4.1
An internal power-on reset (POR) is implemented to ensure proper reset during power-up. The
POR is active during 100µs (typical value). For this application the power on sequence only
occurs when a battery or an external supply is connected to VDD. Normally GND is connected
first. There should be a coupling capacitor connected between VDD and GND as shown in
chapter 4.8. Low resistance connections are required between decoupling capacitor and sensor
pads (< 100Ohms).
4.2
Two operation modes can be selected: NORMAL and STAND-BY mode. The operation modes
are selected by setting SEL1 and SEL0 according to the table given below.
SEL.1
When stand-by mode is activated, all sensor electrodes are connected to Vss. No electrostatic
forces are generated to the electrodes. Power consumption is drastically reduced in this mode.
All blocks are disabled except some bias generation and power-on reset generation. This
feature enables ultra low power mode operation if the sensor module is turned into stand-by
mode e.g. between each acceleration measurement.
4.3
Using the channel multiplexer, it is possible to choose specific axis output signals on the AMUX
pin. This allows the user to connect the triaxial BMA140 to an economical single channel AD
converter without loss of axis information. The channel selection on AMUX is performed by
setting SEL.0 and SEL.1 according to the following table. By setting both, SEL.0 and SEL.1 to
1, the sensor module is set to stand-by mode.

Description
Acceleration measurements of all axes
(Ax, Ay, Az plus AMUX) are performed.
All sensor features are enabled.
Acceleration measurements are stopped,
Ax, Ay, Az and AMUX signals are driven
to GND through 110kΩ resistors.
