Abstract:
Using higher order sigma-delta modulator topologies, similar to the ones used for electronic A/D converters, and applying them to micromachined capacitive sensors is a promising approach to increase the performance of these sesnors. The paper presents simulation and measurement results of different architectures applied to a bulk-micromachined accelerometer.
