Abstract:
An inertia force sensor that shortens a time from power activation until inertia force can be detected includes an oscillator, an oscillation circuit unit, and a detection circuit unit. The oscillation circuit unit functions as a closed loop self oscillation circuit with the oscillator as a resonant element, and includes a CV conversion circuit converting a monitor signal based on electrostatic capacitance according to an oscillating state of oscillator into a monitor signal based on a voltage corresponding to an amount in change of the electrostatic capacitance, and an automatic gain control circuit controlling gain based on the monitor signal converted at the CV conversion circuit to generate a driving signal, and supplying the driving signal to the oscillator. The CV conversion circuit includes an amplifier that amplifies a monitor signal with an amplification factor for a predetermined period after power activation.
