What is a piezo-resistive accelerometer?
A piezo-resistive accelerometer is an accelerometer that uses a piezo-resistive substrate in place of the piezo electric crystal and the force exerted by the seismic mass changes the resistance of the etched bridge network and a whetstone bridge network detects this. Piezo-resistive accelerometers have the advantage over piezo-electric accelerometers in that they can measure accelerations down to zero Hertz.
