APPLYING A POSITIVE FEEDBACK VOLTAGE TO AN ELECTROMECHANICAL SENSOR UTILIZING A VOLTAGE-TO-VOLTAGE CONVERTER TO FACILITATE A REDUCTION OF CHARGE FLOW IN SUCH SENSOR REPRESENTING SPRING SOFTENING

Reducing a sensitivity of an electromechanical sensor is presented herein. The electromechanical sensor comprises a sensitivity with respect to a variation of a mechanical-to-electrical gain of a sense element of the electromechanical sensor; and a voltage-to-voltage converter component that minimizes the sensitivity by coupling, via a defined feedback capacitance, a positive feedback voltage to a sense electrode of the sense element-the sense element electrically coupled to an input of the voltage-to-voltage converter component. In one example, the voltage-to-voltage converter component minimizes the sensitivity by maintaining, via the defined feedback capacitance, a constant charge at the sense electrode. In another example, the electromechanical sensor comprises a capacitive sense element comprising a first node comprising the sense electrode. Further, a bias voltage component can apply a bias voltage to a second node of the electromechanical sensor. In yet another example, the electromechanical sensor comprises a piezoelectric sense element.
