Abstract: This article compares MEMS capacitive accelerometer springs. This study designs MEMS single-axis accelerometers with alternative suspension systems. Structure analysis for 2 kHz resonance.

Accelerometers turn motion into measurable signals. From tilt and vibration to g-forces, they underpin countless designs. In this “Fun with Fundamentals” entry, we demystify their operation and take a ...
