Micromachined Accelerometer
±40g Amplified
The MMAS40G family of silicon capacitive, micro–machined accelerometers
features integral signal amplification, signal conditioning, a 4–pole low–pass
filter and temperature compensation. Zero–G offset, full scale span and filter
roll–off are factory set and require no external passives. A calibrated self–test
feature mechanically displaces the seismic mass with the application of a digital
self–test signal.
The MMAS40G incorporates a single polysilicon seismic mass, suspended
between two fixed polysilicon plates (G–cell). The forces of acceleration move
the seismic mass, thereby resulting in a change in capacitance. The G–cell is
sealed at the wafer level, creating a particle–free environment. The G–cell
features built–in damping and over–range stops to protect it from mechanical
shock.
MMAS40G accelerometers are ideally suited for automotive crash detection
and recording, vibration monitoring, automotive suspension control, appliance
control systems, etc.
