Keywords: , , ,

This paper describes the derivation of a detailed model of a micromachined accelerometer and its implementation in a commercial SPICE package. The sensing element is modeled at a system level, the control and interface electronics at a component level. The SPICE simulation allows very realistic insight into the system behavior, however, the simulation time is considerable long.
