Product details
Overview
MMA3202KEGR2 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a dual-axis surface-micromachined capacitive accelerometer with integrated signal conditioning, 4th-order Bessel low-pass filtering, and factory-calibrated ±100g X-axis / ±50g Y-axis full-scale range. It delivers ratiometric linear analog outputs (XOUT/YOUT), operates from 4.75–5.25 V, draws 6–10 mA, and is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to +125°C) for automotive and industrial vibration monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MMA3202KEGR2 datasheet, MMA3202KEGR2 pinout, MMA3202KEGR2 application, or MMA3202KEGR2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-axis sensitivity asymmetry, self-test verification capability, status fault latching, SOIC-20 package compatibility, and absence of external filter components due to on-chip switched-capacitor architecture.
Technical Context
The MMA3202KEGR2 implements a micromachined polysilicon g-cell transducer hermetically sealed at wafer level, paired with a CMOS ASIC that performs capacitive sensing via switched-capacitor techniques. Its 4-pole Bessel filter ensures linear phase response (360–440 Hz –3 dB bandwidth) to preserve pulse shape integrity without external RC networks.
It features calibrated self-test actuation via electrostatic force on a dedicated test plate, zero-g offset and sensitivity trimmed in EPROM, and fault detection for low-voltage (2.7–4.0 V trip), clock frequency deviation (50–260 kHz), and EPROM parity errors - all reported through the open-drain STATUS pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| X-axis range | ±100 g - supports high-shock impact detection without saturation |
| Y-axis range | ±50 g - optimized for lower-range motion sensing with higher resolution |
| Sensitivity (X) | 20 mV/g typical - enables direct interface to 12-bit ADCs with ~2.5 g LSB at 5 V supply |
| Sensitivity (Y) | 40 mV/g typical - doubles voltage per g for improved Y-axis SNR |
| Bandwidth | 360–440 Hz - captures mechanical vibration up to audio sub-band without aliasing |
| Supply current | 6–10 mA - compatible with low-power embedded systems using 5 V rails |
| Operating temp | –40°C to +125°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 for under-hood automotive use |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-axis analog accelerometer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADXL203CE | Single-supply 5 V operation; ±1.7 g range; no self-test; 0.5–500 Hz bandwidth | Targeted at low-g precision inclinometry, not high-shock impact monitoring | Select ADXL203CE only when ±100g range and self-test are unnecessary and cost is primary constraint |
| MMA8452Q | I²C digital output; ±2/4/8 g selectable ranges; embedded FIFO; 12-bit resolution | Requires host processor with I²C interface; lacks analog immediacy and self-test voltage verification | Choose MMA8452Q for systems needing configurable ranges, low-power wake-on-motion, or digital bus integration |
Compared with ADXL203CE and MMA8452Q, the MMA3202KEGR2 uniquely combines asymmetric dual-axis full-scale ranges, analog ratiometric outputs with integrated Bessel filtering, and hardware-verified self-test - making it optimal for deterministic, high-reliability analog-sensing applications where timing-critical fault visibility is required.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the MMA3202KEGR2?
The MMA3202KEGR2 operates from 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Within this range, it functions as a fully calibrated linear accelerometer. Operation outside this window may yield linear output but without guaranteed calibration accuracy. The device includes a low-voltage detect (LVD) feature with a trip point between 2.7 V and 4.0 V, signaled via the STATUS pin. This ensures reliable operation in automotive and industrial 5 V systems where supply ripple or brownout conditions must be monitored.
How does the self-test function work on the MMA3202KEGR2?
The MMA3202KEGR2 self-test applies an electrostatic force to the micromachined center plate via a dedicated test electrode, causing controlled deflection equivalent to ~12 g acceleration. When ST pin is driven high, XOUT and YOUT shift predictably (ΔVOFF ≈ 9.6–14.4 g × sensitivity), verifying both mechanical g-cell integrity and analog signal chain functionality. The STATUS pin remains high during self-test, and faults like LVD or clock failure latch independently - allowing unambiguous pass/fail assessment without external instrumentation.
What is the purpose of separate VDD and AVDD pins on the MMA3202KEGR2?
The MMA3202KEGR2 uses separate VDD (digital supply) and AVDD (analog supply) pins to isolate noise-sensitive analog circuitry from digital switching transients. VDD powers the control logic, EPROM, and clock generator, while AVDD exclusively supplies the capacitive sensor front-end and output amplifiers. This separation improves PSRR and reduces coupling of digital noise into analog outputs - critical for maintaining 110 mVrms noise floor and accurate DC offset stability across temperature. Decoupling each rail with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors is mandatory per layout guidelines.
Can the MMA3202KEGR2 be used in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the MMA3202KEGR2 is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (–40°C to +125°C) and features wafer-level hermetic sealing, robust shock survivability (2000 g unpowered), and built-in fault detection - all essential for under-hood automotive use. Its 4.75–5.25 V operation matches standard automotive 5 V regulators, and the STATUS pin provides immediate visibility into LVD, clock failure, or memory corruption - supporting ISO 26262 diagnostic requirements. The SOIC-20 package also withstands reflow and thermal cycling per J-STD-020.
What is the significance of the "KEG" suffix in MMA3202KEGR2?
"KEG" denotes a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant version of the MMA3202 series in SOIC-20 packaging (Case 475A-02), manufactured at a Freescale facility certified for automotive-grade production. The "R2" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging (2000 units per reel), optimized for automated SMT assembly. Unlike the base "EG" variant, "KEG" guarantees lead-free terminations and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 - ensuring reliability in high-volume manufacturing without post-assembly reflow concerns.
