 PCB Design Guidelines for 3x3 LGA Accelerometers This technical note is intended to provide information about Kionix?s 3 x 3 mm LGA packages and guidelines for developing PCB land pattern layouts.
 PCB Design Guidelines for 3x5 LGA Accelerometers This technical note is intended to provide information about Kionix?s 3 x 5 mm LGA packages and guidelines for developing PCB land pattern layouts.
 PCB Design Guidelines for 5x5 DFN Accelerometers This technical note is intended to provide information about Kionix?s 5 x 5 mm DFN packages and guidelines for developing PCB land pattern layouts.
 MEMS Sensor Terminology (PDF) A document explaining common MEMS sensor terminology
 Interrupt Threshold Calculator (XLS) A spreadsheet calculator for determining thresholds and delays.
 Kionix Filters and Startup Time (XLS) A spreadsheet calculator for calculating filter caps. Shows how selected filter caps effect start times.
 Sockets for Accelerometer Development (PDF) A list of recommendations for board level accelerometer sockets with links to the manufacturers.
 Kionix Evaluation Board Mating Connector (PDF) All Kionix accelerometer evaluation boards use the same 14-pin header, so a common mating connector can be used for all products. To aid our customers in their accelerometer evaluation, Kionix is offering the name of a retailer, and the part number for the mating connector we recommend, for evaluation board interfacing.
 Noise Measurements This technical note is intended to provide general guidelines for characterizing noise performance of MEMS accelerometers.
