ABSTRACT:
An acceleration sensor includes a vibrator and a plurality of pairs of piezoelectric elements which are arranged so as to confront each other through the vibrator. The vibrator is structured so as to be uniformly deformed in accordance with temperature variations. Two pairs of the confronting piezoelectric elements are polarized in opposite directions. An oscillation circuit is connected between the piezoelectric elements and the vibrator to supply the piezoelectric elements with the same driving signals. A first differential circuit is connected to one pair of piezoelectric ceramic elements and a second differential circuit is connected to the other pair of piezoelectric ceramic elements. A third differential circuit is connected to receive the outputs of the first and second differential circuits and provides the output of the acceleration sensor. The differential circuits offset signals due to temperature variations while outputting signals due to acceleration, thereby preventing variations of atmospheric temperature from causing erroneous indications of acceleration.
