Kionix does not recommend hand soldering any of its DFN parts due to the small form factor of the DFN package. It is a distinct possibility that, in doing so, shorts will be created between pins. If hand soldering cannot be avoided, this guide specifies which pins can be shorted without compromising the operation of the accelerometer. (Ideally, none of the pins should be shorted, with the exception of Vdd and PS.)
 Interrupt Threshold Calculator (XLS) An Excel spreadsheet calculator for determining thresholds and delays.
 Kionix Filters and Startup Time (XLS) An Excel spreadsheet calculator for calculating filter caps. Shows how selected filter caps effect start times.
 Sockets for Accelerometer Development (PDF) An Adobe file with a list of recommendations for board level accelerometer sockets. Links are provided to the manufacturers.
