US Patent Issued to The Regents of The University of Michigan on April 29 for "Ultra-low power readout circuit with high-voltage bias generation for MEMS accelerometer" (Michigan Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 9 -- United States Patent no. 12,287,352, issued on April 29, was assigned to The Regents of The University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, Mich.).

"Ultra-low power readout circuit with high-voltage bias generation for MEMS accelerometer" was invented by Yimai Peng (Ann Arbor, Mich.), David Blaauw (Ann Arbor, Mich.), Dennis Sylvester (Ann Arbor, Mich.) and David Kyojin Choo (Ann Arbor, Mich.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A motion sensing system uses high-voltage biasing to achieve high resolution with ultra-low power. The motion sensing system consists of a motion sensor, a readout circuit, and a high-voltage bias circuit to generate the optimized bias voltage for the motion se...
