Model 675 High Performance Arbitrary Waveform Generator
San Rafael, CA – October 15, 2021 – Berkeley Nucleonics' technical staff has
published a whitepaper entitled, "Ultrasonic MEMS Testing with the Model 675 High Performance AWG."
This application note describes how to use the Model 675 High Performance Arbitrary
Waveform Generator to generate the signals for the test and design of Ultrasonic
MEMS sensors.
Model 675 High Performance AWG
MEMS Sensor
The Model 675 High Performance AWG simplifies the generation of pulse and chirp
signals typically used to perform design tests and characterize MEMS sensors. Considering
the amplitude of 24 Vpp into High-Impedance (12 Vpp into 50 Ohm)
joined to an analog shift of ±12 V into High-Impedance, the Model 675 represents
the ideal solution for these kinds of tests where high voltage amplitude, programmable
pulse's width, and rise/fall time are mandatory.
- Accelerate testing, reliability, characterization, and failure analysis of ultrasonic
MEMS sensors.
- Reduces the time to generate complex train pulse scenarios.
General Considerations About MEMS Sensors MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems)
sensors leverage silicon’s unique mechanical properties to integrate mechanical
structures able to sense acceleration, rotation, angular rate, vibration, displacement,
heading, and other physical and environmental properties. Those considerations,
united to an analog front end with an excellent harmonic distortion, produce a circuit
that combines electrical circuits and 3-dimensional mechanical structures.
Nowadays, MEMS sensors and microphones are widely used in many applications starting
from distance and motion detection, mobiles, IoT, drones, automotive, pressure measurements,
and humidity and temperature sensing, to name a few.
