  • Publication number: 20240154582
    Abstract: A monolithically-integrated current-feedback instrumentation amplifier includes two differential pairs of transistors. A drain terminal of transistor is directly connected to a drain terminal of transistor and to a differential voltage amplifier, and is connected to a ground terminal by means of a first sink resistor. A drain terminal of transistor is directly connected to a drain terminal of transistor and to the differential voltage amplifier, and is connected to a ground terminal by means of a second sink resistor. An output terminal of the differential voltage amplifier is connected to a resistive voltage divider. Source terminals of the transistors are directly connected together and to a first bias current source without a degeneration resistor, and source terminals of the transistors are directly connected together and to a second bias current source without a degeneration resistor.

  • Publication number: 20230400303
    Abstract: The invention relates to an inertial sensor (1) comprising a substrate extending along a drive excitation direction (x) and a detection direction (y) normal to each other, the device plane being perpendicular to a rotation direction (z), a first drive frame (110) and a second drive frame (120), a first sense frame (210), a second sense frame (220), a sense lever (1000) pivotably mounted around a rotation axis (1001), a sensing system comprising a strain gauge (1600) mechanically stressed by the sense lever it is rotating around the rotation axis. The sense lever includes a central portion (1500), a first arm (1100) and a second arm (1200), the central portion having a dimension along the detection direction called central width, the arms having a dimension along the detection direction called arm width, the central width being at least twice greater than the arm width.

  • Publication number: 20230236013
    Abstract: An inertial sensor including a substrate, a first pair of proof masses sensitive to rotation movements occurring around a first direction and a third direction, a second pair of proof masses sensitive to rotation movements occurring around a second direction and the third direction, an excitation device, four frames, a rotatable frame and a sensing system connected to the rotatable frame. This inertial sensor is characterized in that the excitation device is configured to force the first pair of proof masses and the second pair of proof masses into a motion going towards and away from the sensing system, and wherein the readout of the rotation movements occurring in each of the three directions is achieved with piezoelectric gauges.

  • Publication number: 20180163852
    Abstract: A gear shift device (1) of a steering wheel group (500) of a vehicle operatively connects to a gearbox group configurable in an automatic shift mode and a manual shift mode. The gear shift device (1) includes a paddle (10), pushable by the driver between an inactive position and an active position in which it commands a gear shift action of the gearbox group. The gear shift device (1) also includes a control element (20) having a touch interface device (200) located on the paddle (10), suitable to be actuated by the driver to command a plurality of operating modes of the gearbox group.
