Resettable high-voltage capable high impedance biasing network for capacitive sensors
Abstract:
A high-voltage MEMS biasing network. The network has a reset mode wherein a capacitive sensor is charged, and a functional mode wherein the MEMS biasing network provides a high impedance between the capacitive sensor and a bias voltage source. The network includes a biasing circuit, a mirror circuit, and a control circuit. The biasing circuit and the mirror circuit have a charging state and a high impedance state. The control circuit includes a first branch that controls the biasing circuit and a second branch that controls the mirror circuit. The biasing network receives a logic control signal, the first branch puts the biasing circuit into the charging state when the logic control signal is a first logic signal, and puts the biasing circuit into the high impedance state when the logic control signal is a second logic signal.
