ABSTRACT:
An accelerometer uses variations in capacitance to detect and measure the movement of a moving mass in relation to a fixed part. The accelerometer comprises a first series of electrodes, which are solidly connected to the mass and which are interdigitated with a second series of electrodes. The second series of electrodes are solidly connected to the fixed part. The accelerometer further comprises an electronic circuit which: detects the variation in at least one capacitance between the moving mass and the fixed part, in the form of a moving mass displacement indicator; and also generates an electrostatic stress in order to return the moving mass to the initial position thereof.
