Shock Sensor Amplifier (Accelerometer) - A shock sensor is a capacitive piezoelectric element which generates a charge under physical acceleration. This charge can be converted to a voltage and filtered using high valued resistors and a high input impedance CMOS
amplifier such as the LTC6081. This circuit has a gain of 100 and output 109mV per g of acceleration__ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Mar 16, 2010
Shock-Sensor Prevents Data Corruption - 07/04/96 EDN Design Ideas: Hard-disk drives for laptop and other portable applications need to withstand significant g-force shocks when operating. A typical 1.8-in. drive writes servo information over less than 15% of the disk's active area, which means that the read/write head spends more than 85% Design by Carolyn Platt, Raltron Electronics Corp, Miami, FL
Single Supply Shock/Vibration Sensor Amplifier - The LTC6087/LTC6088 are dual/quad, low noise, low offset, rail-to-rail input/output, unity-gain stable CMOS
operational amplifiers that feature 1pA of input bias current. A 14MHz gain bandwidth and 7.2V/μs slew rate, combined with low noise (10nV/√Hz) and a low 0.75mV offset, make the LTC6087/LTC6088 useful in a variety __ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Jul 25th 2012
