9.6 Handling instructions
Micromechanical sensors are designed to sense acceleration with high accuracy even at low
amplitudes and contain highly sensitive structures inside the sensor element. The MEMS
sensor can tolerate mechanical shocks up to several thousand g's. However, these limits might
be exceeded in conditions with extreme shock loads such as e.g. hammer blow on or next to
the sensor, dropping of the sensor onto hard surfaces etc.
We recommend to avoid g-forces beyond the specified limits during transport, handling and
mounting of the sensors in a defined and qualified installation process.
This device has built-in protections against high electrostatic discharges or electric fields (e.g.
2kV HBM); however, anti-static precautions should be taken as for any other CMOS
component. Unless otherwise specified, proper operation can only occur when all terminal
voltages are kept within the supply voltage range. Unused inputs must always be tied to a
defined logic voltage level.
