초록

최근 M2M/IoT에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 디바이스의 위치와 자세 등을 인식할 수 있는 동작 인식 센서의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 소형의 디바이스에 적합하도록 저잡음, 저전력, 초소형 6축 관성센서 IC를 구현하였다. 본 논문에서 구현된 IC는 3축의 압전형 자이로 센서와 3축의 압저항형 가속도 센서를 사용하며, 3축의 자이로스코프 감지 회로, 자이로스코프 센서 구동 회로, 3축의 가속도 감지 회로, 16bit sigma-delta ADC, 디지털 필터와 제어 회로로 구성되어 있다. 본 IC은 TSMC $0.18{\mu}m$ mixed signal CMOS공정으로 개발되었으며, STM사의 6축 관성 센서인 LSM330의 소비전류 6.1mA보다는 약 27% 낮은 4.5mA의 소비 전류로 동작한다.

Recently, inertial sensors are popularly used for the location and position recognition of small devices for M2M/IoT. In this paper, we designed low power, low noise, small sized 6-axis inertial sensor IC for mobile applications, which uses a 3-axis piezo-electric gyroscope sensor and a 3-axis piezo-resistive accelerometer sensor. Proposed IC is composed of 3-axis gyroscope readout circuit, two gyroscope sensor driving circuits, 3-axis accelerometer readout circuit, 16bit sigma-delta ADC, digital filter and control circuit and memory. TSMC $0.18{\mu}m$ mixed signal CMOS process was used. Proposed IC reduces 27% of the current consumption of LSM330.
