Abstract
An accelerometer system comprising: a first magnetic assembly comprising a first pole piece and a first magnet; a second magnetic assembly comprising a second pole piece and a second magnet; a proof mass between the first magnetic assembly and the second magnetic assembly; a first coil disposed around the first pole piece; and a second coil disposed around the second pole piece; and processing circuitry configured to: cause a first current to flow through the first coil to apply a first Lorentz force to the proof mass; cause a second current to flow through the second coil to apply a second Lorentz force to the proof mass; and limit a maximum amplitude of the first current and the second current for at least a threshold period of time.
