摘要
A continuous-time accelerometer interface is feasible when a high dynamic range together with a wide signal band is required. In this paper the implementation of a continuous-time force-feedback loop for a capacitive sensor element with a full-scale signal of +/- 1.5g is presented. The interface is measured to attain a noise equivalent acceleration (NEA) density of 500ng/root Hz at 30 Hz for the on-chip digitized output and 300ng/root Hz at 30 Hz for the analog output using a capacitive half-bridge sensor element with a single pair of electrodes. The essential circuit structures of the closed-loop sensor will be presented and analyzed in detail. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
