2.2 Voltage to Angle Conversion
Analog output can be transferred to angle using the following equation for conversion:

ySensitivit
OffsetV
out
arcsin
α
Where: Offset = output of the device at 0° inclination position, Sensitivity is the sensitivity of the
device and V
Dout
is the output of the SCA121T. The nominal offset is 2.5 V and the sensitivity is 4
V/g for the SCA121T-D07 and 2 V/g for the SCA121T-D03 and SCA121T-D05.
Angles close to 0° inclination can be estimated quite accurately with straight line conversion but for
the best possible accuracy, arcsine conversion is recommended to be used. The following table
shows the angle measurement error if straight line conversion is used.

2.3 Ratiometric Output
Ratiometric output means that the zero offset point and sensitivity of the sensor are proportional to
the supply voltage. If the SCA121T-D05 supply voltage is fluctuating the SCA121T-D05 output will
also vary. When the same reference voltage for both the SCA121T-D05 sensor module and the
measuring part (A/D-converter) is used, the error caused by reference voltage variation is
automatically compensated for.
