difference between the two capacitors. The ASIC also signal conditions and filters (switched capacitor) the signal, providing a
digital output that is proportional to acceleration.

Freescale Semiconductor
The Freescale Accelerometer consists of a MEMS capacitive sensing g-cell and a signal conditioning ASIC contained in a
The sensor can be modeled as a movable beam that moves between two mechanically fixed beams
The ASIC uses switched capacitor techniques to measure the g-cell capacitors and extract the acceleration data from the
