1 Accelerometer Sensors Presented by: Mohammad Zand Seyed Mohammad Javad Moghimi K.N.T. University of Technology

2 Outline: Accelerometer Introduction Background Device market Types Theory Capacitive sensor Piezoelectric sensor Signal Conditioning Conditioning Circuits Standard ICs Miscellaneous Extra Information Sensor Manufactures Conclusions References

3 Background: MEMS Micro Electro Mechanical Systems Small devices that perform the same function as larger mechanical systems Usually machined out of silicon Accelerometers Devices that are used to measure acceleration Used for airbag sensors, etc.

4 Device Market: Primary Market Automobile Airbag Sensors Approximately 50 million sensors/year Sensors sell for approximately $10 each Secondary Markets Computer Joysticks Military Applications Amusement Park Technology

5 Types: 1. Potentiometric 2. LVDT 3. Variable Reluctance 4. Piezoresistive 5. Capacitive 6. Piezoelectric capacitive transducers strain gage transducers optical transducers (laser interference measurement) resistive transducers electromagnetic transducers

6 Piezoelectric Types: i. Shear system ii. Compression system iii. Bending or Flexure system

7 Piezoelectric Advantages: 1. Extremely wide dynamic range, almost free of noise - suitable for shock measurement as well as for almost imperceptible vibration. 2. Excellent linearity over their dynamic range. 3. Wide frequency range, high frequencies can be measured. 4. Compact yet highly sensitive. 5. No moving parts - no wear. 6. Self-generating - no external power required. 7. Great variety of models available for nearly any purpose. 8. Integration of the output signal provides velocity and displacement. ent.

8 Comparing Piezoelectric with others: Sensor Type Advantage Disadvantage Piezoresistive Electrodynamic - measures static acceleration - also for static measurement - limited resolution because of resistive noise - only for low and medium frequencies - supply voltage required - only for low frequencies Capacitive - measures static acceleration - cheap manufacturing with semiconductor technology - low resolution - fragile

9 Comparing Piezoelectric Types: Shear Compression Bending Advantage - low temperature transient sensitivity - low base strain sensitivity - high sensitivity-to to- mass ratio - robustness - technological advantages - best sensitivity-to to- mass ratio Drawback - lower sensitivity-to to- mass ratio - high temperature transient sensitivity - high base strain sensitivity - fragile - relatively high temperature transient sensitivity

10 Theory: Capacitive sensor Change in Capacitance due to the Lateral Movement of the Plates Change in Capacitance due to the Change in Plate Separation Parallel Plate Capacitor A General Accelerometer Two Objects in Space Differential Capacitor

11 Theory: Piezoelectric sensor Rx = Resistance of piezo Cx = Capacitance of piezo Cc = Capacitance of cable Charge Q amplifying (charge) = d F circuit Ca = Capacitance of amplifier circuit Ra = Resistance of amplifier circuit Useful frequency range

12 Conditioning Circuit: Capacitive

13 Conditioning Circuit: Piezoelectric Charge Output Sensors - high output impedance, piezoelectric sensors (without built-in in electronics) which typically require external charge or voltage amplifiers for signal conditioning. Internally Amplified Sensors - low impedance, piezoelectric force, acceleration and pressure type sensors with built-in in integrated circuits. (ICP is registered trademark of PCB Piezotronics,, Inc. which uniquely identifies PCB's sensors which incorporate built-in in electronics.)

14 Conditioning Circuit: Piezoelectric Advantage Drawback ICP Compatible Sensors - Fixed sensitivity regardless of cable length and cable quality - Low-impedance output can be transmitted over long cables in harsh environments - Inexpensive signal conditioners and cables - Intrinsic self-test function - Withstands better harsh conditions like dirt and humidity - Constant current excitation required (reduces battery operating hours) - Inherent noise source - Upper operating temperature limited to <120 C Charge Mode Sensors - No power supply required - ideal for battery powered equipment - No noise, highest resolution - Wide dynamic range - Higher operating temperatures - Smaller sensors possible - Limited cable length (< 10 m) - Special low noise cable required - Charge amplifier required

15 Conditioning Circuit: Piezoelectric ICP principle

16 Conditioning Circuit: Piezoelectric Charge Amplified System Schematic
