 The first and most important advise we would like to offer when using our ADXL portfolio is to **carefully read the product datasheet**, this can save you precious time.  The first and most important advise we would like to offer when using our ADXL portfolio is to **carefully read the product datasheet**, this can save you precious time.

 If this is not possible, care must be taken regarding the following specifications: If this is not possible, care must be taken regarding the following specifications:
  
-  * __**VS supply start-up threshold**__: During start-up or power cycling, the VS and VDDIO supplies must always be started up from below 100 mV. When the device is in operation, any time power is removed or falls below the accelerometer power supply lower range voltage, VS and VDDIO supplies must be discharged below 100 mV. **This specification is mandatory**. +  * __**V <wrap lo>RESET</wrap>**__: During start-up or power cycling, the VS and VDDIO supplies must always be started up from below V_RESET voltage. Also, when the device is in operation, any time power is removed or falls below the accelerometer power supply lower range voltage (VS_MIN), VS and VDDIO supplies must be discharged below V_RESET and powered back up for proper operation. **This specification is mandatory**. 
-  * __**Hold time**__: VS and VDDIO supplies must be held below 100 mV for at least 200 ms before re-powering the part. +  * __**Hold time**__: VS and VDDIO supplies must be held below V_RESET for at least the specified hold time before re-powering the part. 
-  * __**Rise time**__: For the worst case scenario (100mV Vs starts up and 200ms hold time) VS and VDDIO supplies rise time must be linear and within 250 μs to reach the supply lower range voltage. For example, for the ADXL372, the power supply lower range voltage is 1.6V, thus the voltage supply should raise from 0V to 1.6V within 250μs. +  * __**Rise time**__: The supply voltage rise time is defined as the time from 0 V to 90% of VS.

 To enable supply discharge, it is recommended to power the device from a microcontroller general-purpose input/output (GPIO), connect a shutdown discharge switch to the supply, or use a voltage regulator with a shutdown discharge feature.  To enable supply discharge, it is recommended to power the device from a microcontroller general-purpose input/output (GPIO), connect a shutdown discharge switch to the supply, or use a voltage regulator with a shutdown discharge feature.
