Linearity

The linearity error characterization method described below is applied for those SCA3000 series

components that have measuring range ±3g or below.

Accurate input acceleration needed in linearity characterization is generated using centrifugal force

in centrifuge, see Figure 22. The RPM of the centrifuge is sweeped so that wanted input

acceleration values are applied in parallel to the sensor’s measuring axis.

Linearity error is the deviation from the straight line through sensor’s sensitivity calibration points,

see Figure 23.

Linearity error is calculated by
