The MMA8652FC orientation detection algorithm confirms the reliability of the function with a configurable Z-lockout angle.

Based on the known functionality of linear accelerometers, it is not possible to rotate the device about the Z-axis, to detect change

in acceleration at slow angular speeds. The angle at which the device no longer detects the orientation change is referred to as

the “Z-lockout angle” (see Figure 8). The device operates down to 14° from the flat position.

When lifting the device upright from the

flat position, orientation detection will be

active for orientation angles greater than

a user-configurable value.

The default angle is 29° from flat, but the

angle can be set as low as 14°.
