1.5 TECHNOLOGY DE SC RIPTIO N
The core of the proof (or seismic) mass of InnaLabsĀ® pendulous accelerometers is a high purity fused quartz disc structure connected to a rigid outer frame by two thin hinges (Figure 1). The overall structure is monolithic and a deposited gold film is used to form an electrode pattern onto the surface of the pendulum as required for capacitive detection and for connection to the torque conducting leads
Figure 1 ā Pendulum
Figure 2 ā Accelerometer
Each accelerometer (Figure 2) includes a central ācellā, which contains the pendulum and electrostatic and electromagnetic circuit components used as parts of the closed loop control system.
When acceleration is applied perpendicularly to the proof mass, the servo loop circuit derives an error signal from the capacitive detection and delivers a current into two coils attached symmetrically to each side of the proof mass. Laplace forces are then applied to the winding and therefore the proof mass will be maintained in a capture or null mode with its centre in a null position, over a broad frequency band of input accelerations (i.e. >2 kHz typical). As the current through the coils is proportional to the applied acceleration, the same current flowing through an external load resistor will then generate an output voltage proportional to acceleration.
Figure 3 shows a simplified diagram of the closed loop system.

The current required in the torque motor coils to re-centre the pendulum is directly proportional to the applied acceleration. This current is output on the Signal Out pin as the acceleration signal. Typically, a precision resistor is used externally to the accelerometer to convert the current output to a voltage.

2.2.2 Acceleration Measurement
The AI-Q-20X0 accelerometer produces an output current proportional to the acceleration applied along the sensitive axis of the accelerometer.

2.2.3 Temperature Measurement
The AI-Q-20X0 internal temperature sensor produces an output current proportional to absolute temperature. The device acts as a high impedance, constant current regulator passing 1 ĀµA/Ā°C. The temperature sensor is calibrated to output 303.2 ĀµA at 30 Ā°C (303.2 K).

2.2.4 Power Supplies
The AI-Q-20X0 requires a bipolar power supply in the range Ā±13 V to Ā±28 V. It is not necessary for the two supplies to be of equal magnitude. The quiescent current consumption will increase at higher input voltages.
The AI-Q-20X0 has a ripple rejection characteristic as shown in Figure 7 (for an RMEAS value of 1 kĪ©). The ripple rejection is presented in dB(mA/V), as the acceleration sensitivity depends on the scale factor.

2.2.5 Test Functionality
The AI-Q-20X0 has three options for test functionality: the current torque connection (pin 2), the voltage self-test connection (pin 7) and the voltage output pins (pins 9 and 10).

2.2.5.1 Current Torque
The current torque pin (2) is a current input pin. Current on this pin is injected into the output of the servo amplifier, as shown in Figure 3. The servo loop acts to null the injected current, increasing current draw on the appropriate power pin (a positive input current increases current draw on the negative supply and vice versa):
Positive Current on Pin 2 = Negative Current on Pin 3
Negative Current on Pin 2 = Positive Current on Pin 4
This functionality can be used to verify that the electronics in the accelerometer can deliver the current required under high g conditions (static and/or dynamic). Based on the scale factor of the accelerometer:
šššš¢ššš”šš ššššššššš”ššš (š) = š“šššššš š¶š¢ššššš” (šš“)
ššššš š¹ššš”šš (šš“šā )
In normal operation, this pin should be left unconnected.
2.2.5.2 Voltage Self-Test
The voltage self-test pin (7) is a voltage input pin. A voltage applied to this pin injects a signal into the integrator of the control loop electronics, as shown in Figure 3. As the integrator input is offset (assuming a DC input), the servo loop compensates the input, offsetting the position of the pendulum, and is visible as a transient on the accelerometer output. A step input to this test pin can be used to measure the accelerometer bandwidth from the transient response.
In normal operation, this pin should be left unconnected.
2.2.5.3 Voltage Output Pins
Pins 9 and 10 of the accelerometer are used to check the correct operation of the AI-Q-20X0 internal electronics. In normal operation, the output of these pins can be measured:
Pin 9 Output = ā10 VDC
Pin 10 Output = +10 VDC
In normal operation, these pins should be left unconnected, as loading these pins can affect the operation of the accelerometer.

2.4 MOUNTING
The external mounting holes for the AI-Q-20X0 are shown in Figure 8 (see [RD2] for full details). The mounting holes are designed for metric M3 screws with a tightening torque of 20 ā 40 cNm.
Figure 8 ā AI-Q-20X0 Mounting Holes
N.B.: For optimum thermal misalignment performance, it is recommended the accelerometer be mounted to a 300 series stainless steel base
The recommended material for screws is stainless steel, in order to match the thermal expansion rate of the accelerometer housing.
During mounting, if a torque wrench is used, it is recommended to maintain it not triggered, in order to avoid propagating shocks into the accelerometer.
2.5 PRE LIMINA RY TE STING
Before connecting and mounting the AI-Q-20X0, a simple familiarisation test is suggested if this is the Userās first introduction to the product. This test will also verify proper unit operation and assist in troubleshooting.

Connect the power supply according to Ā§2.2 (positive supply to pin 4 and negative
supply to pin 3, ground to pin 8).
Connect the load resistor between the Signal Out (pin 1) and Signal Return (pin 8).
Connect the voltmeter / oscilloscope across pins 1 (Signal Out) and 8 (Signal/Power
Return) of the AI-Q-20X0 interface connector to test
Wires can be connected to the accelerometer using a test connector (InnaLabs can provide these connectors on request), or by soldering wires directly to the pins. If soldered connections are used, this should be done as per the state of the art, in such a way as to avoid short circuits between pins.

2.6.1 Load Resistor Selection
The external resistor used affects the maximum g-range measurable by the test system, due to voltage drop across both it and the internal coil resistance.

š¾1(š šæ + š ššøš“š)
Where:
VIN: Absolute Power Supply Voltage
K1: Scale Factor (from ATC)
RL: Coil Resistance (from ATC)
RMEAS: Measurement Resistance
For example:
VIN = Ā±13 V
K1 = 1.20 mA/g
RL = 170 Ī©
RMEAS = 10 Ī©
The acceleration range (at which point the accelerometer output saturates) using the parameters above is Ā±60.2 g. As the input voltage is increased, a larger voltage drop is available, enabling the same acceleration level to be measured with a larger measurement resistor (thus improving signal-to-noise ratio). Using the same formula with a 215 Ī© measurement resistor, at Ā±28 V, the saturation range is Ā±60.6 g.
With a scale factor of 1.46 mA/V, a 147 Ī© (or less) resistor is required at Ā±28 V in order to meet the full measurement range.
The absolute acceleration limit over temperature is dependent on the range of the parameters in the equation above.

)
When selecting a load resistor, the resistance of any associated interconnecting cables must be taken into account as these add to the overall resistance. As such, the maximum cable length depends on the voltage drop that can be tolerated.
It is recommended the resistance (and by association the length) of the cable is kept to a minimum in order to minimise variations in the measured output due to resistance changes over temperature.
3. FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 GENERAL C OMMENT
When not specified, the performance detailed below is available over the full operating conditions as described in section 4.
3.2 HAND LING REQU IREME NTS
Preventing ESD Damage
An unpackaged AI-Q-20X0 is to only be handled, stored or transported in an ESD
protected area [EPA]
When handling the accelerometer, the person is to be grounded via a wrist strap system
or a flooring/footwear system
Outside the EPA, the AI-Q-20X0 is to be enclosed in ESD protective packaging. An
unpackaged AI-Q-20X0 inside the EPA is to be stored or transported on grounded work
surfaces or shelving
When soldering to the pins the soldering iron tip should be grounded. Alternatively,
prior to connecting the accelerometer pins to the user system (including cable wires,
power supply, electronics, etc.), as a precaution, it is recommended that all pins be
shorted to the mechanical ground (accelerometer housing). Once the accelerometer is
connected to the user system, before power on, the short to ground should be released
Preventing Physical Damage
Handle the AI-Q-20X0 with care at all times
The unpowered shock limit of the AI-Q-20X0 is 250 g in any axis
Preventing Electrical Damage
Do not touch or make connections to the unit with the power on. Doing so may damage
the unit and/or cause injury to personnel

3.3 ERROR MODEL
3.3.1 General
When the pendulum is servo controlled in position, the current in the torque motor acts as a biased estimator of the specific force applied along the pendulum input axis.
The accelerometer model equation is defined as a series that mathematically relates the accelerometer output am to the components of applied acceleration along the reference axes. Each accelerometer input axis has two misalignments relative to the nominal IA, in the IA-PA and IA-OA planes.
The expression of the accelerometer model at the centre of mass of the pendulum is:
šš =š

šš = š¾0 + šš + š¾2šš2 + šæššš + šæššš + ķ
Where:
šš Indicated accelerometer output (g)
š = (šš , šš, šš) Components of the acceleration along the nominal I, P and O axes (g)
š Accelerometer output current (mA)
