How Thermal Accelerometers Work
At the heart of MEMSIC thermal accelerometers lies a patented technology that utilizes the natural convection of gas particles to measure acceleration. A single heat source suspended within a cavity containing gas particles creates a temperature gradient. Thermocouples located equidistantly on all four sides of the heat source detect the resulting temperature variations caused by acceleration. When no acceleration is present, the gas particles are evenly distributed around the heat source, and the thermocouples output identical voltages. However, when acceleration occurs, the temperature profile is disrupted, and the thermocouples generate different voltages. The differential voltage across the thermocouples is directly proportional to the acceleration in the X or Y axis.
