Abstract

This paper presents an accelerometer that utilizes standard IC bondwires as an inertial sensor, requiring no external components or MEMS processing. The readout circuitry is implemented in a standard 0.13 m CMOS process and detects the change in mutual inductance caused by the relative deflection of adjacent bondwires. The accelerometer has a measured sensitivity of 10 kHz/g with a bandwidth of 700 Hz, a bias stability of 35 mg and consumes 9 mA from a 1.5 V supply .
