Abstract

Any sensor or system employed to measure a physical property will by default impart some alteration to the original signal due to its inherent non-perfect response. Knowing the relationship between the input and the output of such a sensor or system is therefore essential for the correct definition of the original signal measured. What is presented herein is an experimental investigation of determining a MEMS accelerometer's dynamic characteristics by repurposing the self test pin made available by the manufacturer for simple binary functionality test. The Analog Devices ADXL325 was used for all the experiments described in this document.
