Motion sensors play important roles in various industrial and consumer applications. Among them, accelerometers are one of the most common motion sensors used to measure acceleration, tilt, and vibration. The SCA820-D04-1 Accelerometer from Honeywell is a high performance digital iCM accelerometer, suitable for a variety of applications.

SCA820-D04-1 Application Field

The SCA820-D04-1 accelerometer is ideally suited for vibration measurements in a wide range of industrial, automotive, and consumer applications, such as controlling the orientation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), measuring shock and tilt in automobiles, monitoring vibration and tilt in industrial machines, and measuring acceleration in consumer electronic devices for motion detection. It also is useful in a variety of medical applications where accurate measurements of body motion are needed, such as detecting heart rate or body movement.

In industrial applications, the SCA820-D04-1 accelerometer is often used to detect abnormal vibrations in rotating machines, which can lead to premature failure of the machines. The accurate measurements provided by the sensor enable timely corrective action to avoid potential damage or catastrophic failure. It is also commonly used to measure acceleration at harsh environments. The sensor device is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 125°C, making it suitable for harsh environment applications.

In automobiles, the SCA820-D04-1 accelerometer is often used for tilt sensing and controls. It can sense the angle of inclination of the car and consequently adjust the suspension accordingly to deliver a comfortable ride for the occupants. In addition to tilt sensing, the accelerometer is also used in airbags for controlling deployment timing and force.

SCA820-D04-1 Working Principle

The SCA820-D04-1 Accelerometer is a self-referenced digital iCM accelerometer with a high precision signal processing chain that produces an output in digital I2C format. The device consists of a MEMS sensor element, an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) for signal processing, and a Communication Interface Circuit (CIC) for communication. The MEMS sensor element is responsible for measuring acceleration on all three axes. The ASIC is responsible for providing the necessary signal conditioning, such as temperature compensation, signal amplification, and filtering. The CIC provides communication interface and protocol formatting.

When the accelerometer is subjected to an acceleration, the moving mass of the MEMS element will experience a force proportional to the acceleration, thus changing its position relative to the sensor frame. This change of position is then converted into a change in capacitance, which is then amplified and filtered by the ASIC. The signal is then converted to a digital format by the CIC before being output as a digital I2C signal.

Conclusion

The SCA820-D04-1 Accelerometer from Honeywell is a high precision digital iCM accelerometer providing precise acceleration measurements suitable for a wide range of industrial, automotive, and consumer applications. With its high performance MEMS sensor, ASIC and CIC signal processing chain, this device offers a reliable and accurate solution for sensing motion and vibration.
