Abstract

See full text

An accelerometer fabricated by silicon etching techniques. A first suspended beam is formed having a first conductive portion, the beam being deflectable in response to an acceleration force. a second beam having second and third conductive portions is suspended over the first beam. Phased lock loop circuitry oscillates the second beam at resonance and provides an electrical signal proportional to the acceleration force.
