Abstract: An integrated array of pressure transducers capable of producing an analog output voltage representative of the applied pressure is proposed. The individual transducing elements (16) are defined by a three-layer structure including a thin layer of piezoelectric material (10) disposed between a reference potential plate (12) and a plurality of electrodes (15) contained in a silicon substrate (14). A force applied to a localized portion of the reference plate will cause a deflection of the piezoelectric material towards the electrodes on the substrate, inducing a capacitive charge on the electrode in the localized area. This capacitance is stores at a node A associated with the transducing element, and may be interrogated by a sensing circuit (18) located in the silicon substrate. Since the induced charge is directly proportional to the applied force, a measurement of the output voltage from node A will yield a direct indication of the localized force applied to the sensor.
