ABSTRACT:
Accelerometer and sensor assemblies for implantable medical devices such as pacemakers, cardioverters, IPGs, PCDs, defibrillators, ICDs, and the like includes at least one intermediate metallization layer sandwiched between a first lower surface of at least one upper sheet formed from a piezoelectric material surface, and a second upper surface of at least one lower sheet formed from a piezoelectric material. The at least one upper sheet has a first outer edge disposed between its first upper and first lower surfaces. The at least one lower sheet has a second outer edge disposed between its second upper and second lower surfaces. The at least one intermediate metallization layer is not disposed at all locations between the first lower surface and the second upper surface, but extends to an external region disposed between the first outer edge and the second outer edge, and is electrically connected to the external region. Various embodiments of the sensor or accelerometer are capable of providing high amplitude output signals and reducing parts and manufacturing costs.
