Product details
Overview
MMA621010AKEGR2 from NXP (formerly Freescale) is a dual-axis analog-output silicon capacitive accelerometer with ±100g full-scale range per axis, ratiometric voltage output, and integrated temperature sensor. It features 4-pole low-pass filtering at 400 Hz, over-damped transducer response, and operates from 3.3 V or 5 V supply - designed for crash detection and impact monitoring in automotive airbag systems.
For engineers reviewing the MMA621010AKEGR2 datasheet, MMA621010AKEGR2 pinout, MMA621010AKEGR2 application, or MMA621010AKEGR2 equivalent, key selection criteria include g-range symmetry (±100g X/Y), AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification (−40°C to +105°C), SOIC-20 Pb-free packaging, and ratiometric DAC output stability under supply variation.
Technical Context
The MMA621010AKEGR2 integrates micromachined g-cells for X and Y axes with on-chip digital signal processing (DSP) for offset trimming, gain calibration, and low-pass filtering. Its 4-pole SINC filter provides 400 Hz cutoff (−4 dB) and 353 Hz −3 dB point, synchronized via CAP/HOLD input for system-wide data capture timing.
It uses two independent DACs to convert processed acceleration data into ratiometric analog voltages (XOUT/YOUT), referenced to VCC and buffered by internal voltage regulator and dedicated analog ground (VSSA). Self-test activation (ST pin) induces known electrostatic force, producing ≥10% FS output shift verified across temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Full-Scale Range | ±100g per axis - enables high-g shock detection without saturation up to ±200g internal circuit limit |
| Output Type | Ratiometric analog voltage (XOUT/YOUT) - output scales linearly with VCC, eliminating need for separate reference |
| Low-Pass Filter | 4-pole, 400 Hz cutoff (−4 dB) - suppresses high-frequency noise while preserving crash pulse fidelity |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V or 5 V single supply - supports legacy 5 V automotive systems and modern 3.3 V microcontrollers |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +105°C - qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 2 for under-hood and passenger compartment use |
| Self-Test Output Shift | ≥10% FS at 25°C, ≥10% FS at −40°C to +105°C - enables in-system functional verification without mechanical stimulus |
| Offset Error | 0.46×VCC to 0.54×VCC at 0g - tight centering reduces post-processing zero-g calibration effort |
Pinout & Package
Pb-free 20-pin SOIC package (Case 475A-02), 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, with exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 11, 12, 19, 20 | N/C | No internal connection - must be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practice |
| 2, 15 | VSS | Digital ground return - requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane |
| 4 | VCC | Main power supply (3.3 V or 5 V) - bypassed with 1 μF capacitor to VSS |
| 5, 18 | XOUT / YOUT | Ratiometric analog outputs - each sourced from dedicated DAC, load-limited to 25 kΩ / 60 pF |
| 6, 14 | VPP / VSSA | Test supply / analog ground - VSSA must be isolated from digital ground and bypassed to VCC |
| 7, 13 | CAP/HOLD / SCLK | Data freeze control / reset clock - CAP/HOLD latches latest sample; SCLK unused unless initiating hardware reset |
| 8, 17 | CREGA / CREG | Analog/digital power rail filters - require 800–1000 nF low-ESR capacitors to VSSA/VSS respectively |
| 9, 10, 16 | CREF / ST / RESET | Reference filter / self-test enable / hardware reset - CREF ties to internal 1.25 V reference; ST activates electrostatic self-test; RESET asserts internal logic reset on 512 μs low pulse |
| 12 | STATUS | Fault indicator - open-drain output pulled high on parity error, over-temperature, clock fault, or reset |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Full digital signal processing | On-chip DSP performs real-time offset trim, gain adjustment, and 4-pole filtering - eliminates external op-amp or MCU-based compensation |
| Over-damped transducer | Minimizes resonance-induced ringing during crash events - preserves pulse shape integrity for reliable deployment decision timing |
| Capture/hold synchronization | CAP/HOLD pin freezes XOUT/YOUT simultaneously - enables time-aligned sampling across multiple sensors or with safety MCU |
| Integrated temperature sensor | On-die thermal sensing supports temperature-compensated calibration in final application - no external thermistor required |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification | Validated for automotive environments including thermal cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock - meets airbag system reliability requirements |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADXL206ARZ | Single-supply 5 V only; 2.5 g/2.5 g range; 1 kHz bandwidth; no integrated self-test | Lower g-range limits use to low-acceleration tilt/orientation; lacks crash pulse fidelity | Select when cost-sensitive, low-g precision tilt sensing is primary requirement and self-test is optional |
| MMA8452QT | I²C digital output; ±2g/4g/8g selectable range; embedded motion detection; 12-bit resolution | Requires host MCU with I²C interface; unsuitable for analog-signal-chain architectures | Select when digital integration, low power, or embedded feature set (tap detection, FIFO) outweighs need for analog output |
Compared with MMA621010AKEGR2, ADXL206ARZ offers higher bandwidth but cannot support ±100g crash detection, while MMA8452QT replaces analog output with digital interface and programmable features - neither matches the AEC-Q100-qualified ±100g analog performance and system-level synchronization (CAP/HOLD) of MMA621010AKEGR2.

FAQ
What is the full-scale range specification for MMA621010AKEGR2?
The MMA621010AKEGR2 has a full-scale range of ±100g on both the X and Y axes, independently specified and trimmed during manufacturing. This range is optimized for high-g transient events such as automotive crashes, with internal circuitry capable of handling up to ±200g without saturation. The device maintains ≤1% FSR nonlinearity and 1.1 mg/√Hz noise density across its operating temperature range.
Does MMA621010AKEGR2 support both 3.3 V and 5 V supply operation?
Yes, MMA621010AKEGR2 supports single-supply operation at either 3.3 V (±0.15 V) or 5 V (±0.25 V), with full electrical specifications guaranteed across both rails. Its ratiometric analog outputs (XOUT/YOUT) scale directly with VCC, eliminating dependency on external voltage references. Supply current is typically 9.0 mA in analog-only configuration, and internal regulators stabilize CREG (2.5 V) and CREF (1.25 V) regardless of input voltage.
How does the CAP/HOLD function work on MMA621010AKEGR2?
The CAP/HOLD pin on MMA621010AKEGR2 freezes the analog output values at XOUT and YOUT on a low-to-high transition, holding them constant until the next sample update. This enables precise system-wide synchronization - for example, aligning acceleration capture with other sensors or MCU ADC conversions. When held low, outputs update continuously at the DSP sampling rate (~16 µs period); tying CAP/HOLD to VSS disables hold functionality entirely.
Is MMA621010AKEGR2 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MMA621010AKEGR2 is qualified to AEC-Q100 Rev. F Grade 2, covering operation from −40°C to +105°C ambient temperature. It undergoes stress testing for thermal cycling, humidity, mechanical shock (±1500 g powered, ±2000 g unpowered), and ESD (±2000 V HBM). Its SOIC-20 Pb-free package (475A-02) and integrated self-test support automotive safety-critical design requirements per ISO 26262 ASIL-B readiness.
What is the purpose of the STATUS pin on MMA621010AKEGR2?
The STATUS pin on MMA621010AKEGR2 is an open-drain fault indicator that drives high during internal fault conditions including parity errors, over-temperature (>+125°C junction), internal clock frequency deviation (>±5%), device reset, or initialization. It remains asserted until cleared by a low-to-high transition on the ST pin. After reset, STATUS enters high-impedance for ~800 μs, then goes high for 3 ms stabilization before becoming active - enabling robust system-level fault monitoring.
