摘要： In a displacement detection device, an acceleration sensor generates at least a first acceleration signal relating to an axis of detection, and a displacement detection circuit is connected to the acceleration sensor has a comparator stage for comparing the acceleration signal with a programmable acceleration threshold and generates a displacement-detection signal. A high-pass filter is arranged between the acceleration sensor and the comparator stage so as to reduce a DC component of the acceleration signal. The cut-off frequency of the high-pass filter is modified according to the type of displacements that are to be detected.

摘要： In an integrated free-fall detection device for a portable apparatus an acceleration sensor generates acceleration signals correlated to the components of the acceleration of the portable apparatus along three detection axes. A dedicated purely hardware circuit connected to the acceleration sensor generates a free-fall detection signal in a continuous way and in real-time. The free-fall detection signal has a first logic value in the event that the acceleration signals are simultaneously lower than a respective acceleration threshold, and is sent to a processor unit of the portable apparatus as an interrupt signal to activate appropriate actions of protection for the portable apparatus. Preferably, the acceleration sensor and the dedicated purely hardware circuit are integrated in a single chip and the acceleration sensor is made as a MEMS.

摘要： A digital high-pass filter has an input, an output, and a subtractor stage, having a first input terminal, a second input terminal and an output terminal. The first input terminal of the subtractor stage is connected to the input of the digital high-pass filter and the output terminal is connected to the output of the digital high-pass filter. A recursive circuit branch is connected between the output of the digital high-pass filter and the second input terminal of the subtractor stage. Within the recursive circuit branch are cascaded an accumulation stage, constituted by an integrator circuit, and a divider stage. The cutoff frequency of the digital high-pass filter is variable according to a dividing factor of the divider stage.

摘要： A sensor device for an electronic apparatus, including a sensing structure for generating a first detection signal, and a dedicated integrated circuit connected to the sensing structure for detecting a first event associated with the electronic apparatus and for generating a first interrupt signal upon detection of the first event.
