Product details
Overview
MMA2202KEGR2,518 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a surface-micromachined, single-axis ±50g capacitive accelerometer IC with integrated signal conditioning, 4th-order Bessel low-pass filter, and factory-calibrated self-test. It delivers ratiometric linear output (0.50 VDD mV/g/V), operates from –40°C to +105°C, and is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2 for automotive and industrial vibration monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MMA2202KEGR2,518 datasheet, MMA2202KEGR2,518 pinout, MMA2202KEGR2,518 application, or MMA2202KEGR2,518 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-16 pin mapping, real-world use cases in hard drive protection and appliance control, and two validated alternative accelerometers with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MMA2202KEGR2,518 integrates a polysilicon g-cell transducer hermetically sealed at wafer level and a CMOS ASIC implementing switched-capacitor sensing, temperature compensation, and a 4-pole Bessel filter with f–3dB = 400 Hz (typ). Its ratiometric architecture ensures output offset and sensitivity scale linearly with VDD (4.75–5.25 V), enabling supply-noise rejection in microcontroller ADC interfaces.
Self-test is initiated via logic-high ST pin, generating calibrated 10–12 g mechanical deflection verified by STATUS pin latching. Fault detection includes low-voltage detect (VLVD = 3.25 V typ), clock monitor (fmin = 150 kHz), and EPROM parity check - all reported on the open-drain STATUS output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Acceleration Range | ±50 g - Full-scale measurement range for X-axis dynamic and static acceleration, including gravity sensing. |
| Output Sensitivity | 0.50 VDD mV/g/V - Ratiometric gain enables direct ADC interfacing without supply-voltage calibration. |
| Bandwidth (–3 dB) | 400 Hz - Preserves pulse shape integrity for vibration analysis up to audio-frequency mechanical events. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75–5.25 V - Valid operating range for full calibration; operation outside requires revalidation. |
| Self-Test Output | 10–12 g response - Verifies mechanical integrity of g-cell and signal chain functionality pre-deployment. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +105°C - Qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 2 for under-hood automotive and industrial environments. |
| ESD Rating | 2 kV HBM - Internal protection requires external ESD handling per datasheet precautions. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead SOIC (Case 475-01), Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with standard reflow profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 4 | ST (Self-Test Input) | Active-high digital input; initiates electrostatic self-test; internal pull-down prevents false triggering. |
| 5 | VOUT (Analog Output) | Ratiometric voltage output (VDD/2 ± 0.50·VDD·g·mV/g/V); requires 1 kΩ + 0.01 μF RC filter for clock noise suppression. |
| 6 | STATUS (Fault Output) | Open-drain logic output; latches high on LVD, clock failure, or EPROM parity error; reset via ST pulse ≥100 μs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-axis analog-output accelerometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADXL322BCPZ-RL7 | ±5 g range, 3-axis, 500 Hz bandwidth, 2.5 V supply; no self-test or status pin. | Limited to low-g consumer motion sensing; lacks fault reporting and automotive qualification. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-automotive 3-axis applications where ±5 g suffices and diagnostics are not required. |
| MMA8452Q | I²C digital output, ±2/4/8 g selectable range, embedded FIFO, motion detection engine; no analog output or self-test pin. | Requires microcontroller with I²C; supports advanced features like orientation detection but adds firmware complexity. | Choose when digital interface, multi-axis data, and intelligent event detection outweigh need for analog simplicity and hardware self-test. |
Compared with MMA2202KEGR2,518, ADXL322BCPZ-RL7 offers broader axis coverage but sacrifices diagnostic capability and automotive ruggedness, while MMA8452Q replaces analog simplicity with digital flexibility and intelligence at the cost of added software overhead and loss of hardware-level fault visibility.

FAQ
What is the supply voltage range for reliable operation of the MMA2202KEGR2,518?
The MMA2202KEGR2,518 operates reliably within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Within this window, the device maintains full calibration and specified performance for offset, sensitivity, and bandwidth. Operation outside this range may yield linear output but is not guaranteed to meet datasheet specifications - the MMA2202KEGR2,518 must be powered within these limits for certified AEC-Q100 Grade 2 functionality.
How does the self-test function work on the MMA2202KEGR2,518?
The MMA2202KEGR2,518 implements a calibrated electrostatic self-test: applying a logic-high signal to the ST pin activates an internal electrode that deflects the g-cell's movable plate, simulating 10–12 g of acceleration. This produces a corresponding step change on VOUT and causes the STATUS pin to latch high - confirming mechanical integrity of the sensor and full signal chain functionality without external equipment.
What does the STATUS pin indicate on the MMA2202KEGR2,518?
The STATUS pin on the MMA2202KEGR2,518 is an open-drain output that latches high upon occurrence of any fault condition: supply voltage dropping below 3.25 V (typ), internal clock frequency falling below 150 kHz, or EPROM parity becoming odd. It remains asserted until cleared by a ≥100 μs high pulse on the ST pin - unless the underlying fault persists, in which case the MMA2202KEGR2,518 continues reporting the error.
Is the MMA2202KEGR2,518 compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers?
The MMA2202KEGR2,518 requires a nominal 5 V supply (4.75–5.25 V) and is not rated for direct 3.3 V operation. While its output is ratiometric, the internal oscillator, self-test circuitry, and fault monitors depend on the specified VDD range. Interfacing with a 3.3 V microcontroller ADC is possible only if VDD = 5 V and the VOUT signal is scaled or buffered appropriately - the MMA2202KEGR2,518 itself must be powered at 5 V.
What packaging format does the MMA2202KEGR2,518 use?
The MMA2202KEGR2,518 is supplied in tape-and-reel format (R2 suffix) using a 16-lead SOIC package (Case 475-01), with Pb-free and RoHS-compliant construction. Its footprint matches standard SOIC-16 land patterns, and the datasheet specifies minimum solder mask openings and pad dimensions to ensure reliable reflow soldering and mechanical stability in high-vibration environments.
