The self-test generates an electrostatic force, deflecting the sensing element’s proof mass, thus
checking the complete signal path. The true self test performs following checks:
Sensing element movement check
ASIC signal path check
PCB signal path check
Micro controller A/D and signal path check
The created deflection can be seen in analogue output. Self test can be activated applying logic”1”
(positive supply voltage level) to ST pin (pin 9) of SCA720. The self test Input high voltage level is
4 – Vdd+0.3 V and input low voltage level is 0.3 – 1 V.
Figure 7. Self test wave forms.
V1 = initial output voltage before the self test function is activated.
V2 = output voltage during the self test function.
V3 = output voltage after the self test function has been de-activated and after stabilization time
Please note that the error band specified for V3 is to guarantee that the output is within 5% of the
initial value after the specified stabilization time. After a longer time (max. 1 second) V1=V3.
T1 = Pulse length for Self test activation
T2 = Saturation delay
T3 = Recovery time
T4 = Stabilization time =T2+T3
T5 = Rise time during self test.

3. Application information
The SCA720 should be powered from a well regulated 5 V DC power supply. Coupling of digital
noise to the power supply line should be minimized. 100nF filtering capacitor between VDD pin 11
and GND plane must be used. If regulator is placed far from component for example other PCB it
is recommend adding more capacitance between VDD and GND to ensure current drive capability
of the system. For example 470 pF and 1uF capacitor can be used.
The SCA720 has a ratiometric output. To get the best performance use the same reference
voltage for both the SCA720 and Analog/Digital converter.
Locate the 100nF power supply filtering capacitor close to VDD pin 11. Use as short a trace length
as possible. Connect the other end of capacitor directly to the ground plane. Connect the GND pin
5 to underlying ground plane. Use as wide ground and power supply planes as possible. Avoid
narrow power supply or GND connection strips on PCB.

Housing dimensions and recommended PCB layout [mm].
Notes:
It is important that the part is parallel to the PCB plane and that there is no angular alignment
error from intended measuring direction during assembly process.
mounting alignment error will increase the cross-axis sensitivity by 1.7%
mounting alignment error will change the output by 17 mg
Wave soldering is not recommended
Ultrasonic cleaning is not allowed
A supply voltage by-pass capacitor (> 100 nF) is recommended
