Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of MEMS micro-inertial instruments. In particular, it relates to a capacitive micro-accelerometer which adopts bulk silicon processing micro-mechanical structure design and integrated circuit design. Background technique

[0002] Capacitive micro-accelerometers are widely used in civilian industrial control and military fields. Capacitive micro-accelerometers have the advantages of low power consumption, high sensitivity, simple structure, and inherent low temperature sensitivity. The interface between the mechanical sensor and the signal readout and processing circuit is the main problem in the design of the capacitive micro-accelerometer. In many cases, the interface circuit determines the resolution of the micro-accelerometer to a certain extent. Traditional signal readout and processing circuits are made of discrete components, which not only have large volume and low resolution, but also have problems in repeata...
