Анотація An improved electrical equivalent circuit for a capacitive MEMS accelerometer, incorporating temperature, pressure and squeezed film effects is reported. The circuit model corresponds to a single degree of freedom (SDOF) vibrating system, including dominant micro physical mechanisms. Static, transient and frequency response analysis are carried out at temperature and pressure ranges of 100 K to 400 K and 30 to 3000 Pa respectively. The effect of these parameters on the resonance frequency, peak displacement and settling time of the accelerometer are determined. Simulations are performed using PSpice® circuit simulator.
