Abstract

A multi-step electromechanical ΣΔ modulator for μg accelerometers is described. A two-element sensor array is used in two ΣΔ loops and resolution improves by >2x compared to a conventional 2nd-order ΣΔ modulator. This CMOS chip operates at 1MHz and provides 0.2-1.2V/pF sensitivity, <20aF resolution, >120dB dynamic range, and dissipates <12mW.
