Abstract

The tunneling accelerometer often used for attitude control of micro and nano satellite can be operated both in open loop circuit as well as close loop circuit. Closed-loop operation improves the overall sensor linearity, dynamic range, and bandwidth. The interface circuitry in a closed-loop device reads the sensor signal and uses feedback to maintain the proof mass in a null position in a stable manner. In this paper we present a design and modeling of a PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) Controller for the feedback control of an ultra-sensitive MEMS (Microelectromechanical System) Tunneling Accelerometer to operate in constant current mode which will reduce the system response time, the fatigue of the accelerometer and increase the system stability.Keywords: Tunneling accelerometer, MEMS, PID controller, force balance technique
