Sensitivity linearization technique for a time based MEMS accelerometer

A high-resolution, high-sensitivity capacitive accelerometer based on pull-in time measurement is described in this paper. The high sensitivity of pull-in time is being explored to implement high performance accelerometers, and non-linearity is the main characteristic compromising device performance...
