Easy Implementation of Motion-Based Features with Kionix\'s KXTF9 Accelerometer
Ithaca, New York – Monday, February 8, 2010 – Engineers at Kionix, Inc., a
global leader in the design and fabrication of high-performance, siliconmicromachined
MEMS inertial sensors, have produced the valuable documentation that will help developers become proficient in using the embedded algorithms and features of the KXTF9 tri-axis accelerometer.
Application Note AN023, “Getting Started with the KXTF9,” will save engineers
valuable time by helping them navigate through the details of the KXTF9
technical specifications. According to Eric Eisenhut, Vice President of Sales Marketing at Kionix, the intricacies of consumer electronics and the expanding role of sensors in
electronic products has resulted in the accelerometer’s evolution into more of a
system than, what historically had been, just a sensor. “Due to increased device
complexities, we want to assist our customers’ design efforts by simplifying the
path to understanding the embedded features of our KXTF9,” said Eisenhut.
“AN023 summarizes the key features, namely Directional Tap/Double-TapTM, tilt
positioning, high- and low-pass filter settings, selectable g-range, and the means
of controlling these features, all in a straightforward format for our engineering
customers.”
These initial conditions are just the beginning of the application development
process, however. The Application Note offers ten pages of specific instruction,
from the basics of part set-up to digital engine configuration, helpful tips, and
trouble-shooting guidelines that lead ultimately to a better understanding of the
accelerometer’s overall capabilities.
Like its sister product, Kionix’s KXTE9 accelerometer, the KXTF9 is compatible
with Kionix’s USB Development Kit (part number USBDEVKIT), which can be
used to originate applications and firmware. The utilities supported by the Kit
include SensorScope to monitor data coming from the sensor, SensorCalc to test
and calculate zero-g offset and sensitivity, SensorMap to read and write to
specific registers of the accelerometer, motion to test for activity on any axis, and
rotation to monitor orientation.
