIH ≥ 3.5 V, VIL ≤ 1 V); activates full mechanical/electrical self-test sequence. |
| NC | No connect | Terminal 5 is unconnected internally; must remain floating or grounded per PCB layout best practices. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully differential sensor and signal path | Rejects common-mode EMI/RFI up to 10× better than single-ended accelerometers, validated by CFSR of 3 V/V at 400 kHz. |
| Integrated 400 Hz 2-pole Bessel filter | Preserves step response fidelity (minimal overshoot) for accurate crash pulse timing-critical for airbag deployment algorithms. |
| On-chip mechanical and electrical self-test | Validates sensor frame mobility, capacitor integrity, amplifier gain, and filter response with one digital command on ST pin. |
| High prefilter clipping headroom | 280–560 g headroom prevents saturation during high-slew transients before filtering, enabling clean post-filter analysis. |
| Automotive-grade temperature stability | Specified performance maintained from −40°C to +105°C, including sensitivity (±5% variation) and offset (±150 mV). |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-axis high-g accelerometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADXL288 | Wider full-scale range (±50 g/±50 g), higher noise density (1.4 mg/√Hz), same LCC-8 package and pinout. | Better suited for higher-energy crash events where ±35 g may saturate; requires recalibration of airbag algorithms. | Select ADXL288 when system-level testing shows AD22284-A approaches clipping during worst-case barrier impacts. |
| ADXL372 | Digital SPI output, 2000 g range, 2.5 µA standby current, 3 mm × 3 mm LGA package - no analog output or self-test pin. | Targets ultra-low-power wearable or IoT shock loggers; lacks ratiometric analog interface needed for legacy airbag ASICs. | Choose ADXL372 only for new designs with digital host processors and no requirement for analog integration or hardware self-test. |
Compared with ADXL288 and ADXL372, the AD22284-A uniquely balances automotive qualification, analog ratiometric outputs compatible with existing safety ASICs, deterministic self-test capability, and optimal ±35 g range for cost-sensitive frontal airbag systems-making it the preferred choice where legacy interface and proven field reliability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the AD22284-A?
The AD22284-A is fully specified and qualified for continuous operation from −40°C to +105°C, meeting AEC-Q100 requirements for under-hood automotive placement. All key parameters-including sensitivity, zero-g offset, noise density, and self-test output-are guaranteed across this range, with no derating required.
Does the AD22284-A require external components for basic operation?
Yes-the AD22284-A requires at minimum a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed close to each VDD pin (VDD, VDD2, VDD3) for effective high-frequency decoupling. Additional bulk capacitance (1–4.7 µF) is recommended if power supply noise near 200 kHz is present. No external resistors or filters are needed for nominal operation.
How does the self-test function of the AD22284-A verify sensor integrity?
The AD22284-A self-test applies electrostatic force to the sensor frame via the ST pin, causing measurable displacement that propagates through the full signal chain. This produces calibrated output steps (440–660 mV on each axis at VDD = 5 V), confirming mechanical mobility, demodulator functionality, amplifier gain, and filter response-all in a single digital command.
Can the AD22284-A be used in systems with 3.3 V supplies?
No-the AD22284-A requires a minimum supply voltage of 3.5 V and is not functional at 3.3 V. Its specified operating range is 3.5 V to 6 V, with performance guaranteed at 5 V ±5%. For 3.3 V systems, consider the ADXL3xx series, which are explicitly rated for 2.25–3.6 V operation.
What is the significance of the "-A" suffix in AD22284-A?
The "-A" suffix in AD22284-A denotes the standard commercial-grade version with RoHS-compliant packaging and tape-and-reel delivery (3,000 units per reel). It is distinct from automotive-grade variants (e.g., ADW22284ZC), which undergo additional process controls, extended reliability testing, and automotive-specific documentation.
