Abstract

See full text

Micro-machined accelerometer chips have a sensitive axis perpendicular to the principle surface of the device. In an application where the desired sensing direction is in the plane of a supporting printed circuit board, the accelerometer cannot be mounted directly on the printed circuit board and instead is mounted on a wall perpendicular to the printed circuit board. This requirement to wall-mount the sensor is eliminated by using an accelerometer chip packaged with a signal conditioning circuit in a multi layer ceramic chip carrier. Electrical connections are contained within the layers of the ceramic and terminate at a side surface of the chip carrier. Thus the accelerometer chip sits perpendicular to the printed circuit board and the ceramic chip carrier is attached directly thereto.
