An app note from Maxim, Overcoming disorientation: Practical ways to assemble MEMS inertial sensors
Component placement and mounting conditions can adversely affect MEMS inertial sensor performance. This application note contains practical considerations for enhancing sensor system operation where the “real-world” environment presents undesirable locomotive signals and system resonances. Topics include placement considerations on the PCB, external motion sources on the PCB (PCB resonance), and assembly mounting considerations.
