Abstract
A new MEMS accelerometer with low range is designed based on traditional bilateral four Beam micro accelerometer, measuring range is ±10g. Using the ANSYS finite element software to model the accelerometer structure firstly, and then to analysis stress "modal and impact ability". The theoretical sensitivity of the accelerometer reaches 1.029mV/g when the supply voltage is 5V, compared to the traditional structure, it greatly improves low range accelerometer\´s sensitivity.
