Abstract:
1. An acceleration sensor arrangement comprising in one package: a logic interface of the package for receiving from external of the package a user programmable acceleration threshold and a user programmable delay; an acceleration threshold detector for detecting acceleration and for providing an output signal having one of a first value and a second value, the output signal having the first value when the acceleration is less than the user programmable acceleration threshold, the acceleration threshold detector being arranged to switch the output signal from the first value to the second value when the acceleration reaches the user programmable acceleration threshold, wherein the acceleration threshold detector receives the user programmable acceleration threshold from the logic interface of the package; and a processor circuit for receiving the output signal from the acceleration threshold detector and for generating an event signal based on the user programmable delay, the event signal to trigger an event in response to the output signal switching to the second value, wherein the processor circuit receives the user programmable delay from the logic interface of the package.
