Self test takes The output amplifier can drive resistive loads up to 2 mA of approximately 300 μs from the assertion of the ST pin to a source current, for example a load greater than 2.5 kΩ for 5 V result. Acceleration outputs return approximately 300 μs after operation. If the output is to drive a capacitive load greater than the release of the ST pin.

A fully integrated electromechanical self test function is designed 22 into the ADXL1005. This function electrostatically actuates the accelerometer proof mass, resulting in a displacement of the 20 capacitive sense fingers.
