PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Freescale accelerometer is a surface-micromachined integrated-circuit accelerometer. The device consists of a surface mi-
cromachined capacitive sensing cell (g-cell) and a signal conditioning ASIC contained in a single package. The sensing element
is sealed hermetically at the wafer level using a bulk micromachined cap wafer. The g-cell is a mechanical structure formed from
semiconductor materials (polysilicon) using semiconductor processes (masking and etching). It can be modeled as a set of
beams attached to a movable central mass that move between fixed beams. The movable beams can be deflected from their
rest position by subjecting the system to an acceleration
As the beams attached to the central mass move, the distance from them to the fixed beams on one side will increase by the
same amount that the distance to the fixed beams on the other side decreases. The change in distance is a measure of accel-
eration. The g-cell beams form two back-to-back capacitors
between the beams changes and each capacitor's value will change, (C = A
electric constant, and D is the distance between the beams.
The ASIC uses switched capacitor techniques to measure the g-cell capacitors and extract the acceleration data from the differ-
ence between the two capacitors. The ASIC also signal conditions and filters (switched capacitor) the signal, providing a digital
output that is proportional to acceleration.
