Micro-Optoelectromechanical Tilt Sensor

Figure 3

Circuit schematic for the half-plane horizon detector. Each side of the tilt detector uses this horizon detector—comprising of 33 photodetector elements, and 32 edge detector cells—sequentially interrogated until the horizon (i.e., edge) is detected. The address is then asserted onto a precharged bus to encode a digital position output. The shaded region is repeated so as to form a 32-element array.
