0x1F: TRANSIENT_THS Register

The Transient Threshold register sets the threshold limit for the detection of the transient acceleration. The value in the

TRANSIENT_THS register corresponds to a g value which is compared against the values of High-Pass Filtered Data. If the High-

Pass Filtered acceleration value exceeds the threshold limit an event flag is raised and the interrupt is generated if enabled.

The threshold THS[6:0] is a 7-bit unsigned number, 0.063g/LSB. The maximum threshold is 8g. Even if the part is set to full

scale at 2g or 4g this function will still operate up to 8g. If the Low-Noise bit is set in Register 0x2A the maximum threshold to be

reached is 4g.

Note: If configuring the transient detection threshold for less than 1g, the high-pass filter will need some settling time. The settling

time will vary depending on selected ODR, high-pass frequency cutoff and threshold. For more information, please refer to

Freescale application note, AN4071.

0x20: TRANSIENT_COUNT

The TRANSIENT_COUNT sets the minimum number of debounce counts continuously matching the condition where the

unsigned value of high-pass filtered data is greater than the user specified value of TRANSIENT_THS.

The time step for the transient detection debounce counter is set by the value of the system ODR and the Oversampling mode.
