摘要: The present paper describes the development of a digital output accelerometer composed microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based piezoelectric accelerometers and arrayed complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) inverters accompanied by capacitors. were fabricated from multilayers Pt/Ti/PZT/Pt/Ti/SiO2 deposited on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers. connected to CMOS inverters. Each was capacitor with different capacitance called 'satellite capacitor'. We have confirmed that voltage generated can vary high low level; state has turned 'off-state' into 'on-state' when is larger than threshold also satellite become at lower acceleration. On increasing acceleration, number on-state increased. Assuming off-state correspond logic '0' '1', expressed accelerations 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 5.5  m s − 2 as outputs 111, 110, 100, 000, respectively.
