Implementation and measurement of a miniaturized silicon resonant accelerometer
A miniaturized Silicon Resonant Accelerometer(SRA) consisting of a MEMS (Micro-electro-mechanical System) and an ASIC(Application Specific Integrated Circuit) readout circuit is designed. The MEMS sensor is fabricated by an 80
μ
m thick SOI process and the noise in the ASIC is reduced by a series of vacuum packaging technologies. Firstly
a vibration signal is used as the control signal of a chopper in automatic gain control circuit to reduce the flicker noise and extra power consumption. Then
a multiplier in the linear area multiplier is used to replace the traditional Gilbert unit to reduce power consumption by sharply reducing system power supply voltage. Finally
a reset counter is taken in digital frequency conversion to inhibit quantization noise in the concerned bandwidth. The experiments show that the proposed SRA achieves sub-μg bias instability and 2.5 μg/√Hz velocity random walk within ±30
g
full scale. Moreover
to reduce the temperature drifting due to self heating
the power consumption of the SRA has been carefully limited under 3.5 mW. After integration
the entire prototype occupies a space of 45 mm×30 mm×20 mm. It is characterized by high performance
low power and good miniaturization.
