Abstract
In this paper, we are going to implement an accelerometer using capacitive sensing element [3]. An accelerometer is a device that can detect movement of an object through space. We are using VHDL-AMS as a base for this modeling. VHDL-AMS is a strict subset of the VHDL which is used to model digital hardware and then implement them on an ASIC of FPGA [8]. The AMS extension enables us to model more complicated circuits which use analog components in them. The capacitive sensing element is used over inductive sensor due to its low power requirement and more accurate output yield
