Abstract: Based on the electro-mechanical coupling principle,a shocking-acceleration switch with a threshold adjusting function is presented.The threshold acceleration is set by adjusting the bias voltage.Based on a theoretical analysis for an inertial step-signal,the transient response of the switch in terms of half-sinusoidal,pulsed,and stepped shocking acceleration is simulated using Coventor-Ware.The threshold of the switches ranges from 1000g to 5000g,and the response time is less than 60μs.A fabricated micro-switch array has been tested,resulting in satisfactory switching capability under shocking acceleration,which agrees well with the design.
Key words: :MEMS, shocking-acceleration switch, threshold adjusting function, latching function, electro-mechanical coupling principle
