A semiconductor accelerometer has been developed for applications in electronically controlled automotive suspensions and other control equipment. While the accelerometer is small, responsive and easily mass-produced, its output is highly temperature dependent and it is vulnerable to resonance fractures. The article reports on the structure and operating principles of this device, and examines methods of damping and temperature compensation to offset its potential disadvantages.
