    摘要: An accelerometer closed loop control system comprising: a capacitive accelerometer comprising a proof mass moveable relative to first and second fixed capacitor electrodes; a PWM generator to generate in-phase and anti-phase PWM drive signals with an adjustable mark/space ratio, wherein said drive signals are applied to the first and second electrodes such that they are charged alternately; an output signal detector to detect a pick-off signal from the accelerometer representing a displacement of the proof mass from a null position to provide an error signal, wherein the null position is the position of the proof mass relative to the fixed electrodes when no acceleration is applied; a PWM servo operating in closed loop to vary the mark/space ratio of said PWM drive signals in response to the error signal so that mechanical inertial forces are balanced by electrostatic forces.

    摘要: An accelerometer as disclosed herein includes a support wafer, a bottom wafer, a top wafer, and an inductive pick-off. The support wafer may define a plane and may comprise a first side, a second side, and a proof mass. The proof mass may be configured to move in the plane defined by the support wafer. The bottom wafer may comprise a first side and a second side, and the first side may be positioned over the first side of the support wafer. The top wafer may comprise a first side and a second side, and the first side may be positioned over the second side of the support wafer. The inductive pick-off may comprise a near field resonant conductive coupling mechanism and may be configured to output a signal indicative of an amount of displacement of the proof mass to electronics.

    摘要: A single sensing unit having two electrodes with a common thermal reference is positioned near the centroid of the inertial mass of a differential inductive accelerometer. As the mass is displaced a first sensor detects an increase in inductance while a second sensor detects a decrease in inductance. Significantly, the first and second sensors share a common thermal reference eliminating any thermal differential. As the sensor system is closely aligned with the centroid of the inertial mass the sensor system of the present invention reduces or eliminates any systemic error.
