Pull-in-based μg-resolution accelerometer: characterization and noise analysis

The pull-in time (tpi) of electrostatically actuated parallel-plate microstructures enables the realization of a high-sensitivity accelerometer that uses time measurement as the transduction mechanism. The key feature is the existence of a metastable region that dominates pull-in behavior, thus maki...
