Solid-State Electronic Interface For A Levitated Disc Accelerometer

Solid-State Electronic Interface For A Levitated Disc Accelerometer
Solid-State Electronic Interface For A Levitated Disc Accelerometer
An IC electronic interface for a micromachined levitated disc accelerometer, using a 0.6µm CMOS technology from AustriaMicroSystems is presented. The system is based on a second order electromechanical modulator, and as the disc is electrostatically levitated there is no ohmic contact between the disc and the rest of the system. This distinguishes the pick-off circuit from a typical capacitive MEMS interface.

Abstract

An IC electronic interface for a micromachined levitated disc accelerometer, using a 0.6µm CMOS technology from AustriaMicroSystems is presented. The system is based on a second order electromechanical modulator, and as the disc is electrostatically levitated there is no ohmic contact between the disc and the rest of the system. This distinguishes the pick-off circuit from a typical capacitive MEMS interface.
